Setup and Installation

This faucet is designed for tool-free mounting thanks to its shaft fastening system, making installation straightforward.

Before You Begin:

1. Turn off the main water supply to your kitchen.
2. Clear the area under your sink for easy access.
3. Ensure all parts listed in "What's in the Box" are present.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Sink Hole: Ensure your sink has a standard single-hole opening for faucet installation.
2. Insert Faucet: Place the faucet body into the sink hole. Ensure the base gasket is correctly positioned.
3. Secure Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the mounting washer and nut onto the threaded shaft of the faucet. Hand-tighten the nut firmly. The tool-free shaft fastening allows for easy tightening.
4. Connect Water Hoses: Connect the flexible hot and cold water supply hoses from the faucet to your corresponding water supply lines. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
5. Install Pull-out Hose Weight: Attach the provided weight to the pull-out spray hose underneath the sink. This ensures the hose retracts smoothly.
6. Check for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are present, tighten the connections further.
7. Test Operation: Operate the faucet to ensure proper water flow and temperature control. Extend and retract the pull-out spray hose to confirm smooth operation.

Operating Instructions

The Cornat Kirna faucet is designed for intuitive and comfortable use.

Water Flow and Temperature Control:

• Turn On/Off: Lift the single lever handle upwards to turn on the water. Push it downwards to turn off the water.
• Adjust Water Volume: The further you lift the lever, the higher the water volume.
• Adjust Water Temperature: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The ceramic cartridge ensures precise temperature adjustment.

Using the Pull-out Spray Hose:

• Grasp the spray head and pull it gently downwards to extend the hose.
• The extended hose provides an increased working radius, ideal for filling tall pots or thoroughly washing fruits and vegetables.
• Once finished, gently guide the spray head back into the spout. The hose weight will assist in smooth retraction.

360° Swivel Spout:

• The spout can be swiveled 360 degrees, allowing you to direct the water flow precisely where needed in your sink.

Care and Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Cornat Kirna faucet.

• Cleaning the Surface: Clean the chrome surface regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaners containing alcohol, ammonia, bleach, or phosphoric acid, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes weak or uneven, the aerator (at the tip of the spout) may be clogged with mineral deposits. Unscrew the aerator, clean it under running water, and remove any debris. Reattach it securely.
• Ceramic Cartridge: The faucet features a durable ceramic cartridge designed for long-lasting, drip-free performance. No regular maintenance is required for the cartridge itself.
