If you have a deck ring assembly, align the faucet assembly in the two slots on the deck ring. align the deck ring gasket and the deck ring on sink, and lower the faucet assembly into the sink. Then push the entire assembly toward the back of the sink as far as possible.

If your deck is more than 1/8" thick, install the mounting bracket with the open side down. Install and slightly tighten the mounting nut with the included mounting tool.

Flushing Instructions:

Pipe chips, stones, and other solids found in new and renovated plumbing can damage the sealing surfaces of the cartridge and cause a leak. To avoid damage to your new faucet, do not turn on the supply valves until you have followed these flushing instructions. Pull hose out of spout receptor, tie a cloth around the hose to keep it from slipping back into the spout receptor. Unscrew the pull-out spout and remove the screen washer.

Turn on supply valves. Direct hose into sink, then turn the faucet on in the full cold position to turn on the cold water supply for 15 to 20 seconds. Turn off the cold supply valve.

Now turn to the hot position and turn on the hot water supply for another 15 to 20 seconds and then turn off the hot supply valve.

Place handle in closed position. Reinstall the screen washer and pull-out spout. Turn on the hot and cold supply valves and test for leaks.
