Your New Kohler Kitchen Faucet
Your new Kohler Kitchen faucet blends classic styling with the ease of
single-handle operation for a unique expression in your kitchen. All
metal construction and one-piece ceramic valving provide trouble-free
operation even under the hardest water conditions.
This system and installation must comply with state and local laws
and regulations.
Care and Cleaning
For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your
KOHLER product:
•Use a mild detergent such as liquid dishwashing soap and warm
water for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners that may scratch
or dull the surface.
•Carefully read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is
safe for use on the material.
•Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area
before applying to the entire surface.
•Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface.
•Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately
after cleaner application. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands
on nearby surfaces.

Optional Temperature Limiting Adjustment
NOTE: Your faucet has the capability to limit the range of
temperatures controlled by lever position. Setting the position of the
locking ring will reduce the quantity of either hot water flow or cold
water flow. If the supplied hot water is higher than is comfortable or
safe, the quantity of cold water flow can be increased relative to the
hot water flow.
Use the following procedure to adjust the limit-temperature locking
ring:
Pry off the plug button using a small flat-blade screwdriver or
equivalent tool
Using a hex wrench, loosen the setscrew and remove the handle.
NOTE: The inner and outer rings have location arrows. These
arrows are aligned with one another when the assembly is shipped.
If the outer ring is rotated clockwise in respect to the inner ring,
cold water flow will be restricted. If the outer ring is rotated
counterclockwise in respect to the inner ring, hot water flow will be
restricted. The handle can still be used to adjust temperature within
the limited range.
Note the position of the outer locking ring relative to the inner
geared ring.
NOTE: Pry the locking ring up equally at either side in order to
remove it from the valve.
