1. Prepare the Sink Area: Turn off the main water supply. Clear the area under the sink. Remove any existing faucet.
2. Install the Faucet Body: Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole on your sink or countertop. Ensure the base gasket is properly seated.
3. Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, thread the mounting nut onto the faucet shank and tighten it securely. Ensure the faucet is aligned correctly before fully tightening.
4. Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your home's water supply valves. Use thread sealant tape as needed and tighten connections firmly but do not overtighten.
5. Install the Pull-Down Hose and Counterweight: Feed the pull-down hose through the faucet spout. Attach the counterweight to the hose at the specified location (typically below the sink, allowing for smooth retraction).
6. Connect Spray Head: Attach the spray head to the pull-down hose.
7. Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper water flow and spray function.

5. Operating Instructions

Your GROHE Concetto faucet is designed for intuitive use with advanced features:

• Water Flow and Temperature Control: The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Move the handle up to increase flow and down to decrease. Move it left for hot water and right for cold water. The GROHE SilkMove ceramic disc cartridge ensures smooth and precise control.
• Dual Spray Function: The pull-down spray head features a toggle button. Press this button to switch between a regular aerated stream for filling pots and a powerful spray for rinsing dishes or cleaning the sink.
• Pull-Down Spray Head: The spray head extends for increased reach and flexibility. After use, the EasyDock system ensures smooth retraction and secure docking of the spray head back into the spout.
• 360° Swivel Spout: The faucet spout can swivel 360 degrees, providing extensive coverage for various sink tasks.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your GROHE Concetto faucet:

• Cleaning Speed Clean Nozzles: The spray head features GROHE Speed Clean nozzles. Limescale buildup can be easily wiped away with your fingertip, maintaining optimal water flow.
