OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The lever handles control the flow of hot and cold water to the faucet. Moving the handle forward opens
the cartridge and causes water to flow from the spout. Rotate the handle on the right side of the faucet
forward for cold water. Rotate the handle on the left side of the faucet forward for hot water. The degree of
handle opening determines the volume of water flow. Returning the handle to the original position away
from 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
PROBLEM
Faucet leaks underneath
handle.
Water does not completely
shut off.
Faucet leaks around
aerator.
Faucet has an improper
water pattern.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
Bonnet has come loose or o-ring on

Rubber valve seat is dirty, stuck,
or broken.

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. 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
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. 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.
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.
