5. Installation Instructions
The Grifema G4008B faucet is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps carefully:
- Preparation: Ensure your sink has a single mounting hole (Ø 33-38mm) and the maximum countertop thickness is 53mm. Turn off the main water supply before starting.
- Mounting the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided rubber gasket, metal washer, and mounting nut. Tighten the nut firmly to prevent movement.
- Connecting Water Hoses: Connect the flexible hot and cold water hoses to the corresponding outlets on the faucet body. The hoses are typically color-coded (red for hot, blue for cold).
- Connecting to Water Supply: Attach the other ends of the flexible hoses to your hot and cold water supply lines. The faucet includes 1/2" and 3/8" adapters for compatibility. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Testing: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet handle to ensure proper hot and cold water flow and temperature control.
For visual guidance, refer to the installation illustrations provided with your product packaging.
6. Operation
Operating your Grifema G4008B faucet is straightforward:
- Water Flow Control: Lift the single lever handle to increase water flow. Push it down to decrease or stop the flow.
- Temperature Control: Move the lever to the right for cold water and to the left for hot water. The cold-start system ensures that when the lever is in the central position, only cold water flows, saving energy.
- Spout Rotation: The faucet spout can be rotated 360 degrees to direct water to different areas of your sink or to move it out of the way when not in use.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Grifema G4008B faucet:
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the matte black finish with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Cleaning: If water flow becomes restricted or uneven, the aerator may need cleaning. The aerator head is removable for easy access. Unscrew or gently pull off the aerator, rinse any debris, and reattach.
- Leak Checks: Periodically check under the sink for any signs of leaks around the connections. Tighten connections if necessary.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your faucet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- Low Water Flow:
- Check if the main water supply is fully open.
- Clean the aerator for any mineral buildup or debris.
- Inspect the flexible hoses for kinks or blockages.
- Leaks from Faucet Base:
- Ensure the mounting nut under the sink is securely tightened.
- Check the rubber gasket for proper seating and damage.
- Leaks from Hose Connections:
- Tighten the connections of the flexible hoses to the faucet and water supply lines.
- Ensure rubber washers are correctly seated within the hose connections.
- Dripping Faucet:
- A dripping faucet usually indicates an issue with the ceramic cartridge. While the cartridge is designed for long-term, drip-free performance, if dripping occurs, contact customer support for assistance.
