Setup and Installation
The GRIFEMA G1002 faucet is designed for deck mounting and requires a single hole for installation. Ensure all necessary components are present before beginning installation.
Included Components:
- 1 x Basin Faucet
- Mounting hardware (gaskets, nuts, washers)
- Flexible connection hoses
Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Turn off the main water supply. Clear the area under the sink and ensure the mounting surface is clean and dry.
- Mounting the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the single hole in the basin or countertop. From underneath, secure the faucet using the provided rubber gasket, metal washer, and mounting nut. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
- Connecting Water Lines: Attach the flexible hot and cold water supply hoses to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure all connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn to prevent leaks.
- Testing: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper hot and cold water flow and temperature control.
Operating Instructions
The GRIFEMA G1002 features a single-lever design for easy control of water flow and temperature.
- Water Flow: Lift the lever upwards to increase water flow. Push the lever downwards to decrease or shut off water flow.
- Temperature Control: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. Adjust the lever position between left and right to achieve the desired water temperature.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the polished silver finish and ensure optimal performance of your faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive liquid cleaner. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or alcohol, as these can damage the polished brass finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases or becomes irregular, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the faucet spout, clean any debris or mineral deposits, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
- Leak Checks: Periodically check under the sink for any signs of leaks around the connections. Tighten connections if necessary.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your GRIFEMA G1002 faucet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Clogged aerator or partially closed supply valves. | Clean the aerator. Ensure water supply valves are fully open. |
| Leaking from faucet base | Loose mounting nut or damaged gasket. | Tighten the mounting nut. Inspect and replace gaskets if damaged. |
