Installation (Setup)
The KENES LJ-9055A-4 faucet is designed for easy DIY installation. Follow these steps:
- Prepare the Sink: Ensure the sink hole is clean and free of debris. For single-hole installations, no deck plate is needed. For 3-hole sinks, use the included 6-inch deck plate.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet into the sink hole. From underneath the sink, secure it with the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut).
- Connect Water Supply Lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding connections on the faucet and your water supply valves. Hand-tighten first, then use a wrench for a quarter turn.
- Install Pop-Up Drain: Follow the instructions provided with the pop-up drain assembly to install it into the sink drain opening. Ensure a watertight seal.
- Test for Leaks: Once all connections are made, slowly turn on the main water supply and check for any leaks. Tighten connections as necessary.

Operation
Water Flow and Temperature Control
The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Move the handle forward for cold water and backward for hot water. The handle operates with a 90° forward rotation, allowing installation in tighter spaces without backsplash clearance issues.
Sprayer Functions
The pull-down sprayer head offers three distinct functions:
- Soft Bubble Stream: Rotate the bottom of the sprayer head to activate a gentle, aerated stream.
- Strong Spray: Rotate the bottom of the sprayer head to switch to a powerful spray for efficient cleaning.
- Upper Water Spray (Gargle Function): Gently slide the top button on the sprayer head to activate the upward water jet, ideal for gargling or quick rinsing without splashing.

360° Swivel Spout
The heavy-duty spout rotates 360 degrees, providing a full range of motion for increased flexibility and convenience in your bathroom sink.

Micro-Bubble Water Technology
The micro-bubble water mode generates oxygen-rich bubbles (1-100µm diameter) that enhance cleaning effectiveness and provide a skin-moisturizing effect. This mode improves lipstick cleaning by 20%, foundation liquid cleaning by 41%, and skin moisturizing effect by 25%.

Maintenance
Cleaning the Faucet
To maintain the brushed gold 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 finish.
Cleaning the Pop-Up Drain
The included pop-up drain can be unscrewed from above the deck for easy cleaning of accumulated debris. Regularly remove and clean the drain to ensure proper water flow and hygiene.
