Setup and Installation
This faucet is designed for deck-mount installation on a single-hole sink. Ensure you have the correct tools and follow all local plumbing and electrical codes.
Pre-Installation Checklist:
- Verify that your sink has a standard single-hole opening.
- Ensure adequate space under the sink for connections and wiring.
- Confirm that the electrical outlet is properly grounded and matches the faucet's voltage.
- Turn off the main water supply and electrical power before beginning installation.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Sink: Clean the sink area where the faucet will be installed.
- Mount the Faucet: Insert the faucet base into the sink hole. Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided mounting hardware (washer and nut). Ensure the faucet is stable and properly aligned.
- Connect Water Supply: Connect the cold water inlet hose from the faucet to your cold water supply line. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
- Electrical Connection: Connect the faucet's power cord to a grounded electrical outlet. Ensure the cable is routed safely, avoiding contact with water or sharp edges.
- Test for Leaks: Slowly turn on the main water supply and check all connections for leaks.
- Test Electrical Functionality: Turn on the electrical power. Open the faucet to allow water to flow, then activate the heating function.

Operating Instructions
Operating your instant electric heated faucet is straightforward.
Water Flow and Temperature Control:
- Turn On Water: Rotate the handle to open the water flow.
- Adjust Temperature: The faucet will automatically heat the water. The digital display will show the current water temperature. Adjust the handle position to control the water flow rate, which in turn affects the heating efficiency and final temperature. A lower flow rate generally results in hotter water, up to the maximum set temperature.
- Turn Off Water: Rotate the handle back to the closed position to stop water flow and heating.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your faucet.
- Cleaning: Clean the exterior of the faucet with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the finish.
- Aerator Cleaning: Periodically unscrew and clean the aerator at the end of the spout to remove any mineral deposits or debris that may affect water flow.
- Descaling: In areas with hard water, mineral buildup can occur inside the heating element. If you notice a decrease in heating efficiency or water flow, consult a qualified technician for descaling.
- Winterization: If the faucet is in an unheated area subject to freezing temperatures, disconnect the water supply and drain the faucet completely to prevent damage from freezing.
