Instruccions d'instal·lació
The Franke Fast-IN Quick Install System simplifies faucet installation from above the countertop. A 1-3/8-inch hole is required for installation.
- Preparar la pica: Ensure the sink hole is clean and free of debris. If using the 10-inch base plate for a 3-hole sink, place it over the holes.
- Feed Hoses: Feed the hot and cold water supply hoses and the pull-down spray hose through the sink hole from above the countertop.
- Posició de l'aixeta: Place the faucet base onto the sink hole, ensuring it is properly aligned.
- Secure with Fast-IN System: From above the countertop, locate the mounting screws on the Fast-IN faucet base. Use a screwdriver to tighten these screws. As you tighten, two mounting cleets will activate and rise from underneath the countertop, securing the faucet firmly to the mounting surface. Continue tightening until the faucet is stable and secure.
- Connecteu les línies d'aigua: Underneath the sink, connect the hot and cold water supply hoses to the corresponding hot and cold water supply valves. Ensure connections are hand-tight, then use a wrench for a quarter-turn more. Do not overtighten.
- Connecteu la mànega de polvorització: Connect the pull-down spray hose to the quick-connect fitting on the faucet's main body. Ensure it clicks securely into place.
- Pes d'instal·lació: Attach the counterweight to the pull-down spray hose at the indicated position (typically 6-8 inches from the bottom of the loop) to ensure smooth retraction of the spray head.
- Aixeta de prova: Slowly turn on the main water supply. Check for any leaks at all connections. Operate the faucet handle and spray head to ensure proper function.
