4. Operating Instructions
The Hibbent Kitchen Faucet Head Replacement features an ergonomic design with easily accessible buttons for switching between water modes.

- Flushing Mode (Aquablade): Activates a strong, blade-like water flow designed to quickly remove stubborn food debris and clean tough spots.
To switch between modes, simply press the corresponding buttons located on the side of the spray head. The design allows for single-hand operation.
5. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your faucet head.
Cleaning the Aerator
The interior multi-mesh aerator can accumulate impurities over time, affecting water flow. Use the included aerator key to remove and clean it:
- Locate the aerator at the tip of the faucet head.
- Insert the aerator key into the slots on the aerator.
- Gently twist the key to unscrew and remove the aerator.
- Rinse the aerator under running water to remove any debris or mineral buildup. For stubborn buildup, soak it in a vinegar solution.
- Reinsert the clean aerator and tighten it with the key. Do not overtighten.
