Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the installation, operation, and maintenance of your FORIOUS Kitchen Faucet with Soap Dispenser and Pot Filler Faucet set. This coordinated solution is designed to enhance kitchen efficiency and aesthetics, combining a durable deck-mount kitchen faucet with a space-saving pot filler.
The kitchen faucet features SUS304 stainless steel construction, a pull-down sprayer with three modes (Stream, Spray, Pause), and an integrated soap dispenser. It incorporates a precision-engineered ceramic cartridge for smooth, drip-resistant performance. The pot filler faucet is constructed from solid brass, offering corrosion resistance and a dual-jointed arm that extends up to 24 inches and folds compactly. Both units are finished in matte black nanotechnology for fingerprint resistance and include standardized hardware for straightforward installation.

Setup and Installation
This section provides detailed steps for installing both the kitchen faucet and the pot filler. Ensure the main water supply is turned off before proceeding.
Kitchen Faucet Installation
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the mounting surface is clean and dry. If using a 3-hole sink, install the deck plate.
- Install the Faucet: Insert the faucet body through the mounting hole(s) on the sink or countertop.
- Secure the Faucet: From underneath the sink, thread the mounting hardware onto the faucet shank and tighten securely.
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Connect the hot and cold water supply lines from the faucet to your angle stops. Ensure connections are tight but do not overtighten. The faucet includes pre-assembled hardware and NPT 1/2" fittings for easy setup.
- Install Soap Dispenser: Insert the soap dispenser into its designated hole. Secure it from underneath with the provided nut. Fill the dispenser with liquid soap from the top.
- Connect Sprayer Hose: Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting on the faucet's main body. Ensure it clicks into place.
- Attach Weight: Attach the counterweight to the pull-down sprayer hose at the indicated position to ensure smooth retraction.

Pot Filler Faucet Installation
- Choose Location: Select a suitable wall location above your stove or cooktop, ensuring it is within reach of all burners when extended.
- Prepare Water Supply: Ensure a dedicated cold water supply line (1/2" NPT) is available at the chosen installation point. Flush the water supply line before connecting the pot filler faucet to remove any debris.
- Mount the Faucet: Secure the pot filler's wall mount flange to the wall using appropriate anchors and screws. Ensure it is level and firmly attached.
- Connect to Water Supply: Connect the pot filler to the 1/2" NPT supply line. Use thread sealant tape for a watertight seal.
- Assemble Arms: Attach the articulated arms to the wall mount and to each other, ensuring all connections are secure.

Operating Instructions
Kitchen Faucet Operation
- Water Flow Activation: Lift the handle to turn on the water. Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
- Pull-Down Sprayer: Pull the spray head down from the spout. The hose retracts smoothly after use due to the counterweight.
- Spray Modes: The sprayer head features three distinct spray modes:
- Stream: For filling pots and general washing.
- Spray: For rinsing dishes and wider coverage.
- Pause: Temporarily stops water flow without turning off the faucet, useful for moving the sprayer between tasks.
- 360° Swivel Spout: The faucet spout can swivel 360 degrees, providing full sink access and flexibility.
- Soap Dispenser: Press the top of the soap dispenser to dispense liquid soap. Refill by lifting the top and pouring soap directly into the reservoir.

Pot Filler Faucet Operation
- Extend Arm: Gently pull the articulated arm(s) away from the wall to extend the faucet over your pot or cooking vessel. The dual-jointed arm extends up to 24 inches.
- Activate Water: Turn the handle(s) to activate water flow. The pot filler features dual shut-off valves for precise control.
- Retract Arm: After use, fold the articulated arm(s) back towards the wall for compact storage.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet and pot filler regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the matte black finish. The nanotechnology finish is designed to resist fingerprints and is easy to clean.
- Aerator Maintenance: If water flow becomes restricted, the aerator on the kitchen faucet or the detachable aerator on the pot filler may be clogged. Unscrew the aerator, clean any debris, and rinse it before reattaching.
- Ceramic Cartridge: The kitchen faucet features a durable ceramic cartridge, rigorously tested to over 500,000 cycles for drip-resistant performance. No regular maintenance is typically required for the cartridge itself.
- Brass Valves: The pot filler uses brass valves, also tested for durability and leak prevention.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Clogged aerator; partially closed shut-off valve; debris in supply line. | Clean aerator. Ensure shut-off valves are fully open. Flush supply lines (turn off main water first). |
| Leaking from Faucet Base | Loose mounting nut; damaged O-rings. | Tighten mounting nut from underneath the sink. Inspect and replace O-rings if damaged. |
| Dripping from Spout | Worn ceramic cartridge (unlikely for new faucet); debris in cartridge. | Ensure handle is fully closed. If dripping persists, the ceramic cartridge may need inspection or replacement (contact support). |
| Sprayer Not Retracting | Counterweight misplaced or obstructed; hose kinked. | Check counterweight position and ensure it moves freely. Straighten any kinks in the hose. |
