Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Wall: Ensure the wall opening is correctly sized for the faucet's concealed body.

- Assemble Faucet Spout and Handle: Insert the faucet spout and the single lever handle into their respective openings on the decorative plate and concealed body. Secure them according to the provided hardware.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and aesthetic appeal of your Sollux faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted or uneven, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the spout, clean any debris or mineral deposits, and then reattach it.
- Cartridge: The ceramic cartridge is designed for long-term durability (over 600,000 cycles). In case of persistent drips or leaks, the cartridge may need replacement. Contact customer support for assistance.
