Installation Steps

The hot water line is typically on the left, and the cold water line on the right. Use appropriate wrenches to tighten connections, avoiding overtightening.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet
- Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the matte black finish.
- Wipe dry after cleaning to prevent water spots.
Bubbler Maintenance
- The bubbler (aerator) can be detached for cleaning.
- Periodically remove and clean the plastic filter nets to ensure optimal water flow and prevent mineral buildup.
Ceramic Cartridge Maintenance
The high-quality ceramic cartridge is designed for long-term, drip-free performance. In the event of a leak or reduced performance, the valve core can be replaced. This typically involves loosening the faucet handle with appropriate tools. It is recommended to consult a professional for cartridge replacement if you are unfamiliar with the process.
