Setup and Installation

1. Before You Begin

Ensure you have all necessary tools: adjustable wrench, Phillips screwdriver, plumber's putty or silicone sealant, safety glasses, and a bucket.
Turn off the main water supply to your home or the specific hot and cold water lines leading to the installation area.
Clear the area under the sink for easy access.

2. Removing Your Old Faucet (If Applicable)

Disconnect the hot and cold water supply lines from the old faucet.
Unscrew the mounting nuts securing the old faucet to the sink or countertop.
Lift the old faucet assembly from the sink. Clean the mounting surface thoroughly.

3. Installing the New Faucet

Place the gasket or O-ring (if provided) on the base of the new faucet.
Insert the faucet body into the single hole on your sink or countertop.
From underneath the sink, secure the faucet using the mounting washer and nut. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench to snug it up, ensuring the faucet is straight.
Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your home's water supply. Use thread sealant tape on the threads for a watertight seal.
Attach the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting under the faucet. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
Install the weight onto the pull-down hose at the marked location (usually 6-8 inches from the end of the hose) to ensure proper retraction.
If included, install the soap dispenser into its designated hole and secure it from underneath.

4. Final Steps

Slowly turn on the main water supply.
Check for any leaks at all connections. Tighten if necessary.
Run both hot and cold water through the faucet for several minutes to flush out any debris from the lines.

Operating Instructions

Water Flow and Temperature Control

The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature.
To turn on the water, lift the handle upwards. The further you lift, the greater the water flow.
To adjust temperature, move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
To turn off the water, push the handle downwards.

Using the Pull-Down Sprayer

To use the sprayer, simply pull the spray head down from the spout. The flexible hose allows for extended reach.
The spray head typically has buttons or a toggle to switch between stream and spray functions. Press the desired button to change the water pattern.
When finished, guide the spray head back into the spout. The weight on the hose will assist in its retraction.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning the Faucet

Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap.
Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the polished chrome finish.
Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.

Aerator Maintenance

If water flow decreases or becomes erratic, the aerator may be clogged.
Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout (you may need an aerator key or pliers with a cloth to protect the finish).
Rinse out any debris or mineral deposits. For stubborn deposits, soak the aerator in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.
Reassemble the aerator and screw it back onto the spout.

Troubleshooting
