Setup & Installation
The KRAUS Oletto faucet is designed for single-hole installation and comes installation-ready with pre-attached nylon water lines, a QuickWeight counterweight, and mounting hardware. Four AA batteries are also included for immediate use of the touch functionality.
Battery Installation
The touch-activated feature requires four AA batteries. These are included and should be installed in the battery box located under the sink. An LED indicator light on the faucet base will glow white when touch mode is active and water is on. It will flash red to indicate low battery levels.

Water Line Connection
Ensure all water lines are securely connected to the hot and cold water supplies. The pre-attached nylon water lines simplify this process. Refer to the detailed installation guide provided in the product packaging for specific plumbing connections.
Operating Instructions
Touch Activation (TapFlow Technology)
To activate the water flow, simply touch any part of the faucet body or spout. Touch again to stop the water flow. The system is designed to differentiate between a touch and a grab, minimizing accidental activations. The LED indicator light will glow white when the water is flowing via touch mode.

Manual Mode
The faucet can be operated manually using the single lever handle at any time. This is particularly useful if the batteries are low or if you prefer traditional operation. The handle operates with 90 degrees forward rotation, allowing for installation in tight spaces with no backsplash clearance.
Sprayhead Functionality
The pull-down sprayhead offers two functions: an aerated stream for general use and a powerful spray for heavy-duty rinsing. Press the button on the sprayhead to switch between these modes. The sprayhead features Perfect Glide docking for smooth retraction and secure alignment.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet
The Spot Free Stainless Steel finish is designed to resist water spots and fingerprints. To clean, simply wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.

Troubleshooting
- No Water Flow in Touch Mode: Check if the batteries are properly installed and charged. The LED indicator will flash red if batteries are low. Replace batteries if necessary. Ensure the manual handle is in the 'on' position for touch mode to function.
- Inconsistent Touch Response: Ensure the faucet surface is clean and dry. Excessive mineral buildup or residue can interfere with touch sensitivity.
- Reduced Water Pressure: Check for mineral buildup in the sprayhead nozzles and clean them as described in the Maintenance section. Verify that water supply valves are fully open.
- Leaking: Inspect all connections for tightness. If leaking persists, the ceramic cartridge may need inspection or replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.
