CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The lever handle controls the flow of hot and cold water to the faucet.
Rotate the handle forward for cold water. Rotate the handle backward for hot water. Moving the handle out from the faucet body (to the right) opens the cartridge and
causes water to flow from the spout.The degree of handle opening determines the volume of water flow. Returning the handle to the original position (toward the faucet
body) stops the flow of water.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean periodically with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and harsh chemicals as these will dull the finish and void your warranty.
