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.

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 orings.
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.
5. Reinstall the handle.
1. Remove the aerator from the spout on the faucet body. Inspect
the black rubber gasket inside the aerator. The rubber gasket
should be flat.
2. Reinstall the aerator on the spout.
1. Remove the aerator from the spout on the faucet body, then
remove the gasket.
2. Gently flush the small parts inside the aerator to clear away any
debris.
3. Reinstall the gasket, then screw the aerator back onto the spout
and tighten.
