remove the aerator (4.1) from the
spout (4.2) of the faucet body (A).
Do not lose the gasket (4.3) in the
aerator (4.1). Turn on the water

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The lever handle controls the ow 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 ow from the spout. The degree of handle opening determines the volume of water ow. Returning the handle to the original
position (toward the faucet body) stops the ow of water.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Clean periodically with a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and harsh chemicals as these will dull the nish and void your warranty.

The leak should stop draining out from around the cartridge stem.
3. Shut off the water supply. Remove the bonnet by turning it counterclockwise. Lift out the
cartridge valve. Inspect the larger O-ring on the cartridge bonnet and the smaller O-ring
on the cartridge stem. Remove any debris from the O-rings. If either O-ring is twisted,
straighten it out. If either O-ring is damaged, replace the cartridge by calling customer
service.
