Setup and Installation
This section provides general guidelines for installing your KOHLER Lilyfield faucet. For detailed, model-specific instructions, always refer to the installation guide included with your product packaging.
- Preparation: Ensure the water supply is turned off at the main shut-off valve. Clear the area under the sink and remove any existing faucet.
- Mounting the Faucet: Place the faucet body onto the sink holes. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware, ensuring a tight seal.
- Connecting Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Use appropriate wrenches to tighten connections, but avoid over-tightening.
- Drain Assembly: Install the drain assembly according to the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring all seals are properly seated to prevent leaks.

Operating Instructions
The KOHLER Lilyfield faucet features two lever handles for precise control over water temperature and flow.
- Cold Water: Turn the right handle counter-clockwise to activate cold water flow.
- Hot Water: Turn the left handle counter-clockwise to activate hot water flow.
- Temperature Control: Adjust the handles simultaneously to achieve the desired water temperature.
- Flow Control: The further the handles are turned, the greater the water flow.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the brushed nickel finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris, and reattach it.
- Leak Prevention: Periodically check connections under the sink for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections as needed, but do not overtighten.
