Step 1: Installing the faucet

Shut off the water supply. Place faucet (B) through the hole in the countertop. Secure the faucet (B) to the countertop using the rubber washer (C), metal washer (D), and mounting nut (E) provided. Tighten screws (F) to a maximum of 2 N.m.

Step 2: Securing the faucet assembly

Push the quick connector (I) firmly upward and attach it to the receiving block (a). Pull down moderately to ensure the connection has been made.

Step 3: Securing the faucet assembly

Install the weight clip (H) at the point of the hose marking "weight here". Insert the weight (G) onto the weight clip (H) by sliding it down onto the weight clip (H).

Step 4: Connect waterlines to main valve

Attach waterlines to angle stops and tighten until snug. Turn on angle stops and check for leaks (DO NOT TURN FAUCET ON).

NOTE: Please make sure filter washers are installed before connecting to the main valve.

Connect the filter water inlet pipe (b) into the end of the filtration manifold (not including). Pull moderately to ensure the connection has been made.

NOTE: 3/8" typical connection attached. 1/4" connector / reducer included in the box for A-typical connections.

Step 5: Flushing and checking for leaks

Unfiltered Water Function

Pull the hose assembly out of the spout and remove the spray head (A) by unscrewing it from the hose in a counterclockwise direction. Hold the end of the hose down into the sink and turn the faucet to the warm position (mixing hot and cold water). Pulling the handle towards yourself turns water to hot; pushing away turns water to cold. Flush water lines for one minute to clear debris. Check for leaks. Re-tighten connections if necessary, but do not overtighten. Reinstall spray head (A) by hand tightening clockwise. NOTE: Ensure washer is installed when attaching spray head to hose.

Filtered Cold Water Function

Ensure the faucet is closed. Do not open the handle outward (as shown in Fig 1). Maintain the state of Fig 1; pulling the handle towards yourself activates filtered water (as shown in Fig 2). Flush water lines for one minute to clear debris. Check for leaks. Maintain the state of Fig 1; pushing the handle away from yourself turns off filtered water (as shown in Fig 2).
