Usage Features

Single Handle Control: The faucet features a single handle for convenient and precise control over both water temperature and flow rate. This allows users to easily adjust the water to their desired settings.

Easy Installation: The manual outlines a straightforward installation process, requiring a standard 1 3/8" predrilled hole in the countertop. The design includes a threaded mounting pipe with a mounting nut and screws for secure attachment.

Aerator: The faucet is equipped with an aerator (part 6) that mixes air with water to produce a smooth, splash-free stream. An aerator key (part 10) is included for easy removal and cleaning of the aerator, which is recommended after installation to clear any debris and for periodic maintenance.

Water Supply Lines: The faucet includes hot and cold waterlines that connect to standard angle stops, ensuring compatibility with typical plumbing setups.

Base Trim Ring: A base trim ring (part 7A) is included to provide a finished look at the base of the faucet where it meets the countertop.

Maintenance Features

Trouble-Shooting Guide: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting section to address common issues such as:

  • Leakage under the handle: Often caused by a loose locking nut (4). The solution involves tightening the locking nut with an adjustable wrench after accessing it by removing the handle.
  • Aerator drips or inconsistent water flow: Typically due to a dirty or improperly seated aerator (6). The fix involves unscrewing the aerator with the aerator key (10) and cleaning out debris.
  • Water will not shut off completely: This usually indicates a defective ceramic disc cartridge (5). The solution involves disassembling the handle and trim cap to access and replace the cartridge, checking for cracks.
  • Leaking between spout and body: Can be caused by a loose spout or damaged O-rings on the connector. The recommended action is to tighten the set screw located under the spout.

Cleaning Recommendations: To maintain the faucet's appearance and finish, Kraus recommends cleaning it periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Users are advised to avoid abrasive cleaners, steel wool, and harsh chemicals, as these can dull the finish over time.
