Installation Steps
- Prepare the Sink Hole: Ensure your sink has a single mounting hole with a diameter of approximately 35mm.
- Insert the Faucet: Place the faucet body into the sink hole. Ensure the base gasket is correctly positioned between the faucet and the sink surface.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and then the mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Tighten the mounting nut securely using the provided tool or an adjustable wrench.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply hoses to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body (typically marked H for hot and C for cold). Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to prevent leaks.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any signs of leakage. If leaks are detected, tighten the connections further.

Operating Instructions
Water Flow and Temperature Control
The Ibergrif M22119-2 faucet features a single lever for controlling both water flow and temperature:
- Water Flow: Lift the lever upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to decrease or shut off the flow.
- Temperature Control: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. Adjust the position between left and right to achieve your desired water temperature.
Flexible Spout Operation
The flexible spout can be rotated 360 degrees and adjusted to various angles for convenience during kitchen tasks. Simply grasp the spout and position it as needed. The flexible design allows for easy cleaning of large sinks or filling tall pots.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet
To maintain the finish of your Ibergrif faucet, clean it regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the surface finish.
Aerator Maintenance
Over time, mineral deposits can accumulate in the aerator, reducing water flow. To clean the aerator:
- Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout.
- Rinse any debris or mineral deposits under running water.
- For stubborn deposits, soak the aerator in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water for a few hours.
- Rinse thoroughly and reattach the aerator to the spout.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator or mineral buildup. | Clean the aerator as described in the Maintenance section. Check water supply valves are fully open. |
| Leaking from Spout | Aerator not tightened correctly or damaged. | Ensure aerator is securely tightened. If leaking persists, the ceramic disc cartridge may need inspection by a professional. |
| Leaking from Base | Loose mounting nut or improper seal. | Tighten the mounting nut underneath the sink. Ensure gaskets are correctly seated. |
| Inconsistent Water Temperature | Issues with hot or cold water supply. | Check that both hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. Ensure your water heater is functioning correctly. |
