2. Install the Faucet Body
- Insert the faucet body into the mounting hole.
- From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the rubber gasket, metal washer, and mounting nut. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
3. Connect Water Supply Lines
- Connect the hot and cold water supply hoses to your angle stops. Ensure the hot water line is connected to the 'H' marked inlet and the cold water line to the 'C' marked inlet on the faucet.
- Connect the pull-out sprayer hose to the designated outlet on the faucet body.
4. Install the Gravity Ball
The gravity ball ensures the pull-out sprayer retracts smoothly after use.
- Attach the gravity ball to the pull-out hose approximately 54cm (21.2 inches) from the sprayer head.
- Adjust the position of the gravity ball upwards or downwards to optimize the retraction experience.

- Run water through the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris.

Switching Spray Modes
The sprayer head features a button to switch between two distinct spray modes:
- Classic Stream Mode: Ideal for filling pots and pans, offering water efficiency and minimal splashing. This is the default mode.
- Spray Mode: Provides a powerful spray for thorough cleaning, reducing wiping time.
To switch modes, press the button on the sprayer head. Note: The sprayer can only be switched to spray mode when water is flowing. When the tap is turned off, the mode will reset to classic stream mode.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia, bleach, or other harsh chemicals, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the sprayer head, clean any debris, and reattach.
- Hose Inspection: Periodically inspect the pull-out hose for any signs of wear or damage.
