Required Tools (Not Included):

• Adjustable wrench
• Phillips screwdriver
• Plumber's putty or silicone sealant
• Flashlight

Installation Steps:

1. Turn off Water Supply: Locate the main water shut-off valves (hot and cold) under the sink and turn them off completely.
2. Remove Old Faucet (if applicable): Disconnect the water supply lines from the old faucet and remove any mounting hardware. Lift the old faucet from the sink.
3. Prepare Mounting Surface: Clean the sink or countertop surface where the new faucet will be installed. If using the deck plate, apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant to the underside of the deck plate.
4. Install Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the hole(s) in the sink or deck plate. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided washer and mounting nut. Tighten securely with an adjustable wrench.
5. Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to the corresponding shut-off valves. Ensure connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a quarter-turn more. Do not overtighten.
6. Install Weight on Hose: Attach the hose weight to the pull-down hose at the marked location (typically 6-8 inches from the spray head connection) to ensure proper retraction.
7. Flush Faucet: With the faucet handle in the off position, slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves. Check for leaks. Remove the spray head and turn on the faucet to flush out any debris from the lines for approximately one minute. Turn off the faucet, reattach the spray head, and check for leaks again.

Operating Instructions

Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your Moen faucet.

• Cleaning the Finish:
  • Clean the Spot Resist Stainless finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
  • Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
  • Wipe dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Cleaning the Spray Head:
  • Mineral deposits can accumulate on the spray nozzles over time. Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any buildup.
• Aerator Maintenance:
