Setup and Installation
Before installation, ensure your faucet is compatible with M22 external or M24 internal threads. Turn off the water supply to the faucet before beginning.
Installation Steps:
- Remove Existing Aerator: Unscrew the current aerator from your faucet. If it's tight, use a wrench.
- Determine Faucet Thread Type:
- If your faucet has an M22 male thread (external thread), you can screw the Ibergrif aerator directly onto the faucet.
- If your faucet has an M24 female thread (internal thread), first attach the provided adapter to the faucet, then screw the Ibergrif aerator onto the adapter.
- Attach the Aerator: Hand-tighten the Ibergrif aerator (or adapter first, then aerator) onto the faucet. Use the provided installation wrench for a snug fit, but do not overtighten.
- Check for Leaks: Turn on the water supply and check for any leaks. If leaks occur, tighten slightly more.

Operating Instructions
The Ibergrif Faucet Aerator offers multiple functionalities for various uses.
1. 720° Rotation:
The aerator head can be rotated 720 degrees, allowing you to direct the water flow precisely where needed. This flexibility is ideal for washing dishes, rinsing the sink, or cleaning your face.

2. Dual Flow Modes:
To switch between the two primary water flow modes, simply rotate the nozzle at the end of the aerator.
- Bubble Mode: Provides a soft, aerated stream, ideal for handwashing and general use, reducing splash.
- Shower Mode: Delivers a wider, stronger spray, suitable for rinsing fruits, vegetables, or cleaning the sink.

3. Above Water Mode and Pressure Adjustment:
The aerator features a unique 'Above Water' mode for filling containers or rinsing upwards. A side knob allows for pressure adjustment.
- Above Water Mode: Push the central button to redirect water upwards, creating a fountain-like stream. This is convenient for quickly filling bottles or rinsing your mouth.
- Pressure Adjustment: Use the small knob on the side of the aerator to increase or decrease the water pressure according to your needs.
