Setup (Installation)

Follow these steps for proper installation of your widespread bathroom faucet:

1. Prepare the Installation Area:
   • Turn off the main water supply to the bathroom.
   • Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
   • Ensure your sink has three pre-drilled holes with a diameter between 1.25 inches (min) and 1.85 inches (max), and a widespread spacing of 8 to 16 inches between the centers of the outer holes.

2. Install Faucet Components:
   • Insert the faucet spout and two handles into their respective holes on the sink deck.
   • From underneath the sink, secure each component with the provided washers and mounting nuts. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to snug them, ensuring the components are aligned correctly on the top.

3. Connect Water Supply Lines:
   • Connect the hot and cold water supply hoses (3/8-inch) to the corresponding inlets on the faucet handles. Ensure the hot water line connects to the hot handle and the cold water line to the cold handle.
   • Connect the other ends of the supply hoses to your angle stops (water shut-off valves).
   • Ensure all connections are tight but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the threads.
4. Install Pop-up Drain:
   • Apply plumber's putty or silicone sealant around the flange of the pop-up drain and insert it into the drain hole of the sink.
   • From underneath, secure the drain body with the rubber washer, friction washer, and mounting nut.
   • Connect the drain linkage to the pull rod on the faucet (if applicable, this model includes a pop-up drain).
5. Test for Leaks:
   • Slowly turn on the main water supply.
   • Check all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections slightly until the leak stops.
   • Run both hot and cold water through the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris.

Operating Instructions

Your GGStudy widespread faucet features two handles for precise control over water temperature and flow.

• Cold Water: Turn the right handle counter-clockwise to activate cold water.
• Hot Water: Turn the left handle counter-clockwise to activate hot water.
• Temperature Control: Adjust the hot and cold handles simultaneously to achieve your desired water temperature. The two-handle design allows for fine-tuning.
• Flow Control: The further you turn the handles, the greater the water flow.

Maintenance

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

• Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, ammonia-based products, or scouring pads, as these can damage the polished gold finish and void any potential warranty.
• Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator at the end of the spout may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator, clean any debris, and reattach it.
• Ceramic Cartridge: The faucet is equipped with a durable ceramic cartridge designed for 600,000 open/close cycles, requiring minimal maintenance.
