This section provides general guidance for installing your new kitchen faucet. For detailed, step-by-step instructions, please refer to the separate installation guide included with your product or consult the official DELTA website.
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink area is clean and dry. If replacing an old faucet, remove it and clean any residue.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the designated hole(s) on your sink or countertop. Secure it from underneath using the provided mounting hardware.
- Connect Water Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Ensure connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a quarter turn. Do not overtighten.
- Install Soap Dispenser: If included, install the soap dispenser into its designated hole and secure it. Fill with liquid soap.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections as necessary.
5. Operating Instructions
Your DELTA Ashton faucet is designed for ease of use with its single-handle operation and versatile pull-down sprayer.
5.1. Water Flow and Temperature Control
The single handle controls both water flow and temperature:
- To turn the water on, lift the handle upwards.
- To increase water flow, lift the handle further.
- To adjust temperature, move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
- To turn the water off, push the handle downwards.
5.2. Pull-Down Sprayer Operation
The pull-down sprayer offers enhanced functionality:
- Extend the Sprayer: Gently pull the spray wand down from the spout. The flexible hose allows for extended reach within and around the sink.
- Switch Spray Modes: Use the buttons on the spray wand to toggle between different water patterns (e.g., stream, spray, ShieldSpray).
- Retract the Sprayer: When finished, guide the spray wand back into the spout. The Magnatite Docking system will securely hold it in place.
6. Maintenance
6.1. Cleaning the Faucet
To maintain the finish and performance of your faucet:
- Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- For the Touch-Clean spray holes, simply wipe away mineral residue with your finger.
6.2. Soap Dispenser Refill
To refill the integrated soap dispenser, lift the pump head and pour liquid soap directly into the reservoir from above the counter.
7. Troubleshooting
