Installation Instructions
Follow these steps for proper installation of your kitchen faucet:
- Prepare the Sink Hole: Ensure your sink has a single hole with a diameter of approximately 35mm (1.38 inches) for faucet mounting.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet base into the sink hole. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided washer and mounting nut. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- Connect the Pull-Out Hose: Connect the pull-out spray hose to the designated connection point on the faucet body underneath the sink. Ensure a secure, leak-free connection.
- Install the Weight: Attach the counterweight to the pull-out spray hose. This weight helps the spray head retract smoothly. Position it according to the desired hose length.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot (marked 'H' or red) and cold (marked 'C' or blue) flexible hoses to your corresponding hot and cold water supply valves. Use appropriate wrenches and ensure all connections are watertight.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper water flow and temperature control.

Operating Instructions
Your Ibergrif M22135 faucet is designed for ease of use with several convenient features:
- Single-Lever Control: The single lever controls both water flow and temperature. Move the lever up to increase flow and down to decrease. Move it left for hot water and right for cold water.
- Cold Start Feature: The faucet incorporates a "Cold Start" system. When the lever is in the central position, only cold water flows, helping to save energy. Hot water flows only when the lever is moved to the left.
- Pull-Out Spray Head: The spray head can be pulled out from the spout for extended reach and flexibility, making it ideal for rinsing dishes or cleaning the sink. It retracts smoothly back into place thanks to the counterweight.
- Dual-Function Sprayer: The spray head offers two distinct water modes:
- Stream Mode: Provides a steady, aerated flow for everyday tasks.
- Spray Mode: Delivers a powerful spray for heavy-duty rinsing.
- 360° Swivel Spout: The faucet spout can swivel 360 degrees, providing full range of motion and flexibility for various kitchen tasks.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and function of your faucet:
- Cleaning the Finish: The brushed nickel finish is designed to resist water spots and fingerprints. Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spotting.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or any products containing bleach or acids, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: The easy-clean rubber nozzles on the spray head allow you to easily wipe away any mineral build-up with your finger, ensuring a consistent water flow. For more stubborn deposits, unscrew the aerator and soak it in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water.
Troubleshooting Guide
Refer to this section for common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed shut-off valves; low water pressure in the household. | Clean the aerator nozzles (see Maintenance section). Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Check household water pressure. |
| Leaks from Faucet Base | Loose mounting nut; damaged O-rings at the base. | Tighten the mounting nut underneath the sink. If leaks persist, inspect and replace O-rings if necessary. |
| Leaks from Pull-Out Hose Connection | Loose connection; damaged O-rings or seals in the quick connector. | Ensure the pull-out hose connection is securely tightened. Inspect the O-rings and seals within the quick connector and replace if damaged. |
| Water Temperature Issues | Incorrect hot/cold supply connections; water heater issues. | Verify hot and cold supply lines are connected correctly. Check your water heater settings. |
| Spray Head Does Not Retract Fully | Counterweight improperly positioned or obstructed; hose friction. | Adjust the position of the counterweight on the pull-out hose. Ensure the hose path is clear and free of obstructions. |
