Maintenance
- Cleaning: To maintain the finish, clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Nozzle Cleaning: The sprayhead features easy-clean rubber nozzles that resist hard water and mineral build-up. Simply wipe them with a finger to ensure a lasting powerful flow.
- Cartridge: The ceramic cartridge is tested to over 500,000 cycles, ensuring leak-proof performance. If a leak occurs, inspect the cartridge for wear or damage.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your FORIOUS kitchen faucet, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator for mineral buildup and clean if necessary.
- Leaks: Ensure all connections are tight. If leaks persist from the handle or spout, the ceramic cartridge may need inspection or replacement.
- Sprayer Not Retracting: Check the weight on the sprayer hose under the sink. Ensure it is positioned correctly and not obstructed.
- Water Temperature Issues: Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are connected correctly.
