Setup and Installation
The Glacier Bay Market Faucet is designed for quick and easy installation, compatible with both 1-hole and 3-hole kitchen sinks with 8-inch centers. The exclusive FastMount system simplifies the mounting process.
Pre-Installation Steps:
- Ensure all necessary components are present as listed in the packaging.
- Turn off the main water supply to the kitchen sink.
- Clear the area under the sink for easy access during installation.
Installation Procedure:
- Mounting the Faucet: Position the faucet body and deck plate (if using for 3-hole sinks) onto the sink holes. Utilize the FastMount system by pushing the mounting nut over the shank and twisting to tighten securely from underneath the sink.
- Connecting Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your home's water supply valves. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks. The faucet includes a 29.5-inch braided supply hose with a 3/8-inch connection.
- Connecting Sprayer Hose: Attach the pull-out sprayer hose to the designated connection point on the faucet's underside.
- Installing Weight: Attach the hose weight to the pull-out sprayer hose at the indicated position to ensure smooth retraction.
- Testing: Once all connections are secure, slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks. Operate the faucet to ensure proper water flow and sprayer function.

Operating Instructions
Your Glacier Bay Market Faucet is designed for intuitive operation, providing convenient control over water flow, temperature, and spray patterns.
Water Flow and Temperature Control:
The single-control lever handle allows for easy adjustment of both water flow and temperature. Move the handle up to increase flow and down to decrease it. Pivot the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
Pull-Out Sprayer Functionality:
The pull-out sprayer provides extended reach with a workable hose length of 25.2 inches, ideal for various kitchen tasks such as filling large pots or cleaning the sink basin.
Spray Modes:
- Aerated Spray: This standard spray mode provides a steady, aerated stream suitable for everyday washing.
- TurboSpray™: Activate this exclusive Glacier Bay feature for a stronger, more focused spray pattern, offering 30% more cleaning power than standard pull-out faucets. This is particularly useful for rinsing stubborn food debris.
Switch between spray modes using the buttons located on the sprayer head.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your Glacier Bay Market Faucet.
Cleaning the Finish:
To maintain the stainless steel finish, clean regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Aerator Maintenance:
If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator on the sprayer head may be clogged with mineral deposits. Unscrew the aerator from the sprayer head, clean any debris or mineral buildup, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
Hose and Weight Inspection:
Periodically inspect the pull-out hose for any kinks or damage. Ensure the hose weight is securely attached and allows for smooth retraction of the sprayer.
