Operating Instructions

Your Franke Icon faucet is designed for ease of use with a single lever handle and a pull-out spray function.

• Water Flow and Temperature: The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Move the handle up to increase flow and down to decrease. Move it left for hot water and right for cold water.
• Pull-Out Spray: Gently pull the spray head from the spout to extend the hose. This allows for greater reach and flexibility for various kitchen tasks.
• Spray Function: The pull-out spray head features a shower function in addition to the standard laminar flow. Switch between functions as needed.
• Spout Rotation: The faucet spout can rotate 360°, providing maximum flexibility for single or double sinks.
