5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.
5.1 Cleaning the Faucet
- The Spot Resist Stainless finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots.
- Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- For stubborn water spots, a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
5.2 Battery Replacement
- The touchless feature is powered by batteries located in a battery pack under the sink.
- When batteries are low, the faucet may exhibit reduced sensor responsiveness or a chirping sound.
- To replace batteries, locate the battery pack, open it, and replace all old batteries with new ones of the specified type (typically AA or D batteries, refer to the battery pack for exact type).
- Ensure correct polarity when inserting new batteries.
- After replacing batteries, the system may need a moment to reset.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your faucet, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Water Flow (Touchless):
- Check if the manual handle is in the OFF position.
- Ensure the water supply valves are fully open.
- Verify that the battery pack has fresh batteries and is properly connected.
- Clean the sensor area to ensure no obstructions.
- No Water Flow (Manual):
- Check if the main water supply is on.
- Ensure the hot and cold water supply lines are not kinked or blocked.
- Weak Water Pressure:
- Check if the aerator is clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spray wand and clean any debris.
- Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
- Flickering or Unintended Activation:
- Ensure the sensor area is clean and free from reflective surfaces or objects.
- Avoid placing objects too close to the sensor.
- Chirping Sound:
- This typically indicates low batteries. Replace the batteries in the battery pack.
