Using the Brizo Charlotte Widespread Lavatory Faucet is easy. First, if you haven't already, order the handles separately and install them according to the included instructions. The faucet is designed for a 3 - hole installation with an 8 - 16' range and can handle a deck thickness of up to 2 1/2'. Once installed, turn the handles to control the water flow. The hidden aerator will ensure a gentle and efficient water stream. For maintenance, regularly wipe the faucet with a soft, damp cloth to keep its luxurious finish. Avoid using abrasive cleaners as they may damage the high - quality metal. The ceramic cartridge is durable, but if you notice any issues with water flow or temperature control, it might need servicing. The metal pop - up should be checked occasionally to make sure it's working properly. This faucet is CEC certified, so you can enjoy water - efficient use and do your part for the environment.
