Installation

The KRAUS Coda faucet is designed for easy installation. It comes with pre-attached water lines and mounting hardware to simplify the process. For detailed steps, please refer to the included installation guide in your product packaging.

General Installation Notes:

  • Ensure all necessary tools are available before beginning installation.
  • Turn off the main water supply before disconnecting any existing plumbing.
  • Follow local plumbing codes and regulations.
  • The faucet is designed for single-hole installation. A deck plate (not included) may be used for 3-hole sinks.

Operating Instructions

Single Handle Control:

  • Water Flow: Lift the handle to turn on the water. The higher the handle is lifted, the greater the water flow.
  • Temperature Control: Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water. The 90-degree forward rotation allows for installation in tight spaces without backsplash clearance.

Pull-Down Sprayer:

  • Extension: Gently pull the spray head down from the spout to extend the hose.
  • Spray Functions: The spray head features two functions. Use the button on the spray head to switch between an aerated stream and a powerful spray.
  • Retraction: Once finished, the easy-retract hose and swivel adapter will guide the spray head smoothly back into place.
  • Swivel: The main spout swivels 360 degrees, providing full access to all areas of your sink.

Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and performance of your KRAUS Coda faucet, follow these simple cleaning guidelines:

  • Regular Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.
  • Spot-Free Finish: The Spot-Free Brushed Brass finish is designed to resist water spots and fingerprints. For best results, wipe down the faucet after each use.
  • Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
  • No Wax or Polish: Avoid using waxes or polishes, as they may dull the finish.

Troubleshooting

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

  • Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator is clogged with debris. Unscrew and clean the aerator. Also, ensure water supply valves are fully open.
  • Leaking from Handle: This may indicate a worn-out cartridge. Contact customer support for a replacement.
  • Sprayer Not Retracting: Check for obstructions in the hose path under the sink or ensure the weight on the hose is positioned correctly.
  • Water Temperature Issues: Verify that both hot and cold water supply lines are connected correctly and that the water heater is functioning.

For issues not resolved by these steps, please contact Kraus customer support.
