Pre-Installation Checklist:
- Verify that the water supply and angle valve are correctly installed.
- Flush the water lines to remove any impurities or residual dirt that could block the faucet.
- Ensure your sink's mounting hole diameter is between 32mm and 45mm.
- Confirm countertop thickness does not exceed 45mm.
Installation Steps:
- Insert Faucet Body: Insert the flexible hoses through the mounting hole in the countertop, then position the faucet body.
- Secure Faucet: From underneath the countertop, place the rubber washer, then the stainless steel washer, and finally thread the fixing nut onto the outlet hose. Hand-tighten the fixing nut, then use a Phillips screwdriver to firmly tighten the two copper screws until the faucet is stable and secure.
- Install Pull-Out Hose and Gravity Ball: Insert the pull-out hose into the faucet body. Pass the gravity ball through the plastic sleeve and fix it at the specified length on the hose to ensure smooth retraction.
- Connect Spray Head: Insert the spray head into the pull-out hose and secure it with the two screws.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the hot and cold water supply hoses to their respective angle valves. The hoses are typically marked with red for hot and blue for cold for easy identification.

Operating Instructions

Water Flow and Temperature Control:
- The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Lift the handle to increase flow and move it left for hot water, right for cold water.
- The recommended working pressure for the faucet is between 0.05 MPa and 0.75 MPa.
- The faucet is designed to handle water temperatures from 4°C to 90°C.

Using the Pull-Out Spray Head:
- Gently pull the spray head from the faucet body to extend the hose. It can extend up to 60 cm.
- Press the button on the spray head to switch between the aerated stream mode (soft, non-splashing, water-saving) and the powerful spray mode (ideal for rinsing).
- After use, release the spray head, and the gravity ball mechanism will smoothly retract it back into the faucet body.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning Instructions:
- Clean the faucet frequently or regularly.
- Use only clean water and wipe the surface with a soft cotton cloth.
- Do not use abrasive particles, acidic cleaners, rough nylon materials, or sandpaper, as these can damage the chrome finish.
Aerator and Spray Head Maintenance:
- If you notice reduced water flow from the spray head, it may be due to mineral buildup.
- To address this, remove the spray head from the pull-out hose.
- Clean the rubber ring and any mesh filters within the spray head.
- Reinstall the spray head once cleaned.
