Setup and Installation
Installation of the Kohler Sous Pro-Style Faucet is designed for a single-hole deck mount configuration. For detailed step-by-step instructions, please refer to the comprehensive installation guide included in your product packaging or consult the official Kohler website. It is recommended to have the installation performed by a qualified plumber to ensure proper function and to prevent damage.
- Ensure all necessary components are present before beginning installation.
- Turn off the main water supply before disconnecting any existing plumbing.
- Follow local plumbing codes and regulations.
Operating Instructions
Your Kohler Sous Pro-Style Faucet offers intuitive controls for water flow and temperature, along with versatile sprayhead functions.
- Water Flow and Temperature Control:
The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Lift the handle to increase water flow. Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water. Adjust the handle position to achieve your desired temperature and flow rate.
- Using the Pull-Down Sprayhead:
Grasp the sprayhead and pull it down from the spout. The flexible hose allows for extended reach within and around your sink. When finished, guide the sprayhead back towards the spout; the magnetic docking system will securely hold it in place.
- Switching Spray Modes:
The sprayhead features a toggle button or switch to alternate between a steady aerated stream and a powerful spray. Press the button to switch between these two functions as needed for rinsing or cleaning tasks.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your Kohler faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia, bleach, or cleaners containing alcohol, acids, or abrasives, as these can damage the finish.
- Cleaning the Sprayhead Nozzles: If water flow becomes irregular, mineral deposits may be clogging the sprayhead nozzles. Gently rub the rubber nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge any buildup.
- Checking for Leaks: Periodically inspect the connections under the sink for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections if necessary, but do not overtighten.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your faucet, try these common troubleshooting steps:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the aerator is clogged with debris or mineral deposits. Unscrew the aerator from the sprayhead, clean it, and reattach. Also, ensure the water supply valves under the sink are fully open.
- Leaks from Handle or Spout: Minor leaks can often be resolved by ensuring all connections are tight. If the leak persists, the internal cartridge may need replacement. Refer to the full installation guide or contact Kohler support.
- Sprayhead Not Retracting Fully: Ensure there are no obstructions under the sink preventing the hose weight from moving freely. The hose weight helps retract the sprayhead.
- Difficulty Switching Spray Modes: Clean the sprayhead nozzles as described in the Maintenance section. If the issue continues, the sprayhead may need to be replaced.
For more complex issues, it is recommended to contact Kohler customer support or a professional plumber.
