OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The lever handle controls the flow of hot and cold water to the faucet. Rotate the handle up and to the
right for cold water. Rotate the handle up and to the left for hot water. Moving the handle upward from
the faucet body 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 (down
toward the spout on 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

SOLUTION
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. Reinstall the handle.
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. Reinstall the handle.
1. Remove the aerator cover from the spout by turning it counterclockwise and
remove the aerator and gasket. Inspect the black rubber gasket inside
the aerator. The rubber gasket should be flat.
2. Reinstall the gasket and aerator, then replace and tighten the aerator
cover on the spout.
1. Remove the aerator cover from the spout by turning it counterclockwise and
remove the aerator and gasket.
2. Gently flush the small parts inside the aerator to clear away any debris.
3. Reinstall the gasket and aerator, then replace and tighten the aerator
cover on the spout. Ensure all parts are straight and flat.
