Safety Information

• Always turn off the main water supply before beginning any installation or maintenance.
• Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as safety glasses and gloves, during installation.
• Ensure all connections are secure and leak-free before restoring water supply.
• If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, consult a qualified plumber.

Setup and Installation

The Franke Atlas NEO faucet is designed for single-hole deck mount installation. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Clear the sink area and ensure the mounting hole is clean and free of debris.
2. Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
3. Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your home's water supply. Use appropriate wrenches and ensure all connections are watertight.
4. Install the Pull-Out Hose: Feed the pull-out hose through the faucet body and connect it to the spray head. Attach the counterweight to the hose at the recommended position to ensure smooth retraction.
5. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any signs of leaks. Run water through the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris.

• Regular Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or acids, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.
