Setup and Installation
This faucet is designed for easy installation in either a 1-hole or 3-hole configuration. A deck plate is included for 3-hole installations.
Tools You May Need (Not Included):
- Adjustable Wrench
- Phillips Head Screwdriver
- Plumber's Putty or Silicone Sealant
- Flashlight
- Bucket (for catching drips)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Sink: Turn off the hot and cold water supply lines at the shut-off valves under the sink. Open the existing faucet to drain any remaining water. Disconnect and remove the old faucet if applicable. Clean the sink surface around the faucet holes.
- Install Deck Plate (for 3-hole sinks): If your sink has three holes, place the included stainless steel deck plate over the holes. Ensure the gasket is properly seated underneath the deck plate to prevent water leakage.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the center hole (or the center hole of the deck plate). Ensure the faucet is oriented correctly. From underneath the sink, slide the rubber washer, metal washer, and mounting nut onto the threaded shank of the faucet. Hand-tighten the mounting nut.
- Secure the Faucet: Use the provided Allen wrench to tighten the two screws on the mounting nut. This will secure the faucet firmly to the sink or countertop. Do not overtighten.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply hoses (included) to the corresponding inlets on the faucet body. The hoses are typically marked or color-coded (red for hot, blue for cold). Connect the other ends of the hoses to your hot and cold water supply valves. Use an adjustable wrench to tighten connections, ensuring a leak-free seal.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves. Check all connections for leaks. If any leaks are detected, tighten the connections slightly until the leak stops.
- Flush the Faucet: Remove the aerator from the spout. Turn on the faucet and let the water run for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the water lines. Turn off the faucet, reattach the aerator, and test the water flow and temperature.

Operating Instructions
Your MONDAWE faucet features a single-handle design for convenient control of water flow and temperature.
- Water Flow Control: Lift the handle upwards to increase water flow. Push the handle downwards to decrease or shut off water flow.
- Temperature Control: Move the handle to the left for hot water and to the right for cold water. Adjust the handle position between hot and cold to achieve your desired water temperature.
- 360° Swivel Spout: The high-arc spout can rotate 360 degrees, providing flexibility for various sink tasks and making it suitable for both single and double sinks.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Cleaning the Aerator: If water flow becomes restricted or irregular, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout. Rinse any debris from the screen under running water. For stubborn mineral deposits, soak the aerator in a solution of equal parts white vinegar and water. Reattach the aerator once clean. The faucet features easy-clean silicone nozzles for simplified maintenance.
- Leak Prevention: The faucet is equipped with a robust ceramic valve core and an integrated rubber ring designed for lasting durability and drip resistance. If a leak occurs, check connections and ensure they are properly tightened.
