KRAUS Touchless Pull-Down Single Handle 18-Inch Kitchen Faucet in Matte Black - KSF-1610MB

Engineered with hands-free activation, the Bolden Sensor Faucet allows you to turn water on and off with the wave of a hand so you can activate it without touching the handle or spout, helping reduce germ transfer during messy tasks like preparing raw foods. The sensor sits on the side of the faucet to help prevent accidental activation, with a built-in timer that stops the flow after 3 minutes to help prevent water waste. The 2-function pull-down sprayhead with Reach technology offers an extended range of motion, and switches from aerated stream to spray for any kitchen task. Heavy-duty construction helps ensure long-lasting use. Comes with batteries, pre-attached water lines, and mounting hardware for ease of installation. Available in multiple finishes, including spot-free options.

Maintenance Tips

• Clean regularly with mild dish soap + warm water and a soft microfiber cloth to maintain the matte black finish.
• Avoid bleach, ammonia, vinegar, and abrasive pads/steel wool to prevent coating damage or discoloration.
• Wipe dry after each use to reduce water spots, fingerprints, and mineral buildup.
• Clean the spray head nozzles regularly to prevent limescale and keep smooth stream/spray switching.
• If flow weakens, briefly soak the aerator in diluted vinegar, then rinse thoroughly (avoid prolonged contact with finished surfaces).
• Keep the sensor area clean and dry so touchless activation stays accurate and responsive.
• Replace batteries as needed to maintain reliable touchless operation performance.
• Do not polish or scrub the surface—this preserves the factory matte texture and wear-resistant coating.
