2. Operating Instructions

The ARCORA faucet features a two-handle design for precise control over water temperature and flow, along with a 360° rotating spout for convenience.

• Water Temperature Control: Use the left handle for hot water and the right handle for cold water. Turn the handles to adjust the desired temperature.
• Water Flow Control: The handles also control the water flow. Turn them further to increase flow and closer to the off position to reduce flow.

General 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 chrome finish.
• Wipe the faucet dry after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup.

4. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your ARCORA faucet, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator is clogged with debris or mineral deposits. Clean the aerator as described in the Maintenance section. Also, ensure that the water supply valves are fully open.
• Leaking from Spout: A persistent drip from the spout may indicate a worn-out ceramic disc cartridge. Contact customer support for replacement parts.
• Leaking from Base: Check all connections under the sink to ensure they are tight. If the leak persists, the gaskets may need to be replaced.
• Difficulty Adjusting Temperature: Ensure both hot and cold water supply lines are connected correctly and that the shut-off valves are open.
