Setup & Installation
Before You Begin:
- Turn off the main water supply before starting any work.
- Clear the area under the sink for easy access.
- Ensure your sink has 3 holes and the dimensions match the faucet specifications.
- Gather all necessary tools: adjustable wrench, screwdriver, plumber's putty or silicone sealant, flashlight.
Faucet Installation:
- Insert the faucet body and handles into the corresponding mounting holes on the sink deck. Ensure the hot (red dot) and cold (blue dot) handles are correctly positioned.
- From underneath the sink, secure the faucet body and handles using the provided gaskets, metal plates, and mounting nuts. Tighten securely but do not overtighten.
- Connect the pre-installed water supply hoses from the handles to the central faucet body using the "Y" hose connector. This is a "Fast Click" connection and does not require Teflon tape or additional gaskets.
- Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from your angle stops to the corresponding hot (red) and cold (blue) marked hoses extending from the handles. Use Teflon tape on threaded connections if necessary, but typically not needed for braided supply lines with rubber washers.

Pop-Up Drain Installation:
- Ensure the sink has an overflow hole for proper function of the included pop-up drain.
- Slide the top washer up to the underside of the drain flange.
- Insert the drain flange and washer into the sink drain hole from above.
- From underneath the sink, secure the drain with the black gasket washer and nut. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a snug fit. Do not overtighten.
- Connect the P-trap to the bottom of the pop-up drain assembly.

Final Steps:
- Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the main water supply.
- Check for any leaks at all connection points. Tighten connections if necessary.
- Remove the aerator from the spout and turn on both hot and cold water to flush out any debris from the lines. Run water for a few minutes.
- Turn off the water, re-install the aerator, and test the faucet for proper operation.
Operation
Controlling Water Flow and Temperature:
Your ALEASHA widespread faucet features two lever handles for precise control over water flow and temperature.
- Cold Water: The handle marked with a blue dot controls the cold water. Turn the handle counter-clockwise to increase cold water flow.
- Hot Water: The handle marked with a red dot controls the hot water. Turn the handle counter-clockwise to increase hot water flow.
- Temperature Mixing: Adjust both handles simultaneously to achieve your desired water temperature.
- Water Flow: The further you turn the handles, the greater the water flow.

To maintain the matte black finish and prevent water spots, clean your faucet regularly.
- Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
