Setup and Installation
The FEELSO Kitchen Faucet is designed for easy DIY installation, typically completed within 15 minutes. Follow these steps for a smooth setup:
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink area is clean and dry. If replacing an old faucet, remove it and clean the mounting surface.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet body into the desired hole(s) on your sink or countertop. Use the included deck plate if your sink has three holes.
- Secure the Mounting Nut: From underneath the sink, hand-tighten the mounting nut onto the faucet shank. Use a small adjustable wrench to secure it firmly, but do not overtighten.
- Attach Pull-Down Hose: Connect the pull-down sprayer hose to the quick-connect fitting on the underside of the faucet. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Clasp the Hose Weight: Attach the hose weight to the pull-down hose at the indicated position (usually about 6-8 inches from the bottom of the sprayer head when fully retracted) to ensure smooth retraction.
- Connect Water Supply Hoses: Connect the hot and cold water supply hoses to your angle stops. The hoses are typically marked for hot (red) and cold (blue) water. Tighten connections with a wrench, ensuring no leaks.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks. Run the faucet for a few minutes to flush out any debris and check for proper operation.

Operating Instructions
Your FEELSO Kitchen Faucet offers versatile functionality for various kitchen tasks:
- Water Flow Activation: Lift the single lever handle to turn on the water flow.
- Temperature Control: Move the lever handle left for hot water and right for cold water. Adjust the lever position to achieve your desired water temperature.
- Pull-Down Sprayer: Gently pull the sprayer head from the spout to extend the hose. The 20-inch hose provides extended reach for cleaning and filling.
- Spray Mode Selection: The sprayer head features buttons to switch between three distinct spray modes:
- Stream Mode: Provides a steady, aerated flow for general washing.
- Spray Mode: Delivers a powerful, wide spray for rinsing dishes and cleaning the sink.
- Pause Mode: Temporarily stops water flow without turning off the main faucet, useful for moving the sprayer between tasks.
- Retracting the Sprayer: Once finished, guide the sprayer head back into the spout. The hose weight will assist in smooth retraction.
- 360° Swivel Spout: The faucet spout can swivel 360 degrees, allowing for flexible use across single or double sinks.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your FEELSO Kitchen Faucet:
- Cleaning the Finish: 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 nickel finish.
- Cleaning Silicone Nozzles: The sprayer head features easy-clean silicone nozzles. If mineral deposits build up, gently rub the nozzles with your finger or a soft brush to dislodge them. This helps maintain consistent spray performance.
- Checking for Leaks: Periodically inspect all connections under the sink for any signs of leaks. Tighten connections if necessary, but do not overtighten.
- Cartridge Longevity: The faucet is equipped with a durable drip-free ceramic cartridge, tested for over 500,000 cycles. No regular maintenance is required for the cartridge itself, but if persistent dripping occurs, it may need replacement.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your faucet, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low Water Flow | Aerator clogged with debris; partially closed shut-off valve; kinked supply line. | Clean or replace aerator; ensure shut-off valves are fully open; check supply lines for kinks. |
| Faucet Drips or Leaks | Loose connections; worn-out cartridge. | Check and tighten all connections; if dripping persists, the ceramic cartridge may need replacement (contact support). |
| Sprayer Does Not Retract Fully | Hose weight improperly positioned or obstructed; hose kinked. | Adjust the position of the hose weight; ensure the hose is free from obstructions or kinks under the sink. |
| Water Temperature Not Adjusting | Hot or cold water supply valve closed; issues with the mixing cartridge. | Ensure both hot and cold water supply valves are fully open. If the problem persists, contact customer support. |
