• Ensure all connections are secure.

5. Install Sprayer Hose and Weight

• Feed the pull-down sprayer hose through the faucet spout.
• Attach the sprayer wand to the hose.
• Install the hose weight onto the pull-down hose at the marked location (typically 6-8 inches from the loop under the sink) to ensure proper retraction.

6. Test for Leaks and Flush Lines

• Slowly turn on the hot and cold water supply valves.
• Check all connections for leaks. Tighten if necessary.
• Turn the faucet handle to the mixed position and allow water to run for a few minutes to flush out any debris from the lines.

Single Handle Control

Care and Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your Moen Doherty faucet, follow these care instructions:

Cleaning the Finish (Spot Resist Stainless)

The Spot Resist Stainless finish is designed to resist fingerprints and water spots, making cleaning easier.

• Use a soft, damp cloth and mild soap to clean the faucet surface.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, polishes, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.

Aerator Maintenance

If water flow becomes restricted or irregular, the aerator may need cleaning.

• Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the sprayer wand.
• Rinse any debris from the screen. For stubborn mineral deposits, soak the aerator in a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.
• Reattach the aerator securely.
