| Function | How to Activate | Best For |

| Spray Mode | Press mode button to activate a wider, aerated spray. | Washing dishes, cleaning sink, rinsing vegetables. |
| Pause Function | Press the button on the spray head while in spray mode (on some models). | Conserving water while scrubbing. |
Tip: To prevent hose kinking, allow it to retract fully and avoid sharp bends.
Proper care will maintain the appearance and function of your faucet.
CAUTION! Never use steel wool or abrasive sponges. Do not leave harsh chemicals in contact with the finish.
| Symptom | Possible Cause | Corrective Action |
|---|---|---|
| Low water pressure | Clogged aerator or supply valve partially closed. | Clean the aerator. Ensure both hot and cold supply valves are fully open. |
| Spray head does not retract | Hose is kinked or weight is incorrectly positioned. | Check hose path for kinks. Ensure the weight is properly attached and can move freely. |
| Water leaks from handle base | Loose handle or worn cartridge. | Tighten the handle set screw. If leak persists, the ceramic cartridge may need replacement. |
| Spray head drips after shut-off | Debris in cartridge or normal pressure release. | Cycle handle on/off quickly 5-6 times to clear debris. A few drops after shut-off is normal. |
| Water temperature fluctuates | Issue with home's water heater or pressure balance. | Check other faucets in home. This is typically a supply issue, not a faucet issue. |
