- Flashlight

Installation Procedure:
Image: Visual guide for the installation process, showing key steps from mounting to hose connection.
- Step 1: Mount the Faucet
Insert the faucet body into the single mounting hole on your sink or countertop. Ensure the rubber gasket is properly seated between the faucet base and the sink surface to prevent leaks. The mounting hole diameter should be approximately 35mm.
- Step 2: Secure the Faucet
From underneath the sink, slide the metal washer and mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Tighten the nut securely using a basin wrench or adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
- Step 3: Connect the Sprayer Hose
Connect the pull-out sprayer hose to the designated connection point on the faucet's underside. Ensure a tight seal. The image shows connecting the pull-out hose to the main faucet body.
- Step 4: Install the Counterweight
Attach the counterweight to the pull-out sprayer hose. Position it approximately 6-8 inches below the connection point to ensure the sprayer retracts smoothly. The image shows the counterweight being clipped onto the hose.
- Step 5: Connect Water Supply Lines
Connect the hot (H) and cold (C) water supply lines from the faucet to your home's hot and cold water valves. Ensure the connections are tight. The image illustrates the hot and cold water lines, along with the pull-out hose, ready for connection.
After installation, slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks. Run the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris.
Operating Instructions
Water Flow and Temperature Control:
- On/Off and Flow: Lift the single lever handle to turn on the water and control the flow rate.
- Temperature: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water.
- Cold Start Feature: The faucet is designed with a cold start function. When the lever is in the central position, only cold water flows, saving energy by preventing the water heater from activating unnecessarily. Hot water is accessed by moving the lever to the left.

Sprayer Functions:
- Pull-Out Sprayer: Grasp the sprayer head and pull it out from the spout. The flexible hose allows for extended reach.
- Dual-Function Spray Head: Press the button on the sprayer head to switch between two spray modes:
- Stream Mode: For everyday cleaning and filling pots.
- Spray Mode: A powerful spray for heavy-duty rinsing.
- Retraction: After use, the counterweight on the hose will help retract the sprayer head back into the spout.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet Finish:
- Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water.
- Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish. The chrome finish is designed to resist water spots and fingerprints.
Cleaning the Sprayer Nozzles:
- Over time, mineral deposits (limescale) may accumulate on the rubber nozzles of the spray head.
- To clean, simply rub your finger across the rubber nozzles to dislodge any deposits. This helps maintain a consistent water flow.
