5. Maintenance

To maintain the appearance and functionality of your FORIOUS faucet, follow these simple cleaning guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Wipe the faucet with a soft, damp cloth to remove water spots and fingerprints.
• Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish and surface treatment.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your faucet, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the aerator is clogged with debris. Unscrew and clean it. Also, ensure the water supply valves are fully open. The dual aerator system allows adaptation to high/low water pressure.
• Leaking from Spout: Ensure the handle is fully closed. If leaking persists, the ceramic disc cartridge may need inspection or replacement. The faucet is designed for drip-free durability.
• Leaking from Base: Check the tightness of the mounting nut under the sink. Ensure all connections to the supply lines are secure. The CUPC-certified supply lines include a built-in sealing ring to prevent leaks.
• Water Temperature Issues: Verify that both hot and cold water supply lines are correctly connected and that the angle stop valves are fully open.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact FORIOUS customer support.
