- Secure Base: Use the provided Allen key to tighten the mounting hardware from above the countertop, securing the faucet firmly in place.
- Connect Water Lines: Under the sink, connect the pre-attached nylon water lines to your hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.

- Attach QuickWeight Counterweight: Clip the QuickWeight counterweight onto the sprayer hose at the recommended height to ensure smooth retraction of the pull-down sprayer.

7. Operating Instructions
Your KRAUS Oletto faucet is designed for intuitive use:
- Water Flow and Temperature Control: The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Move the handle forward for cold water and backward for hot water. Lift the handle to increase flow. The 90-degree forward rotation allows for installation in tight spaces without hitting a backsplash.
- Pull-Down Sprayer: Grasp the sprayer head and pull it down from the spout. The flexible hose and swivel adapter allow for extensive reach and maneuverability around the sink.
- Dual Function Spray: The sprayer head features two modes: an aerated stream for general washing and a powerful spray for heavy-duty rinsing. Press the button on the sprayer head to switch between these modes. The faucet will automatically revert to stream mode when turned off.
- Spout Swivel: The high-arc spout can swivel 360 degrees, providing flexibility for various sink tasks.

8. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your KRAUS Oletto faucet:
- Cleaning the Finish: The Spot-Free Stainless Steel finish is designed to resist water spots and fingerprints. Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning Sprayer Nozzles: The easy-clean silicone nozzles can be wiped to remove mineral build-up. If the aerator needs replacement, it is a standard coin-slot aerator, requiring no special tools.
- General Care: Periodically check all connections for tightness and ensure the QuickWeight counterweight is positioned correctly for smooth sprayer retraction.

9. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your faucet, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:
- Low Water Flow: Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator for mineral build-up and clean if necessary.
- Leaks: Ensure all water line connections are securely tightened. Check the O-rings and gaskets for proper seating and damage.
- Sprayer Not Retracting: Verify that the QuickWeight counterweight is correctly installed and not obstructed under the sink. Ensure the hose is not kinked.
- Noise: Humming or whistling noises can sometimes be caused by water pressure issues or loose components. Ensure all parts are securely fastened.
