INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (Continued)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The lever handle controls the flow of hot and cold water to the faucet. Rotate the handle out and forward
for cold water. Rotate the handle out and backward for hot water. Moving the handle outward opens the
cartridge and causes water to flow from the spout. The degree of handle opening determines the volume
of water flow. Returning the handle to the original position toward the faucet body stops the flow of water.
CARE AND CLEANING
Clean periodically with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and harsh chemicals as these
will dull the finish and void your warranty.
TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION
Faucet leaks
underneath
handle.
Bonnet has come loose or
o-ring on cartridge is dirty
or twisted.
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 counterclockwise. Lift out the cartridge valve. Inspect the
larger o-ring on the caartridge 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. 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.
5. Reinstall the handle.
Water does not
completely shut
off.
Rubber valve seat is dirty,
stuck, or broken.
1. Shut off the water supply.
2. Remove the handle from the faucet body. 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
it moves up and down smoothly. The spring (smaller end up) must
be placed back underneath the valve seat. If the rubber valve seat is
worn out or broken, 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.
5. Reinstall the handle.
10. Once the installation is complete, remove the spray
head (10.1) from the spray hose (10.2) to flush the
water lines. Do not lose the gaskets (10.3) from inside
the spray hose (10.2). Turn on the water supply and
allow both hot and cold water to run for at least one
minute to flush away any debris that could cause
damage to internal parts. While the water is running,
check for leaks. If a leak occurs, gently tighten the nut
on the connection that is leaking. Turn off the water
and screw the spray head (10.1) back onto the spray
hose (10.2).
