5. Installation (Setup)
This section outlines the general steps for installing your Rohl kitchen faucet. Specific details may vary; refer to the included diagrams for precise component identification.
5.1 Before You Begin
- Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink.
- Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
- Ensure the sink or countertop has a single mounting hole of the appropriate size.
5.2 Faucet Installation Steps
- Prepare the Faucet: If not pre-attached, connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the faucet base. Ensure connections are hand-tight, then gently tighten with a wrench.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the mounting hole in the sink or countertop.
- Secure Under Sink: From underneath the sink, place the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Tighten the mounting nut securely to hold the faucet firmly in place.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to the corresponding hot and cold water supply valves. Use a wrench to tighten connections, but do not overtighten.
- Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, gently tighten the connections until they stop.
- Flush the Faucet: Remove the aerator from the faucet spout. Turn on the hot and cold water to full flow for approximately one minute to flush out any debris from the lines. Turn off the water, reattach the aerator.

7. Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Rohl faucet.
7.1 Cleaning the Finish
