1. Step 1: Prepare the Faucet Base. Insert the faucet body through the mounting hole on your sink or countertop. Ensure the base gasket is correctly positioned. The mounting hole diameter should be approximately 35mm.
2. Step 2: Secure the Faucet. From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank. Tighten the mounting nut securely to hold the faucet in place.
3. Step 3: Connect Water Supply Lines. Attach the hot (H) and cold (C) water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Ensure connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
4. Step 4: Connect to Main Water Supply. Connect the hot and cold supply lines to your home's hot and cold water valves. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.

After installation, slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks. Run both hot and cold water through the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris.

5. Operating Instructions

Your Ibergrif M22142-3 faucet is designed for intuitive use.

• Water Flow Control: Use the two handles to control the water flow. Turn the handle counter-clockwise to increase flow and clockwise to decrease flow.
• Temperature Control: The left handle typically controls hot water, and the right handle controls cold water. Adjust both handles simultaneously to achieve your desired water temperature.
• Flexible Spout: The main spout can be pulled out from its housing for extended reach. Direct the spray as needed for rinsing dishes or cleaning the sink. After use, gently guide the spout back into its housing.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.

• Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted or uneven, the aerator may be clogged with mineral deposits. Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout, clean it with a brush under running water, and reassemble.
• Leak Prevention: The faucet is equipped with a ceramic disc cartridge designed to prevent leaks. If a leak occurs from the handles, it may indicate wear on the cartridge, which might require replacement.
