4. Product Features

• Foldable Design: The faucet can be folded vertically, allowing for convenient installation under windows. This feature enables the window to open freely without obstruction from the faucet.
• 360° Rotatable Spout: The high-rise spout offers 360-degree rotation, providing flexibility and convenience for single or double basin sinks.
• Cold Start System: Unlike traditional faucets, this model incorporates a cold start system. When the handle is in the central position, only cold water flows, helping to save energy by preventing the unnecessary activation of the water heater. Hot water is accessed by moving the handle to the left.
• Ceramic Valve Core: Equipped with a high-quality ceramic valve core for smooth operation, extended durability, and leak-free performance.
• Modern Chrome Finish: Features an elegant chrome finish that complements contemporary kitchen designs.

6. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Ibergrif M22139 Kitchen Faucet:

1. Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink hole is clean and free of debris. The faucet requires a single mounting hole.
2. Insert Faucet: Place the faucet body through the mounting hole from above the sink.
3. Secure Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber gasket, metal washer, and then the mounting nut onto the threaded shank. Tighten the mounting nut securely using the provided tool or an adjustable wrench.
4. Connect Water Lines: Attach the hot (red indicator) and cold (blue indicator) water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet and to your home's hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
5. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any signs of leakage.

7. Operating Instructions

The Ibergrif M22139 faucet is designed for ease of use and efficiency.

• Water Flow and Temperature Control: The single handle controls both water flow and temperature.
  • To turn on the water, lift the handle.
  • To increase flow, lift the handle further.
  • For cold water, keep the handle in the central or right position.
  • For hot water, move the handle to the left.
• Spout Rotation: The faucet spout can be rotated 360 degrees to direct water flow as needed for various tasks in the sink.
• Folding Function: To fold the faucet, gently push the spout downwards. This allows the faucet to sit flush with the sink surface, enabling windows above the sink to open freely. To return to the upright position, simply lift the spout.

8. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and appearance of your faucet.

• Cleaning the Surface: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemicals containing ammonia, bleach, or alcohol, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Cleaning the Aerator: If water flow becomes restricted or uneven, the aerator may be clogged with sediment.
  1. Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout.
  2. Rinse the aerator screen under running water to remove any debris.
  3. If necessary, use a soft brush to clean stubborn deposits.
  4. Reattach the aerator securely.
