- Maneuverability: The sprayhead utilizes Reach Technology with an easy-retract hose and 360° swivel adapter, allowing you to reach all areas of your kitchen sink. The independent docking arm prevents interference with the sprayhead.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Kraus Bolden KFF-1610SFACB faucet, please consult the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Low Water Flow: Check if the main water supply is fully open. Inspect the aerator for mineral buildup and clean if necessary. Ensure your filtration system (if installed) is not clogged or due for a filter change.
- Leaks: Verify all connections are tight. Check O-rings and gaskets for proper seating and damage. If leaks persist, professional assistance may be required.
- Difficulty Switching Spray Modes: Ensure the sprayhead button is not obstructed. Clean any mineral buildup from the sprayhead nozzles.
- Filtered Water Not Dispensing: Confirm the handle is pulled straight down. Check the connection to your under-counter filtration system and ensure the system itself is functioning correctly.
