- Mount the faucet: Insert the faucet body through the mounting hole(s). Secure it from underneath the sink using the provided washer and mounting nut.
- Connect water supply lines: Attach the hot and cold water supply lines to the corresponding connections on the faucet and your home's water supply. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

5. Fonctionnement
5.1. Contrôle du débit et de la température de l'eau
The single lever handle controls both water flow and temperature. Lift the handle to turn on the water and adjust the flow rate. Move the handle left for hot water and right for cold water.
5.2. Fonction de pulvérisation escamotable
The faucet features a pull-down spray head for extended reach and versatility. Pull the spray head down from the spout to use. The spray head offers multiple spray patterns, typically toggled by a button on the spray head itself. A pause feature may also be available to temporarily stop water flow directly from the spray head.
After use, gently guide the spray head back into the spout. The hose weight underneath the sink will assist in smooth retraction. Ensure the spray head is fully seated in the spout for proper alignment.
5.3. Spout Rotation
The faucet spout is designed to rotate 360 degrees, providing flexibility and convenience for various sink tasks.
6. Entretien
6.1. Nettoyage du robinet
To maintain the finish of your Elkay faucet, clean regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
6.2. Entretien de l'aérateur
If water flow decreases or becomes irregular, the aerator may be clogged with debris. Unscrew the aerator from the tip of the spout, clean any mineral deposits or particles, and rinse thoroughly before reattaching.
6.3. Remplacement de la cartouche
The faucet features a removable cartridge for easy repair and replacement. If you experience persistent drips or issues with water temperature control, the cartridge may need to be replaced.
