- To Adjust Temperature: Move the handle left for hotter water and right for colder water.
- To Adjust Flow: Lift the handle higher for increased water flow and lower for reduced flow.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet
To maintain the polished chrome finish, clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth.
Ceramic Cartridge Maintenance
The faucet is equipped with a durable ceramic disc cartridge (FCCARD003) designed for long-lasting, drip-free performance. If you experience persistent dripping or difficulty in controlling water flow/temperature, the cartridge may need to be inspected or replaced. Consult a qualified plumber for cartridge replacement.
Hand Shower Nozzle Cleaning
The hand shower features soft-clean nozzles. To remove mineral buildup, gently rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft brush while water is flowing. For stubborn deposits, a solution of white vinegar and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
