Setup and Installation

The FRANKE 115.0600.095 Centro Kitchen Faucet is designed for deck mounting with a single hole installation. Follow these general steps for installation:

1. Prepare the Mounting Surface: Ensure the sink or countertop has a mounting hole with a diameter of Ø35 mm. The maximum deck thickness should be considered for proper installation.
2. Install the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Ensure the faucet is oriented correctly before fully tightening.
3. Connect Water Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Connect the other ends to your hot and cold water supply valves. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a quarter turn to ensure a leak-free seal.
4. Check 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, tighten the connections slightly until the leak stops.

Operating Instructions

The FRANKE 115.0600.095 Centro Kitchen Faucet features a single mixer lever positioned at the top for easy control of water flow and temperature. The spout has a fixed position but offers a 150° rotation for convenience.

• Water Flow and Temperature Control: Move the lever upwards to increase water flow and downwards to decrease it. Move the lever left for hot water and right for cold water.
• Water Saving Technology: This faucet incorporates a two-stage flow reduction system. When opening the lever, it will initially stop at a halfway point, naturally limiting water flow to reduce consumption by up to 50%. For a full flow, simply push the lever further upwards past this resistance point.
• Laminar Jet: The special design of the aerator provides a compact and crystal-clear water stream, significantly reducing splashing during use.
• Spout Rotation: The faucet spout can be rotated up to 150 degrees, allowing for flexible use across different sink bowls or areas.

Maintenance and Care

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your FRANKE 115.0600.095 Centro Kitchen Faucet, follow these care guidelines:

• Cleaning the Finish: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or cleaners containing bleach, acids, or alcohol, as these can damage the chrome finish and internal components.
• Aerator Cleaning: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator may be clogged with mineral deposits. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean it under running water, and remove any debris. Reassemble the aerator securely.
