6. Installation Guide
This section outlines the general steps for installing your GIMILI touchless kitchen faucet. Refer to the included detailed installation manual for specific diagrams and step-by-step instructions.
6.1. Before You Begin
- Turn off the main water supply to your kitchen sink.
- Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
- Ensure you have all the necessary tools (e.g., adjustable wrench, screwdriver, plumber's putty or silicone sealant).
6.2. Installation Steps
- Prepare the Sink Hole: If installing on a three-hole sink, use the included deck plate. For a single-hole sink, the deck plate is optional.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the sink hole. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware.
- Connect Water Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your home's water supply valves. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Install the Sprayer Hose and Weight: Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting on the faucet. Attach the gravity ball weight to the hose at the specified location to ensure smooth retraction.
- Connect the AC Adapter: Plug the AC adapter into the control box of the faucet. Then, plug the AC adapter into a dedicated electrical outlet. Important: Do not share an outlet with a garbage disposal.
- Test the Faucet: Turn on the main water supply. Check for leaks. Test the manual handle and the touchless sensor functionality.

7. Operating Instructions
7.1. Manual Operation
The single handle controls both water flow and temperature. Lift the handle to turn on the water and adjust its position left for hot water or right for cold water. Push the handle down to turn off the water.
7.2. Touchless Sensor Operation
To activate the touchless feature, simply wave your hand within 3 inches of the sensor located on the faucet body. The water will turn on instantly. Wave your hand again to turn the water off. The faucet will automatically shut off after 3 minutes of continuous flow to prevent accidental water waste.

7.3. Sprayer Functionality
The pull-down sprayer offers two modes:
- Stream Mode: Ideal for filling pots and general washing, providing a steady, splash-free flow.
- Spray Mode: Delivers a powerful, wider spray for rinsing dishes and cleaning the sink more thoroughly.
Press the button on the sprayer head to switch between these modes. The sprayer hose retracts automatically when released, guided by the gravity ball system.

8. Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your GIMILI faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
- Cleaning the Sprayer Nozzles: If water flow becomes irregular, the rubber nozzles on the sprayer head may be clogged with mineral deposits. Gently rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any buildup.
- Ceramic Valve: The faucet features a durable ceramic valve designed for long-lasting performance (rated for 1,500,000 on/off cycles). No specific user maintenance is required for the valve itself.
