Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your kitchen faucet:

- Mount the Faucet:

Place the faucet body through the mounting hole. From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the rubber gasket, metal washer, and mounting nut. Tighten the nut firmly but do not overtighten. - Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Connect the other ends of the supply lines to your hot and cold water shut-off valves. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
- Install Pull-Out Hose and Counterweight: Feed the pull-out spray hose through the faucet body. Attach the counterweight to the hose at a suitable position (usually 6-8 inches from the bottom of the spray head connection) to ensure smooth retraction of the spray head.

- Test for Leaks: Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are detected, turn off the water supply and re-tighten the connections.

Operating Instructions
Your ESSEBAGNO Big Pro faucet features a single lever for controlling both water flow and temperature, and a pull-out spray head for added versatility.
- Water Flow: Lift the single lever handle to turn on the water. The higher you lift the handle, the greater the water flow.
- Water Temperature: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. Adjust the position between left and right to achieve your desired temperature.

- Pull-Out Spray Head: Grasp the spray head and pull it out from the main faucet body. The hose allows for extended reach. Press the button on the spray head to switch between stream and spray functions.

- Retracting the Spray Head: When finished, guide the spray head back into its docking position. The counterweight on the hose will assist in smooth retraction.
Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your ESSEBAGNO faucet:
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or any products containing bleach or alcohol, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spray head, clean any debris, and reattach.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed shut-off valve | Clean aerator; ensure shut-off valves are fully open |
| Leaks at connections | Loose connections; damaged washers | Tighten connections; replace washers if damaged |
| Water temperature issues | Incorrect lever position; issues with water heater | Adjust lever; check water heater settings |
| Spray head does not retract smoothly | Counterweight improperly positioned; hose obstruction | Adjust counterweight; check hose for kinks or obstructions |
