Installer Tip:
Shut off main water supply before installing new faucet.

Step 1. Remove washer and lock nutShut off the water supply. Remove the old faucet. Clean the mounting surface. Remove the mounting hardware (B) from the faucet body (A).
Step 2. Installing the faucetInsert the faucet through the hole in the sink or countertop. From underneath the sink, attach the seat (B1), rubber washer (B2), metal washer (B3), and nut (B4). Lock nut (B4) into position by tightening screws (B5).
Step 3. Making the water supply connectionsPush the quick connector (2) firmly upward and attach it to the receiving block (1). Pull down moderately to ensure the connection has been made.
If it is necessary to remove the quick connector (2), squeeze the tabs on the hose and then pull down to disconnect.
Step 4. Making the water supply connectionsThread the nut (1) on the supply line onto the outlet of the water supply valve and tighten with a wrench. Do not overtighten.
NOTE: Please make sure filter washers are installed beforeconnecting to the main valve.
Step 5. Flushing and checking for leaksPull the hose assembly out of the spout and remove the spray head by unscrewing it from the hose in a counterclockwise direction. Be sure to hold the end of the hose down into the sink and turn the faucet on to the warm position where it mixes hot and cold water.
Flush the water lines for one minute. This flushes away any debris that could cause damage to internal parts. Check for leaks.
Reinstall the spray head by hand tightening it back onto the spray hose.
NOTES:

1. Do not lose the rubber washer (1) when installing the sprayer back on.
