Setup and Installation

Before beginning installation, ensure you have all necessary components and tools. It is recommended to consult a professional plumber if you are unsure about any steps.

Package Contents:

Installation Steps:

1. Prepare the Mounting Hole: Ensure your sink or countertop has a mounting hole with a diameter between 3.2-3.6 cm (1 1/4 - 2 1/5 inches). The maximum countertop thickness should not exceed 4 cm (1 3/5 inches).
2. Arrange Accessories: Place the rubber washer and metal washer onto the faucet's threaded pipe from underneath the sink. Secure with the fixing nut.
3. Connect Water Lines: Connect the hot, cold, and filtered water supply hoses to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. The hot and cold lines typically use 3/8" standard pipe connections. The filtered water line connects separately. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
4. Test for Leaks: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for any signs of leakage. Run both tap water and filtered water to ensure proper flow.

Operating Instructions

Your APPASO 3-Way Kitchen Faucet features two distinct handles for controlling water flow:

This diagram clearly labels the faucet's main parts: the separate outlets for filtered and tap water, the dedicated handle for filtered drinking water, and the handle for controlling hot and cold tap water.

• Hot/Cold Tap Water: Use the main handle (typically on the right) to control the flow and temperature of regular tap water. Move the handle forward for cold water and backward for hot water.
• Filtered Drinking Water: Use the smaller handle (typically on the left) to dispense filtered drinking water. This handle operates independently from the hot/cold tap water.

The faucet's spout can be rotated 360 degrees to direct water flow as needed for various tasks in your sink.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your APPASO faucet.

• Cleaning the Finish: Clean the brushed nickel finish with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or polishes that can damage the finish.
• Aerator Cleaning: The dual aerator can be removed for cleaning. Periodically unscrew the aerator from the spout and rinse any debris or mineral buildup under running water. Reinstall securely.
• Leak Checks: Periodically inspect all connections under the sink for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections if necessary.
