Safety Information
Before beginning installation, ensure all water supply lines are turned off. Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves and eye protection. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified plumber. Do not overtighten connections to prevent damage.
Setup & Installation
Follow these steps for a quick and easy installation. No professional help is typically needed.
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink area is clean and free of debris. If replacing an old faucet, remove it completely and clean the mounting surface.
- Install the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the sink hole. If using a 3-hole sink, place the 10-inch deck plate first.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, slide the rubber gasket, metal washer, and fixed nut onto the faucet shank. Screw the nut and tighten it securely using a screwdriver.
- Connect Sprayer Hose: Put the sprayer hose into the fast-connect fitting until it clicks into place.
- Install Weighted Ball: Unscrew the gravity ball with a screwdriver, then install it at the locator mark on the sprayer hose. Re-tighten the screws.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Rinse impurities from the hot and cold water supply valves for at least 30 seconds. Connect the hot and cold water pipes to the corresponding water supply valves. Hand-tighten first, then use an adjustable wrench for a final snug fit, being careful not to overtighten.
- Test for Leaks: Turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks.

Operating Instructions
Your FORIOUS Kitchen Faucet is designed for ease of use and versatility.
- Water Flow Activation: Lift the single handle to turn on the water. Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
- Sprayer Functionality: The pull-down sprayer offers three modes:
- Stream: Ideal for filling pots and general washing.
- Spray: Use for rinsing dishes and cleaning the sink.
- Pause: Temporarily stops water flow without turning off the main handle, useful for moving the sprayer between tasks.
- Soap Dispenser: To dispense soap, press down on the pump head of the integrated soap dispenser. Refill by pulling the pump tube upwards and pouring soap directly into the bottle from the top.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish. The silicone nozzles are easy to clean by gently rubbing them to remove mineral buildup.
- Check for Leaks: Periodically inspect all connections under the sink for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections as needed, but do not overtighten.
- Cartridge Care: The ceramic cartridge is designed for long-lasting, leak-proof performance. If you notice a persistent drip or reduced flow, the cartridge may need inspection or replacement.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your faucet, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the sprayer head for mineral buildup that might be obstructing flow; clean the silicone nozzles as described in the Maintenance section.
- Leaks: Ensure all connections are tight. If leaks persist, check the rubber gaskets and washers for proper seating or damage.
- Dripping Faucet: A persistent drip usually indicates an issue with the ceramic cartridge. Contact customer support for assistance or replacement parts.
- Sprayer Not Retracting: Ensure the weighted ball on the hose underneath the sink is positioned correctly and not obstructed.
