Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your faucet:
- Prepare the Installation Area: Ensure the sink or countertop has three pre-drilled holes for the faucet and handles. Clean the area thoroughly.
- Install the Faucet Spout: Insert the main faucet body into the center hole of the sink/countertop. Secure it from underneath with the provided washer and mounting nut. Ensure the gasket is properly seated to prevent leaks.
- Install the Handles: Insert the hot and cold handles into the remaining two holes. Secure them from underneath using their respective washers and mounting nuts.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the flexible water supply hoses to the hot and cold water inlets on the handles. Ensure a tight connection.
- Connect Handles to Faucet Spout: Use the provided short hoses to connect the hot and cold outlets from the handles to the corresponding inlets on the main faucet spout. Refer to the installation schematic for correct routing.
- Test for Leaks: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for any signs of leakage. Tighten any leaking connections gently.

Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your faucet:
- Regular Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator at the tip of the spout to clean out any mineral deposits or debris that may affect water flow. Rinse it under running water and reattach.
- Avoid Hard Water Stains: Wipe the faucet dry after each use to prevent water spots and mineral buildup, especially in areas with hard water.
- Inspect Connections: Occasionally check all connections for any signs of leaks or corrosion. Address any issues promptly to prevent further damage.
