Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your APPASO Kitchen Faucet. For visual guidance, refer to the installation video below.
- Prepare the Sink Area: Clear the area around the faucet hole(s) on your sink or countertop. Ensure the mounting hole size is 1-1/4" to 1-2/5" (3.2-3.5cm) and the maximum countertop thickness is 1-3/5" (4cm).
- Turn Off Water Supply: Locate and turn off the hot and cold water supply valves under your sink. Open the existing faucet to relieve any pressure in the lines.
- Remove Old Faucet: Disconnect the hot and cold water lines from the old faucet. Unscrew any mounting nuts or clamps holding the old faucet in place and remove it.
- Install Deck Plate (Optional): If your sink has multiple holes and you prefer a single-hole installation, place the deck plate over the holes.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the main hole in the sink or deck plate. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided mounting accessories (gasket, washer, and mounting nut). Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your home's hot and cold water supply valves. Use the included 1/2" adapter if necessary. Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
- Install Weight: Attach the weight to the pull-down hose beneath the sink. This ensures the sprayer head retracts smoothly.
- Install Soap Dispenser: Insert the soap dispenser into its designated hole (if applicable) and secure it from underneath the sink.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves. Check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper function.

Operating Instructions
Your APPASO Kitchen Faucet is designed for ease of use and versatility.
- Handle Operation: The single handle controls both water temperature and flow. Move the handle left for hot water, right for cold water, and up/down to adjust flow intensity.
- Pull-Down Sprayer: Gently pull down the sprayer head from the spout. The flexible PEX hose extends up to 20 inches, providing ample reach for various tasks.
- 3-Setting Modes: The sprayer head features three distinct modes:
STREAM: For filling pots and general use.
SPRAY: For powerful cleaning and rinsing.
PAUSE: Temporarily stops water flow to prevent splashing while moving the sprayer. - Automatic Retraction: Thanks to counterweight technology, the sprayer head automatically retracts smoothly back into the spout when released.
- 360° Swivel: The faucet spout can swivel 360 degrees, making it suitable for both single and double bowl kitchen sinks.
