Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure your Moen Essie faucet continues to perform optimally and maintain its Mediterranean Bronze finish.

Cleaning the Faucet:

• Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• The Mediterranean Bronze finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots, making cleaning easier.

Battery Replacement:

• The faucet operates on 6 AA batteries (included). When the batteries are low, the sensor light may flash or the touchless function may become intermittent.
• To replace, locate the battery pack under the sink, disconnect it, and replace all 6 AA batteries. Reconnect the pack.

Soap Dispenser Refill:

• To refill the matching soap dispenser, simply lift the pump head from the top of the dispenser.
• Pour liquid soap directly into the reservoir. Replace the pump head.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your Moen Essie faucet, refer to the following common solutions:

• No Water Flow (Touchless): Check if the batteries are properly installed and charged. If the issue persists, try disconnecting the control box and battery pack, waiting 10 minutes, and then reconnecting them.
• Intermittent Sensor Response: Ensure the sensor area is clean and free from obstructions. Low batteries can also cause inconsistent sensor performance.
• Low Water Pressure: Verify that the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink are fully open. Check for kinks in the supply lines.
• Leaking: Ensure all Duralock Quick Connect fittings are securely attached. Check all threaded connections for tightness.
• Sprayer Not Retracting: Check the weight on the pulldown hose under the sink to ensure it is positioned correctly and not obstructed.
