### Step-by-Step Instructions
1. **Turn off the water supply.** Locate the shut-off valves under the sink and turn them clockwise to close them.

7. **Turn on the water supply.** Open the shut-off valves under the sink to turn the water supply back on.
8. **Check for leaks.** Turn on the faucet and check for any leaks. If you see any leaks, tighten the nuts on the water lines until the leaks stop.
