Kitchen Aerator

To complete installation you will need:
• A parent/guardian
• Kitchen Aerator – located in your Kit
• Crescent wrench
• Old towel or rag

Place an old towel or rag over the drain in the sink. This will prevent any washers or grit from the faucet arm falling down the drain.
Remove the old aerator from the faucet. Cover the old aerator with the old towel or rag, and remove using the collapsible wrench.
Using the old toothbrush and rag, clean and dry the threaded area of the faucet thoroughly.
Turn on the water and run for five to 10 seconds. This will flush out any residue that might have come loose inside the faucet.
Remove the Kitchen Aerator from the Kit, and place the washers in the proper place after once again drying the faucet threads.

Note: The flip aerator is designed for use with inside and outside threaded faucets.
– External Threads: Use one (1) rubber washer.
– Internal Threads: Use two (2) rubber washers.

Screw on the new Kitchen Aerator clockwise and hand tighten until snug. Do not over-tighten.
Turn on the faucet and check for leaks. If it leaks, try adding some Teflon Tape to the threads of the aerator. That should do it!

Note: As a safety feature, the aerator will not completely stop the flow of water. This is to prevent buildup of hot water that might pose a threat to children.
