- Mount Faucet to Sink: Place the faucet assembly, along with the deck plate if using, into the single hole on your sink or countertop.
- Secure the Mounting Nut: From underneath the sink, thread and tighten the mounting nut onto the mounting stem to firmly secure the faucet.
- Connect the Hoses: Connect the hot and cold water supply hoses (3/8" female compression threads) to your water supply lines. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
Soap Dispenser Installation

Operating Instructions
Your GIMILI kitchen faucet features a single handle for water flow and temperature control, a pull-down sprayer, and an independent nozzle for versatile use.
Water Flow and Temperature Control
The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Move the handle up to increase flow and down to decrease. Pivot the handle left for hot water and right for cold water. The internal valve is designed for durability and smooth operation.
Pull-Down Sprayer and Spray Lock
The pull-down sprayer offers flexibility for cleaning and rinsing. It features a unique spray lock design:
- Spray Mode: Press the button on the sprayer head to switch to spray mode.
- Lock Buckle Design: Lightly press the lock button on the sprayer to maintain a continuous spray without holding the button. This frees your hands for tasks like filling pots or rinsing vegetables. Press again to release the lock.
Independent Nozzle (Stream Mode)
The faucet also features an independent nozzle that provides a steady stream of water. This is ideal for tasks requiring a gentle, consistent flow and helps prevent splashing.
Powerful Water Pressure
Both the sprayer and the main spout deliver ample water pressure, making it easy to dislodge and flush away food residues from cookware and the sink.

- Aerator Maintenance: Periodically unscrew the aerator from the spout and clean any mineral deposits or debris that may have accumulated. Rinse thoroughly and reattach.
- Hose Inspection: Regularly check the pull-down sprayer hose for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure it moves freely and is not kinked.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your faucet, refer to the common problems and solutions below:
