Installation

Unpack and inspect all parts. Ensure sink or countertop has a standard 1.2" (approx. 3.5cm) mounting hole.

Prepare the sink: Clean the area around the mounting hole.
Insert the faucet: Feed the supply lines and hose through the mounting hole from above.
Secure from below: Attach the mounting plate and tighten the mounting nut firmly by hand, then use a wrench for a final quarter-turn.
Connect water supply: Attach the flexible supply lines to the hot and cold water shut-off valves using the provided connectors. Hand-tighten, then use an adjustable wrench for a secure fit (do not overtighten).
Attach the spray head: Connect the hose to the faucet body outlet and click the spray head into its dock.

WARNING! Turn off the main water supply before installation. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent leaks. Do not overtighten fittings.

First-Time Setup

After installation, perform initial checks and adjustments.

Turn on water supply: Slowly open the hot and cold water shut-off valves.
Check for leaks: Inspect all connections (faucet base, supply lines, spray head hose) for any drips. Tighten if necessary.
Purge air from lines: Run both hot and cold water for a minute to clear any debris or air from the pipes.
Test handle operation: Move the lever smoothly from off to full flow, and from cold to hot. The motion should be even.
Test spray function: Pull out the spray head, press the button to switch between stream and spray modes, and ensure it retracts properly.

CAUTION! Check for leaks thoroughly. A small drip can cause significant water damage over time.

Controls and Operation

Operation is intuitive via the single lever and spray head button.

Lever Control: - Left/Right: Adjusts temperature. Move left for colder water, right for hotter. - Up/Down: Controls water flow. Lift the lever up to increase flow, push down to decrease and turn off.

Spray Head: - Pull: Gently pull the spray head from its dock to extend the hose. - Button: Press the button on the spray head to toggle between a concentrated stream (for filling) and a wide spray (for rinsing). - Retract: Gently guide the hose back; the weight in the spray head will help it retract into the dock.

Tip: For precise temperature control, move the lever gradually. The ceramic cartridge provides accurate mixing.

Connecting to Water Supply

Requires standard hot and cold water lines with shut-off valves.

Identify lines: Hot water line is typically on the left (facing the sink), cold on the right.
Use provided hoses: Connect the hose marked "H" or with a red collar to the hot water valve. Connect the hose marked "C" or with a blue collar to the cold water valve.
Hand-tighten first: Screw the compression nuts onto the valve threads by hand until snug.
Final tighten: Use an adjustable wrench to give each nut a final quarter to half turn. Do not overtighten.

Tip: Wrap plumbing tape around the valve threads before connecting for a better seal, if desired.

Using the Spray Function

The pull-out spray head enhances sink functionality.

To extend: Simply pull the spray head downward from the spout. The hose will extend smoothly.
To switch modes: While water is flowing, press the button on the spray head. You will feel it click between positions. - Stream Mode: Solid jet of water for filling containers. - Spray Mode:
To retract: Gently guide the spray head back towards the spout. Allow the retraction mechanism to pull it the final distance and click into the dock.

For best hose life: Avoid kinking the hose. Do not pull it at an extreme angle.

WARNING! Do not let the spray head hang by the hose when not in use, as this can strain the connection. Ensure it is docked.

Care & Cleaning

Regular cleaning maintains appearance and function.

Unplug before cleaning. Use dry cloth only; no liquids or aerosols.

Daily cleaning: Wipe the faucet with a soft, damp cloth and dry immediately to prevent water spots.

For stubborn deposits: Use a mild, non-abrasive cleaner diluted in water. Apply with a soft cloth, rinse with clean water, and dry.

Aerator cleaning: If water flow decreases, mineral deposits may be clogging the aerator in the spray head. Unscrew the aerator (if removable), soak in vinegar, rinse, and reinstall.

Hose care: Periodically check the hose for kinks or wear. Wipe it clean with a damp cloth.

CAUTION! Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powders, or harsh chemical cleaners (like bleach or oven cleaner) on the chrome finish, as they will cause permanent damage. Never use excessive force on the lever.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Possible Cause Corrective Action

Water leaking from base of faucet Loose mounting nut or worn cartridge Tighten the mounting nut under the sink. If leak persists, the ceramic cartridge may need replacement.

Spray head does not retract fully Kinked hose or dirty dock Check hose for kinks and straighten. Clean the docking area of debris.

Low water pressure from spray head Clogged aerator or supply valve partially closed Clean the aerator in the spray head. Ensure both hot and cold water shut-off valves are fully open.

Lever is stiff or hard to move Mineral buildup or cartridge issue Clean around the lever base. If stiffness continues, the cartridge may need servicing.

Water temperature fluctuates Supply line issues or mixing valve problem Check that hot and cold water pressures are balanced. The issue may be with your home's plumbing, not the faucet.

Spray head button stuck or not switching Mineral deposits or mechanical fault Soak the spray head in a vinegar solution to dissolve deposits. If problem remains, the spray head may need replacement.

Important: For issues requiring disassembly or part replacement (like the cartridge), refer to the assembly guide or contact IKEA support. Do not attempt repairs beyond your skill level.
