Step-by-Step Installation Overview:

1. Prepare the Installation Area: Turn off the water supply. Clear the area under the sink.
2. Install End Valves: Attach the supply lines to the end valves. Ensure the hot and cold sides are correctly identified (hot on the left, cold on the right). Apply silicone sealant if your countertop is irregular.
3. Mount End Valves: Insert the end valves into the outer holes of the countertop. Secure them from underneath using the provided mounting hardware. Hand-tighten first, then snug with a Phillips head screwdriver, being careful not to overtighten.
4. Install Handles: Place the handles over the end valves. Ensure they rotate freely and are aligned correctly in the full off position. Tighten the set screws on the handles using the appropriate hex wrench.
5. Install Spout: Apply a plastic gasket to the base of the spout. Insert the spout into the center hole of the countertop. Secure it from underneath with the mounting bracket and nut, ensuring the spout tube and lift rod have clearance.
6. Connect Spout Tubes and Supply Lines: Use the provided spout connector adapter to connect the spout tube to the hot and cold supply lines. Ensure all connections are secure and leak-proof.
7. Install Drain Assembly: Disassemble the drain assembly, apply silicone sealant to the flange, and insert it into the sink drain hole. Reassemble and tighten the drain body from underneath, ensuring the pivot hole faces the rear.
8. Install Pivot Rod and Stopper: Insert the pivot rod into the drain assembly's pivot hole, securing it with the plastic gasket and nut. Connect the lift rod to the pivot rod using the included strap, ensuring smooth operation of the stopper.
9. Flush Supply Lines: Before reinstalling the aerator, turn on the hot and cold water supplies one at a time and let water run through the system for about 30 seconds to clear any debris.
10. Reinstall Aerator: Gently screw the aerator back into the spout. Use the aerator wrench to snug it into place, but do not overtighten.

6. Operating Instructions

The Moen Genta faucet features two handles for precise control over water flow and temperature.

• Water Flow: Turn the handles forward to increase water flow and backward to decrease it.
• Temperature Control: The left handle controls hot water, and the right handle controls cold water. Adjust both handles to achieve your desired water temperature.
• Pop-Up Drain: Use the lift rod located behind the faucet spout to open and close the pop-up drain.

7. Maintenance

To maintain the Spot Resist Brushed Nickel finish and ensure the longevity of your Moen Genta faucet, follow these cleaning guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Clean regularly with a soft cloth and warm, soapy water.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Spot Resist Finish: The Spot Resist Brushed Nickel finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots, making cleaning easier.
• Aerator Cleaning: Periodically remove and clean the aerator to remove mineral deposits and maintain optimal water flow.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your faucet, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator is clogged with debris. Clean or replace if necessary. Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
• Leaks: Check all connections for tightness. Ensure O-rings and gaskets are properly seated. If leaks persist from the handles, the valve cartridges may need inspection or replacement.
• Dripping Faucet: A dripping faucet often indicates a worn-out valve cartridge. Replace the cartridge if necessary.
• Stiff Handles: Lubricate the valve stems or replace the cartridges if handles are difficult to turn.
