Water temp should not exceed 140° F (60° C) or scalding may occur.Compulsory
CompulsoryCautionDo NotDo NotCautionDo not allow the product to freeze or become wet. Do not install outdoors. Property damage may result.Warranty does not cover damage to the product due to freezing.Do not allow any part of the product to be dropped or forcefully struck. The operation of the product may be affected resulting in fire, electrical shock, or property damage.Always use fresh batteries in unit. Do not mix new and old batteries or use batteries of different brands together. Damage to the product may result from battery leakage.Do not install product on a weak or easily damaged surface. Improperly secured items may damage may damage surfaces if they come loose. Installation on wallpaper or similar wall treatments may result in tearing.Once the adhesive film has been used it cannot be removed and reused. Use a new piece after cleaning surface.If the product will not be used for an extended period of time (such as during a vacation), please turn off the faucet directly to ensure that water will not be wasted and that property damage will not occur.CompulsoryDo not install the remote control where it can be tripped over. It is most commonly installed on the toe plate just under the cabinet. If the remote control is installed on a plastic vinyl chloride surface, use the adhesive base strips to secure it in place.In order not to damage the floor or cabinet surface while replacing the batteries in the remote control, use gentle pressure and move slowly to remove it.Adhesive Base StripsSo cold!CloseSlowly4 5Getting StartedGetting StartedBatteryFirm! Tight!It is important to check for leaks and loose pipe connections at least once every two years. Repair any leaks and tighten any loose fittings, or property damage may occur.Keep the batteries in a safe place, beyond the reach of children. If ingested, contact a physician immediately.Before cleaning the filter, make sure the hot water valve is closed and the solenoid valve has cooled. Otherwise scalding may occur.CloseOpenIt is suggested that, after using the hot water, the faucet should be returned to cold before turning off. This is to prevent the next person from scalding themselves on hot water left in the pipes.

Cords may melt and cause product to malfunction6 7
Be CarefulDo not install the remote control or the controller on a metal surface, such as stainless steel. Product may malfunction if the signal is reflected or hindered. Likewise, it may not do well in a kitchen with numerous stainless steel appliances.Do not cover the remote control or the controller with metal such as aluminum foil. Metal will reflect the signal, causing the product to malfunction.Test the signal before you decide upon a permanent location for the product. Make sure it will work properly. The remote control should be within 3 feet (1 meter) of the controller.Make sure the remote control is secure and in a safe place before using. If it falls or is kicked, it may be damaged. It should not be installed where it might become a trip hazard.If the remote control is to be installed on a plastic vinyl chloride surface, use the adhesive strips as a base to secure it. This should prevent discoloration of the surrounding material. The bottom of the next page has a diagram showing the placement of the strips.Do not install the remote control in front of any air vents or heaters.Do not use near an electric converter or transformer.

TroubleShootingShut-off valve Main ValveShut-off valve(both at the coldand hot sides)CLOSEHow to stop the water in case of an emergencyIf a leak occurs from the solenoid valve to the faucet, turn off the shut-off valves. If there is a leak elsewhere, shut-off the main valve.Close the shut-off valves at the cold and hot sides.If this cannot stop the water flow, close the main valve.In case of no battery powerIf the remote control battery is used upManual SwitchManual SwitchTroubleShootingThis operation will open the cold-side solenoid valve, so that cold water will flow out. While there is no battery power you may continue to use the faucet by turning it off and on with its handle. After the batteries are replaced, the faucet will return to normal operation.Push the manual switch under the controller.The manual switch must be pushed within 90 minutes of the power failure. Otherwise you will have to wait until the batteries are replaced.When there is no battery power, the remote control cannot be used.In this period, only cold water can be used.This operation will open the cold/hot-side solenoid valve and water will flow out. Push it again to stop the water flow. After the solenoid valves are open, you can use the faucet as a regular manually operated one.For information on how to replace the remote control battery, please refer to pg. 15Push the manual switch under the controller.If you use the manual switch, the automatic shut-off of water is also disabled.Troubleshooting18 19
