Installation Instructions
Follow these steps carefully for proper installation.
- Prepare the sink: Ensure sink is clean and mounting holes are clear. For 3-hole sinks, use the deck plate to cover extra holes.
- Insert faucet: Place faucet through the center hole (or use deck plate for alignment). From underneath, attach the mounting hardware following the included diagram.
- Connect water supply: Attach flexible lines to hot and cold water shut-off valves using plumber's tape on threads. Hand-tighten, then use wrench for a quarter turn—do not overtighten.
- Attach spray head hose: Connect the hose from the spray head to the faucet body connection under the sink. Ensure it is secure.
- Check for leaks: Slowly turn on water supply valves. Check all connections for leaks. Tighten if necessary.
- Install aerator: Screw aerator onto the end of the spout by hand.
WARNING! Turn off water supply before installation. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks.
Operation Guide
Using your KALLSJÖN faucet:
- Turning water on/off: Lift handle up to start water flow; push down to stop.
- Adjusting temperature: Move handle left for hot water, right for cold, or center for mixed temperature.
- Using pull-out spray head: Pull the head downward from its dock. Press the button on the head to switch between stream and spray modes.
- Retracting hose: Gently guide the hose back; it will retract automatically into place.
- Swiveling spout: Rotate the spout left or right as needed for sink access.
Tip: Avoid pulling the hose at an extreme angle to prolong its life.
Maintenance & Cleaning
Regular care ensures optimal performance.
- Cleaning: Wipe with a soft, damp cloth and mild detergent. Rinse and dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals.
- Aerator cleaning: Unscrew aerator periodically to remove mineral deposits. Soak in vinegar if clogged, rinse, and reinstall.
- Spray head maintenance: Check hose for kinks. Clean spray head holes with a soft brush if water flow decreases.
- Cartridge: The ceramic disc cartridge requires no regular maintenance. If leaking occurs, it may need replacement.
CAUTION! Never use acidic or chloride-based cleaners. Avoid scratching the surface.
