4.2. Controlling Water Flow
- The faucet features two handles for controlling water flow. One handle is located at the wall connection, and the other is at the end of the spout.
- Turn either handle to open or close the water flow. Both handles must be in the 'open' position for water to flow.
- To stop water flow, ensure both handles are in the 'closed' position to prevent dripping.
