5. Setup and Installation
The WEWE Kitchen Faucet is designed for easy DIY installation, typically completed within 20 minutes. Follow these steps carefully:
5.1. Before You Begin
- Turn off the hot and cold water supply valves under the sink.
- Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
- Ensure you have basic tools: adjustable wrench, screwdriver, plumber's putty or silicone sealant.
5.2. Faucet Installation Steps
- If your sink has three holes, place the deck plate (escutcheon) over the holes. For a single-hole sink, the deck plate is optional.
- Insert the faucet body through the center hole of the sink/deck plate.
- From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the provided mounting hardware (washer and mounting nut). Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to snug it up, ensuring the faucet is straight.
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your home's water supply valves. The hot water line is typically marked with red, and the cold with blue.
- Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting under the faucet body. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Attach the weight to the pull-down sprayer hose, typically at the lowest point of the loop, to ensure smooth retraction.
5.3. Soap Dispenser Installation Steps
- Insert the soap dispenser pump head through an available hole in your sink or countertop.
- From underneath, thread the mounting nut onto the dispenser's shank and tighten it to secure the dispenser.
- Screw the soap bottle onto the dispenser's shank from underneath the sink.
- Fill the bottle with liquid soap from the top by removing the pump head.
5.4. Final Checks
- Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves.
- Check all connections for leaks. Tighten any leaking connections carefully.
- Run water through the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Water Flow and Temperature Control
- Turn On/Off: Lift the single handle to turn on the water and push it down to turn off.
- Temperature Adjustment: Move the handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water.
- Flow Adjustment: The further you lift the handle, the greater the water flow.
6.2. Pull-Down Sprayer and Dual Modes
The faucet features a pull-down sprayer with two distinct water modes:

- Pull-Down Function: Gently pull the sprayer head down from the spout to extend the hose for increased reach and flexibility.
- Stream Mode: Ideal for filling pots and general washing.
- Spray Mode: Provides a powerful rinse for cleaning dishes and the sink. Press the button on the sprayer head to switch between stream and spray.
- Retraction: After use, the sprayer head retracts smoothly back into the spout due to the counterweight on the hose.
6.3. Soap Dispenser Use
To dispense soap, simply press down on the pump head. To refill, lift the pump head straight up from the top of the sink and pour liquid soap directly into the bottle.
7. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your WEWE faucet. The SUS304 stainless steel with 7-layer finish processing is designed for durability and easy cleaning.

- Regular Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia-based cleaners, or cleaners containing bleach, acids, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the sprayer head, clean any debris, and reattach.
- Soap Dispenser: Periodically clean the soap dispenser pump and nozzle to prevent clogging. If the pump becomes stiff, a small amount of mineral oil can be applied to the mechanism.
8. Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your faucet.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
