5. Setup and Installation

The SCHÜTTE MIAMI Kitchen Faucet is designed for easy installation. Follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare the Sink Hole: Ensure your sink has a single mounting hole with a diameter between 35-50 mm.
2. Insert the Faucet: Place the faucet body into the prepared hole, ensuring the base gasket is correctly positioned.
3. Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the mounting triangle and then the fastening nut onto the threaded rod of the faucet. Tighten the nut firmly using the provided tool to secure the faucet to the sink.
4. Connect Water Hoses: Attach the flexible hot and cold water supply hoses (500 mm) to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply lines. Ensure all connections are hand-tightened first, then use a wrench for a final snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
5. Install Pull-Out Hose: Connect the pull-out spray hose to the designated connection point on the faucet. Ensure the weight (if included) is properly attached to the pull-out hose underneath the sink to allow for smooth retraction.
6. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for any signs of leaks. If leaks are detected, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.

6. Operating Instructions

6.1. Water Flow and Temperature Control

The faucet features a single lever for controlling both water flow and temperature:

• Flow Control: Lift the lever upwards to increase water flow. Push it downwards to decrease or stop the flow.
• Temperature Control: Move the lever to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The faucet incorporates a cold-start function, meaning when the lever is in the central position, only cold water flows, saving energy.

6.2. Using the Pull-Out Spray

The pull-out spray offers enhanced flexibility for various kitchen tasks:

• Extend the Spray: Gently pull the spray head downwards from its magnetic docking position to extend the hose. The soft-touch hose allows for movement in all directions.
• Switch Spray Functions: The spray head features a button or switch to toggle between two spray modes: a concentrated normal stream and a wider shower stream.
• Magnetic Docking: When finished, guide the spray head back towards the faucet body. The integrated magnet will securely pull and hold the spray head back into its original position.

6.3. 360-Degree Swivel

The entire faucet body can swivel 360 degrees, providing maximum reach and flexibility for single or double sinks.

7. Maintenance and Care

7.1. Cleaning the Faucet

To maintain the finish and functionality of your faucet:

• Clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive liquid cleaner.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid using abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or cleaners containing alcohol, ammonia, bleach, or phosphoric acid, as these can damage the surface.

7.2. Cartridge Replacement

The faucet is equipped with a durable ceramic sealing disc cartridge. In case of issues like persistent dripping or difficulty controlling water flow/temperature, the cartridge can be replaced.
