Operating Instructions
Water Flow and Temperature Control
The faucet features a single handle for controlling 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.
Dual Spouts and Sprayer Modes
This faucet is equipped with two independent spouts: a fixed pot filler and a pull-down sprayer. Both spouts can rotate 360 degrees for full sink access.
- Pull-Down Sprayer: The sprayer offers two jet types:
- Spray Mode: Provides wider, gentler coverage, ideal for rinsing.
- Stream Mode: Delivers a more powerful, focused water flow, suitable for filling.
- Buckle Lock System: The pull-down sprayer features a unique Buckle Lock system. This allows you to lock the sprayer in the desired mode (spray or stream) without continuously holding the button, freeing your hands for other tasks.
- Fixed Pot Filler: Use the separate fixed spout for filling pots or for stubborn messes. Each nozzle has its own control handle.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AIMADI faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Preventing Mineral Build-up: Wipe the nozzles of the sprayer head after each use to prevent mineral deposits, especially in areas with hard water. If mineral build-up occurs, gently scrub with a soft brush and a vinegar solution.
- Drip-Free Operation: The built-in ceramic cartridge is designed for drip-free operation. If dripping occurs, consult the troubleshooting section or contact customer support.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your faucet, please refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Faucet Drips | Worn out ceramic cartridge or loose connections. | Ensure all connections are tight. If dripping persists, the ceramic cartridge may need replacement. Contact customer support for assistance. |
| Sprayer Not Switching Modes | Debris in the sprayer mechanism or a faulty switch. | Clean the sprayer head thoroughly. If the issue continues, contact customer support. |
