5. Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FORIOUS faucet.

Cleaning the Faucet:

• Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth.
• Avoid using abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
• The brushed nickel finish is designed to resist tarnishing and fingerprints, making it easier to maintain its appearance.

Cleaning the Pop-up Drain Filter:

The integrated pop-up drain filter helps prevent blockages. It is recommended to clean it periodically.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your faucet, please refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator (if applicable) or the pop-up drain filter for any blockages.
• Leaks: Ensure all connections, especially the supply hoses and drain assembly, are tightened correctly. Check gaskets for proper seating. If leaks persist, turn off the water supply and consult a professional plumber.
• Temperature Issues: Verify that the hot and cold water supply lines are connected to the correct inlets on the faucet.
• Stiff Handles: Over time, mineral deposits can affect handle movement. Clean around the base of the handles. If the issue persists, internal cartridge replacement may be necessary (consult manufacturer for parts).
