5. Operating Instructions
Your Perrin and Rowe faucet features touchless activation and a versatile pull-down spray:
- Touchless Operation: Wave your hand in front of the sensor located at the base of the faucet to turn the water on or off. The water will automatically shut off after a set period of inactivity to conserve water.
- Manual Operation: The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Lift the handle to increase flow and move it left for hot water or right for cold water.
- Pull-Down Spray: Pull down the spray head from the spout. A button on the spray head allows you to switch between two spray functions (e.g., aerated stream and powerful spray). The spray head retracts smoothly back into the spout when released.
- Swivel Spout: The spout rotates 180 degrees, providing extended reach and flexibility for various sink tasks.

6. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the lasting beauty and performance of your faucet:
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, ammonia, bleach, or cleaners containing alcohol or other harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow decreases, the aerator may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator from the end of the spout, clean any debris, and reattach.
- Sensor Care: Keep the touchless sensor clean and free of obstructions for optimal performance.
