Installation Steps
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the mounting hole on your sink or countertop is approximately 35mm in diameter. Clean the area around the hole.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided washer and mounting nut.
- Connect Water Hoses: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. The hoses are typically marked (red for hot, blue for cold). Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Install the Counterweight: Attach the counterweight to the pull-out hose beneath the sink. This ensures the spray head retracts smoothly.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check all connections for any leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper function.

Operating Instructions
Your Ibergrif M22136B faucet offers practical features for daily kitchen tasks.
Water Flow and Temperature Control
- Single-Lever Operation: The single lever controls both water flow and temperature. Lift the lever to increase flow and move it left for hot water, 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.

Dual-Function Pull-Out Spray Head
- Switching Modes: The pull-out spray head features two versatile flow modes: a continuous stream for filling and a powerful spray for rinsing. Press the button on the spray head to switch between these modes.
- Pause Function: A pause button allows you to temporarily stop the water flow, conserving water while moving the spray head.
- 360° Swivel Spout: The faucet spout rotates 360 degrees, providing full sink coverage and flexibility for various tasks.
- Retraction: After use, the spray head retracts automatically back into the spout thanks to the counterweight.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Ibergrif M22136B faucet. The stainless steel construction is designed for durability and resistance to corrosion.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or chemicals that can damage the finish.
- Limescale Removal: The easy-clean rubber nozzles on the spray head allow for simple limescale removal. Gently rub the nozzles with your finger to dislodge any mineral buildup.
- Check Connections: Periodically check all water connections under the sink for any signs of leaks or corrosion.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your faucet, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator is clogged with debris or limescale. Clean the aerator or replace it if necessary. Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
- Leaks from Connections: Tighten any loose connections. If leaks persist, check the condition of washers and O-rings and replace them if worn.
- Spray Head Not Retracting: Ensure the counterweight on the pull-out hose is positioned correctly and not obstructed by pipes or other items under the sink.
- Temperature Control Issues: Verify that both hot and cold water supply lines are connected correctly and that the water heaters are functioning.
If problems persist after attempting these steps, please contact customer support.
