Installation Instructions
This section outlines the steps for installing your GIMILI touchless kitchen faucet. Ensure all necessary tools are available before starting.
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink area is clean and free of debris. If installing on a 3-hole sink, use the included deck plate to cover the unused holes.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the sink hole. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware (washer, gasket, and mounting nut). Tighten securely.
- Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks. Use thread seal tape if recommended by local plumbing codes.
- Install Sprayer Hose and Weight: Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting on the main water line. Attach the gravity ball weight to the hose at the marked position (typically 6-8 inches from the end of the sprayer head) to ensure smooth retraction.
- Connect Power:
- AC Adapter: Plug the AC adapter into a standard electrical outlet. Important: Avoid outlets controlled by a garbage disposal switch, as this will cut power to the faucet when the disposal is off.
- Battery Pack (Optional): If using batteries, insert 4 AA batteries (not included) into the battery box and connect it to the faucet's power input cable.
- Test for Leaks and Functionality: Turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. Test the touchless sensor and the manual handle for proper water flow and temperature control.
Operating Instructions
Touchless Sensor Operation
The faucet features a smart motion sensor for hands-free operation:
- Activate Water Flow: Wave your hand within 3 inches of the sensor (located on the faucet body) to turn the water on. The water will activate in approximately 0.5 seconds.
- Deactivate Water Flow: Wave your hand again within 3 inches of the sensor to turn the water off.
- Automatic Shut-off: For safety and water conservation, the faucet will automatically turn off after 3 minutes of continuous flow if no further motion is detected.
Manual Handle Operation
The single handle controls both water temperature and flow when the sensor is not active or for continuous flow:
- Turn On/Off: Lift the handle to turn on the water. Push down to turn off.
- Adjust Temperature: Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
- Adjust Flow: Lift the handle higher for increased water flow.
Pull-Down Sprayer Function
The pull-down sprayer offers two distinct spray modes:
- Stream Mode: Ideal for filling pots and general washing.
- Spray Mode: Provides a powerful spray for rinsing and cleaning.
- Switching Modes: Press the button on the sprayer head to toggle between stream and spray modes.
- Retraction: After use, the gravity ball system ensures the sprayer nozzle retracts smoothly back into place.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet
To maintain the matte black finish and ensure hygiene:
- Clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
- Use mild soap and water if necessary.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Dry the faucet thoroughly after cleaning to prevent water spots.
Aerator Maintenance
If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged with mineral deposits or debris:
- Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the sprayer head.
- Rinse any debris from the aerator screen under running water.
- Reattach the aerator securely.
Power Source Maintenance
If using the battery pack, replace the 4 AA batteries when the sensor's response becomes slow or inconsistent. Ensure proper battery orientation.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No water flow or low pressure | Water supply off, clogged aerator, kinked hose, power issue | Check water supply valves, clean aerator, straighten hose, check power connection/replace batteries. |
| Sensor not responding | No power, sensor obstructed, dirty sensor | Check AC adapter connection or replace batteries. Ensure nothing is blocking the sensor. Clean sensor area. |
| Water does not turn off | Sensor malfunction, debris in valve | Wave hand again. If issue persists, disconnect power for 30 seconds and reconnect. Contact support if problem continues. |
| Leaks from connections | Loose connections, damaged O-rings | Tighten connections. Inspect and replace O-rings if damaged. |
| Sprayer does not retract smoothly | Gravity ball weight obstructed or improperly positioned | Ensure the gravity ball weight is correctly attached and has a clear path under the sink. |
