Mounting The Faucet - Omnifilter SFM3 Instructions D'installation

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
2. Selecting the Faucet Location
NOTE: The drinking water faucet should be positioned with function,
convenience, and appearance in mind. An adequate flat area is
required to allow faucet base to rest securely. The faucet fits through a
3/4-inch hole. Most sinks have pre-drilled 1
holes that may be used for faucet installation. If these pre-drilled holes
cannot be used or are in an inconvenient location, it will be necessary
to drill a 3/4-inch hole in the sink to accommodate the faucet.
CAUTION
This procedure may generate dust which can cause severe
irritation if inhaled or come in contact with the eyes. The use of safety
glasses and respirator for this procedure is recommended.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to drill through an all-porcelain sink. If you
have an all-porcelain sink, mount the faucet in pre-drilled sprayer hole
or drill through countertop next to sink.
CAUTION
When drilling through a countertop, make sure the area
below the drilled area is free of wiring and piping. Make certain that
you have ample room to make the proper connections to the bottom
of the faucet.
CAUTION
Do not drill through a countertop that is more than
one inch thick.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to drill through a tiled, marble, granite or
similar countertop. Consult a plumber or the countertop manufacturer
for advice or assistance.
A) Line bottom of sink with newspaper to prevent metal shavings,
parts, or tools from falling down drain.
B)
Place masking tape over the area to be drilled to prevent scratches
if drill bit slips.
C) Mark hole with center punch. Use a 1/4-inch drill bit for a
pilot hole.
D)
Using a 3/4-inch drill bit, drill a hole completely through the sink.
Smooth the rough edges with a file.
