“FRONT” on base plate (KN-109) with front of sink. Push faucet
supplies through holes in sink. Secure faucet to sink by tightening

putty or sealant to make proper seal under base.)
3. Connect hot supply to left tube and cold supply to right tube us-
ing appropriate connectors.

prevent foreign matter, i.e. copper chips, sand, stones, etc.

aerator and turn cold valve handle on to full cold position, open
cold supply. Without closing, turn hot valve handle to full hot
position and open hot supply. Let water run in hot only and cold
only positions long enough to flush supply lines thoroughly. If
equipped with a hose and spray, direct spray head into sink and
activate spray. Shut off faucet and replace aerator. Check for leaks.
