Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation. It is recommended to have basic plumbing knowledge or consult a professional if unsure.
- Prepare the Faucet: Remove the rubber washer, metal washer, and lock nut from the faucet body.
- Position the Deck Plate: Place the deck plate over the sink's installation hole. This is used for 1 or 3-hole installations.
- Install the Faucet: Fit the faucet into the sink's installation hole, ensuring the hoses pass through correctly.
- Secure the Faucet: Reinstall the rubber washer, then the metal washer, and finally the lock nut from underneath the sink. Tighten by hand first, adjust the faucet to the correct position, then further tighten the lock nut with a screwdriver.
- Connect Water Lines:
- Connect the pull-down hose to the water outlet pipe.
- Screw the braided tube with red threads onto the hot water angle valve.
- Screw the braided tube with blue threads onto the cold water angle valve.
- Use a wrench to securely tighten all connections.
- Install the Weight Ball: Unscrew the weight ball's screw, open the weight ball, and attach it to the marked position on the pull-down hose. Securely close and screw the weight ball.
- Flush the System: Remove the spray head from the pull-down hose. Turn on the faucet for 1 minute to flush out any debris from the water lines. Turn off the handle and reassemble the spray head.

Operating Instructions
Your Ibergrif K22137 faucet is designed for ease of use and versatility.
- Water Flow Control: Use the single handle to control water flow and temperature. Move the handle up for increased flow and down for decreased flow. Move left for hot water and right for cold water.
- Pull-Down Sprayer: The sprayer head can be pulled down from the faucet spout for extended reach, making it easier to clean the sink or fill large pots.
- 3 Spray Modes: The sprayer head features three distinct spray modes:
- Stream Mode: Provides a steady, aerated stream for filling pots and general washing.
- Spray Mode: Delivers a powerful spray for rinsing dishes and cleaning the sink.
- Pause Mode: Temporarily stops water flow, useful when moving the sprayer between tasks without turning off the main handle.
- 360° Swivel: The faucet spout can rotate 360 degrees, offering flexibility and convenience for various kitchen tasks.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the faucet regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the brushed nickel finish.
- Spray Holes: The spray head features touch-clean rubber nozzles. To remove mineral buildup, simply wipe the nozzles with your finger or a soft brush.
- Ceramic Cartridge: The faucet is equipped with a drip-free ceramic cartridge, tested for up to 5,000,000 cycles. If leaks occur from the handle, the cartridge may need replacement.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

| Leaks from Handle | Worn ceramic cartridge. | Replace the ceramic cartridge. |
| Water Drips from Spout | Faulty cartridge or mineral buildup. | Clean the spray holes. If dripping persists, replace the cartridge. |
| Sprayer Head Does Not Retract Fully | Weight ball improperly positioned or hose obstructed. | Adjust the position of the weight ball on the hose. Ensure the hose path under the sink is clear of obstructions. |
