- Pull-Down Sprayer: The integrated pull-down sprayer provides flexibility for cleaning and rinsing.
- Two Water Flow Modes: Switch between a steady stream for filling pots and a powerful spray for cleaning tasks using the button on the sprayer head.

6. Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your faucet:
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the brushed stainless steel finish.
- Ceramic Valve: The faucet is equipped with an upgraded ceramic valve designed for drip-free performance and precise hot and cold water control. No special maintenance is typically required for the valve itself.
- Sprayer Nozzles: If mineral deposits build up on the sprayer nozzles, gently rub them with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge the deposits.
