Setup and Installation
Tools Required:
- Adjustable Wrench
- Phillips Head Screwdriver
- Plumber's Putty or Silicone Sealant
- Flashlight
- Bucket
- Teflon Tape
Pre-Installation:
- Turn off the main water supply to the kitchen.
- Remove the old faucet (if applicable). Clean the sink or countertop surface thoroughly.
- Ensure the mounting hole on your sink or countertop is compatible with a single-hole faucet.
Faucet Installation Steps:
- Install Faucet Body: Place the faucet body through the single mounting hole on the sink or countertop. Ensure the base gasket is properly seated between the faucet and the surface.
- Secure Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Tighten the mounting nut securely with an adjustable wrench. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your angle stops. Use Teflon tape on the threaded connections and tighten with an adjustable wrench. The faucet includes integrated supply lines.
- Install Pull-Down Hose and Counterweight: Feed the pull-down spray hose through the faucet spout. Attach the counterweight to the pull-down hose at the marked location (or approximately 6 inches from the bottom of the loop) to ensure smooth retraction.
- Connect Spray Hose: Connect the pull-down spray hose to the quick-connect fitting or threaded connection on the underside of the faucet body. Ensure a secure connection.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check all connections for leaks. If leaks occur, tighten the connections slightly until they stop.
- Flush Faucet: Remove the spray head and turn on the water to flush out any debris from the lines. Run water for a few minutes, then turn off and reattach the spray head.

Operating Instructions
Water Flow and Temperature Control:
The Miseno kitchen faucet features a single lever handle for controlling both water flow and temperature.
- To Turn On/Off: Lift the handle upwards to turn on the water. Push the handle downwards to turn off the water.
- To Adjust Water Flow: The further the handle is lifted, the greater the water flow.
- To Adjust Temperature: Move the handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. The position between left and right will provide mixed temperatures.

Using the Pull-Down Spray Head:
The faucet is equipped with a pull-down spray head for increased versatility.
- To Extend: Gently pull the spray head downwards from the spout. The hose will extend to allow for greater reach.
- To Retract: When finished, guide the spray head back into the spout. The counterweight on the hose will assist in its retraction.
- Spray Modes: The spray head typically features buttons or a switch to toggle between stream and spray functions. Press the button to select your desired water pattern.

- 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.

If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged with debris. To clean:
