- Install Faucet Body: Insert the main faucet body into the center hole. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided washers and nuts.
- Connect Water Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding inlets on the faucet. Ensure connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Install Handles: Insert the hot and cold water handles into their respective holes and secure them.
- Install Soap Dispenser: Insert the soap dispenser into its designated hole. Fill the dispenser with liquid soap from the top.
- Connect Sprayer Hose: Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting under the faucet. Attach the weight to the hose to ensure smooth retraction.

5. Operation
5.1 Water Flow and Temperature Control
The faucet features two separate handles for precise control of hot and cold water. Turn the left handle for hot water and the right handle for cold water. Adjust both handles to achieve the desired temperature and flow rate.

5.2 Sprayer Functions
The pull-down sprayer offers five distinct modes for various tasks:
- Stream: A steady, aerated flow for filling pots.
- Spray: A wide, powerful spray for rinsing dishes.
- Waterfall: A broad, gentle sheet of water, ideal for washing fruits and vegetables.
- Waterfall Broom: Combines the waterfall with a focused stream for broader cleaning.
- Dual Broom: Two concentrated streams for targeted cleaning.
Switch between modes using the buttons on the spray head. The spray head is 360° rotatable and features a 20-inch retractable hose for extended reach and flexibility.

6. Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will help preserve the finish and functionality of your faucet.
- Cleaning the Finish: Clean the brushed nickel surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish. For stubborn spots, a mild soap solution can be used, followed by rinsing and drying.
- Cleaning the Sprayhead: Periodically check the sprayhead nozzles for mineral buildup. If clogs occur, gently rub the rubber nozzles to dislodge deposits. For more severe clogs, the sprayhead may be unscrewed and soaked in a vinegar solution.
- Checking Connections: Occasionally inspect all water connections under the sink for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections if necessary.
