Installation Instructions
Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary tools and components. Turn off the main water supply before proceeding.
Components Checklist:
- Faucet body with pull-down sprayer
- Deck plate (for 3-hole installation)
- Mounting nut and washer
- Hot and cold water supply lines (pre-attached)
- Gravity ball weight
- User Manual (this document)
Step-by-Step Installation:
- Prepare the Sink Hole: If installing on a 3-hole sink, place the deck plate over the holes. For a 1-hole sink, the deck plate is optional. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and dry.
- Insert Faucet: Feed the faucet's supply lines and sprayer hose through the sink hole (and deck plate, if used). Position the faucet body securely on the sink or deck plate.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer and metal washer onto the threaded shank. Hand-tighten the mounting nut. Ensure the faucet is aligned correctly before fully tightening the nut with a basin wrench or appropriate tool.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your home's hot and cold water valves. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Install Gravity Ball: Attach the gravity ball weight to the pull-down sprayer hose underneath the sink. Position it approximately 6-8 inches from the end of the hose to ensure proper retraction of the sprayer head.
- Test for Leaks: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks around the connections. Operate the faucet to ensure proper water flow and sprayer function.

Operating Instructions
Single Handle Operation:
The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Lift the handle to turn on the water and adjust the flow rate. Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
Figure 5: The single handle allows for precise control of water temperature and flow. Hot and cold indicators are present.
Pull-Down Sprayer with 3 Modes:
The faucet features a pull-down sprayer with an extended 20-inch reach and 360-degree swivel capability for enhanced flexibility. The sprayer head offers three distinct water modes:
- Stream Mode: Provides a steady, aerated flow for filling pots and general washing.
- Spray Mode: Delivers a powerful, wide spray for rinsing dishes and cleaning the sink.
- Pause Mode: Temporarily stops water flow from the sprayer head, useful for avoiding splashes when moving the sprayer between tasks or outside the sink.
Switch between modes using the buttons located on the sprayer head. The gravity ball ensures smooth retraction and secure docking of the sprayer after use.
Figure 6: The sprayer head offers Stream, Spray, and Pause modes, selectable via buttons.
Figure 7: The pull-down sprayer extends up to 20 inches, features 360-degree rotation, and automatically docks back into place.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Arofa kitchen faucet.
Cleaning the Faucet:
- Use a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome finishes.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Cleaning the Sprayer Nozzle:
The sprayer nozzle features soft rubber holes that allow for easy removal of mineral build-up. Simply rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any deposits and maintain a consistent spray pattern.
Figure 8: The soft rubber nozzles on the sprayer head can be easily cleaned by hand to remove mineral deposits.
Internal Components:
The faucet is equipped with a high-quality ceramic cartridge, tested for 500,000 cycles to ensure leak-proof performance. The PEX hose is designed for high temperature and pressure resistance. These components generally require no user maintenance.
