- Press the button on the spray wand to switch between aerated stream and powerful rinse spray modes.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet:
The Spot Resist Stainless finish is designed to minimize fingerprints and water spots. To clean, simply wipe the faucet with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish and void your warranty.
Aerator Maintenance:
Periodically unscrew the aerator from the end of the spray wand and rinse any debris or mineral buildup under running water. This helps maintain optimal water flow.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Moen Nolia faucet, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator is clogged with debris. Clean or replace if necessary. Ensure water supply valves are fully open.
- Leaks: Verify all connections are tight. If leaks persist, check O-rings and gaskets for damage and replace if needed.
- Sprayer Not Retracting: Ensure the hose is not obstructed under the sink. The Reflex system should allow for smooth retraction.
- Temperature Issues: Confirm hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected.
For persistent issues, contact Moen customer support or consult a qualified plumber.
