Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure all necessary parts are present and that you have the required tools. Turn off the main water supply to your kitchen sink before proceeding.

Tools Required (Not Included):

• Adjustable wrench
• Phillips screwdriver
• Plumber's putty or silicone sealant
• Flashlight
• Bucket and towels

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Sink: Clear the area under the sink. If replacing an old faucet, remove it and clean the mounting surface thoroughly.
2. Mount the Faucet Body: Place the gasket on the underside of the faucet base. Insert the faucet body through the holes in the sink or countertop. From underneath, secure the faucet with the provided mounting hardware (washers and nuts). Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
3. Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Connect the other ends of the supply lines to your home's hot and cold water shut-off valves. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten connections, ensuring no leaks.
4. Install the Side Sprayer: Insert the sprayer hose through the designated hole in the sink or countertop. Connect the sprayer hose to the diverter port on the faucet body. Secure the sprayer base from underneath the sink with its mounting nut.
5. Test for Leaks: Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. Run both hot and cold water through the faucet and test the sprayer function.

Water Flow and Temperature Control:

• Mixed Water: Adjust both handles simultaneously to achieve your desired water temperature and flow rate.
• To Turn Off: Push both lever handles down to the closed position.

Using the Side Sprayer:

• Ensure the main faucet is running.
• Press the button or lever on the side sprayer to divert water flow from the main spout to the sprayer.
• Release the button or lever to return water flow to the main spout.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Moen faucet.

Cleaning the Finish:

• Clean the chrome finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Aerator Maintenance:

• If water flow decreases, the aerator at the end of the spout may be clogged with debris.
• Unscrew the aerator counter-clockwise.
• Rinse any debris from the screen and reassemble.

Cartridge Maintenance:

• Moen faucets use Duralast cartridges designed for long-lasting, drip-free performance.
• If a leak occurs from the handles or spout, the cartridge may need replacement. Refer to the warranty section for details on obtaining replacement parts.

Troubleshooting

Refer to this section for solutions to common issues.

Low Water Flow:

• Check Aerator: The aerator may be clogged. Clean it as described in the Maintenance section.
• Check Supply Lines: Ensure shut-off valves under the sink are fully open. Inspect supply lines for kinks or obstructions.
• Water Pressure: Verify that your home's overall water pressure is adequate.

Leaks:

• At Connections: Tighten supply line connections or sprayer hose connection. Do not overtighten.
• From Spout or Handles: This often indicates a worn cartridge. Contact Moen customer support for replacement parts under warranty.

Sprayer Not Working:

• Main Faucet On: Ensure the main faucet is running when attempting to use the sprayer.
• Hose Kinked: Check the sprayer hose under the sink for any kinks or obstructions.
