Pre-Installation Checklist:

• Ensure all components are present: Faucet body, pull-down sprayer, deck plate (if needed), mounting hardware, hot and cold water supply lines.

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Sink: If installing on a 3-hole sink, place the included deck plate over the holes. For a single-hole sink, the deck plate is optional.
2. Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the hole(s) in the sink/deck plate. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware (washer, rubber ring, metal base, and nut).
3. Connect Water Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to your existing water supply valves. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
4. Connect Sprayer Hose: Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting on the faucet's underside. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
5. Install Weight: Attach the counterweight to the pull-down hose underneath the sink. This ensures the sprayer retracts properly.
6. Test: Turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper function of both stream and spray modes.

3. Operating Instructions

The FORIOUS kitchen faucet offers intuitive operation for daily tasks.

Water Flow and Temperature Control:

• The single handle controls both water flow and temperature.

• Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.

Pull-Down Sprayer Functions:

• The sprayer head can be pulled down from the spout for extended reach (up to 26 inches).

• Stream Mode: Provides a steady, aerated flow for filling pots and general washing.
• Spray Mode: Delivers a powerful spray for rinsing dishes and cleaning the sink.
• The sprayer head retracts smoothly back into the spout when released, thanks to the counterweight.

4. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your FORIOUS faucet.

Cleaning the Faucet:

• Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• For the sprayer nozzles, simply wipe them with a finger to remove mineral buildup and maintain a strong, consistent flow.

Ceramic Cartridge:

The faucet is equipped with a high-quality ceramic disc cartridge designed for drip-free performance and tested for over 5 million uses. No regular maintenance is typically required for the cartridge itself.

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your faucet, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator on the sprayer head for mineral buildup and clean if necessary.
• Leaks: Ensure all connections are tight. Check the O-rings and washers for proper seating and damage. If leaks persist from the handle, the ceramic cartridge may need inspection or replacement.
• Sprayer Not Retracting: Verify that the counterweight on the hose underneath the sink is properly positioned and not obstructed.
• Water Temperature Issues: Ensure hot and cold water supply lines are connected correctly.
