Installation
TO INSTALL FAUCET: Be sure sink or mounting surface is clean and dry. Place deck gasket on bottom of faucet and insert faucet supplies down through deck holes. Center deck gasket and faucet on sink. Tighten mounting nuts from below deck. Carefully trim excess deck gasket. Make connections to your hot and cold water supplies.
TO INSTALL HOSE AND SPRAY: Place a bead of plumber's putty under the rim of the spray escutcheon. Install spray head escutcheon and tighten locknut by hand, from below the deck. Feed spray hose down through spray head escutcheon, apply tape to the spray hose nipple and screw into faucet.

IMPORTANT:
Pipe chips, sand, stones, and other solids found in new and renovated plumbing can damage the sealing surface of the cartridge and cause a leak. To avoid damage, DO NOT OPERATE THE VALVE until you have followed these instructions:
1.After installing and connecting the faucet turn the valve on in the full cold position (handle pointing to the right) and turn on the cold supply for 15 seconds.
2.Without closing the valve turn to the full hot position (handle pointing to the left) and turn on the hot supply for 15 seconds.
3.Close the valve, unscrew aerator from the end of the spout and clean the cone screen.
4.Replace aerator.
5.Check the system for leaks.
Maintenance
Your new Moen faucet will give good service for an extended period of time. Should foreign materials in the system affect its operation, routine repairs can be easily made.
If your faucet drips from the spout end or leaks up through the handle, follow "Disassembly" instructions and replace the cartridge. If your faucet leaks from either the top or bottom of the spout hub, replace
MT170
