OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING
This faucet is a single temperature faucet. Depending on
what you hooked the faucet to, it will either be all COLD or
all HOT water.
Turn faucet handle to the left to turn on, to the right to turn
water off.
To get a blended temperature, you must have two spigot
faucets installed, one hot and one cold. Place plug in the
sink basin, turn on the hot and cold water to fill the basin.
Adjust the water temperature in the basin by adding more
or less hot or cold water.
Clean periodically with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners,
steel wool, and harsh chemicals as these will dull the finish
and void your warranty.
PROBLEM: Leaks underneath handle.
POSSIBLE CAUSE: Bonnet has come loose or O-ring on
cartridge is dirty or twisted.
CORRECTIVE ACTION:
1. Move the handle to the off position. Unscrew the handle
screw and remove the handle.
2. Tighten the bonnet by turning it clockwise. Move the
cartridge stem to the on position. The leak should stop
draining out from around the cartridge stem.
3. If the leak does not stop, shut off the water supply.
Remove the bonnet by turning it counter-clockwise. Lift
out the cartridge valve. Inspect the larger O-ring on the
cartridge bonnet and the smaller O-ring on the cartridge
stem. Remove any debris from the O-rings. If either O-ring
is twisted, straighten it out. If either O-ring is damaged,
replace the cartridge by calling Customer Service.
4. Position the cartridge back into the faucet body. Make
sure the ridges on the two sides of the cartridge bonnet
fit into the grooves on the two sides of the faucet body.
Tightly screw the bonnet onto the faucet body.

1. Shut off the water supply to the faucet that leaks.
2. Remove the handle on the problem side. Loosen the
bonnet by turning it counterclockwise. Lift out the
cartridge assembly.
3. Inspect the rubber valve seat in the faucet body. If there is
debris or brass scrap on the surface of the seat, remove
it. If the rubber seat is stuck tightly in the water inlet hole,
push it gently with a fingertip so that it moves up and down
smoothly. The spring (smaller end up) must be replaced
underneath the valve seat. If the rubber valve seat is worn
out or broken, replace the cartridge by calling Customer
Service.
