Operating Instructions
The MOEN Adler faucet features a single-handle design for easy control of water flow and temperature.
- Turning On/Off: Lift the handle to turn on the water. Push the handle down to turn off the water.
- Adjusting Temperature: Rotate the handle to the left for hotter water and to the right for colder water. The Posi-Temp® valve maintains water temperature within a safe range, preventing sudden temperature changes.
- Diverting Water to Shower: To switch water flow from the tub spout to the showerhead, pull up the diverter knob located on the tub spout. Push it down to return water flow to the tub spout.
- Adjusting Showerhead Spray: The 4-spray showerhead allows you to customize your showering experience. Rotate the outer ring of the showerhead to cycle through different spray patterns.
Maintenance and Care
To maintain the finish and performance of your MOEN Adler faucet, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the Spot Resist Brushed Nickel finish with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning the Showerhead: Mineral deposits can accumulate on the showerhead nozzles over time. Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any buildup. For stubborn deposits, soak the showerhead in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water.
- Regular Inspection: Periodically check for any leaks or drips. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage or water waste.
