The guide explains faucet mounting with clamp nuts and hoses, adjusting handle alignment and tension to prevent backsplash interference, and configuring optional accessories such as side spray, soap/lotion dispensers, air switches, and dual-port air gaps. It also covers aerator cleaning to address debris buildup and maintain proper flow.","| |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| TRADITIONAL KITCHEN AND PREP FAUCET INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |  | Kitchen Model \\#s: 4100-12\u003Cbr>4100-18 4200 4300\u003Cbr>Prep Model \\#s:\u003Cbr>470048004900 |  |\n| | \u003Cbr>4200 4300\u003Cbr>|  |  |\n|  | |  | |\n|  | 4800 4900 |  |  |\n\nBEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR INSTALLATION:  \n\n| \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>1 2 3 |  | | 4  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Turn o water supply.

Choose to have the handle on left, front or right. Your faucet is factory configured for the most common positions-a front and right side installation. To reverse this and have the handle positioned on the left, connect the hose for cold water to the hot supply and the hose for hot water to the cold supply. This will maintain the relationship of pulling the handle for hot water or pushing for cold water.  \nFAUCET INSTALLATION  \nRemove clamp nut (A) and washer (B) from threaded shroud (C) .  \n\n|  |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| \u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>\u003Cbr>Fit flexible hoses (D) and rigid sidespray tube (E) through hole on counter or sink.

We recommend cleaning one week after installation, then a minimum of once of year thereafter. To remove the debris, follow the steps below.  \n1. Gently unscrew and remove spout tip (A) by hand.  \n2. Remove O-ring (B). To remove aerator (C), push with finger from bottom.  \n3. Thoroughly rinse aerator with water until all debris is removed.  \n4. Place aerator, then O-ring back into spout tip.  \n5. Gently screw spout tip, by hand, snuggly back onto spout.  \nINSTALL OPTIONAL SOAP/LOTION DISPENSER  \n\n| \u003Cbr>2. |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| COUNTER OR SINK | | 1-3/8”HOLE |\n|  | |  |\n| Fit dispenser body through 1-3/8”hole on counter or sink.
