General Cleaning
Your fitting has a high quality finish
and should be treated with care to
preserve the visible surfaces. All
finishes will wear if not cleaned
correctly. The only safe way to
clean your product is to wipe with
a soft damp cloth. Stains can be
removed using washing up liquid.
All bathroom cleaning products
(powders and liquids) will damage
the surface of your fitting, even
the non-scratch cleaners.
Maintenance
We advise that your fitting is
regularly serviced in hard water
areas to maintain optimum
performance (see map of Hard
Water Regions in the UK overleaf).
If your fitting begins to leak the
following should be carried out;
Isolate both hot and cold water
supplies to the kitchen mixer by
either:
•
Turning the water supply off at the
mains stopcock or
•
Turning off the isolation valves
to the kitchen mixer.

clean nozzles for easy cleaning.
Simply rub your fingers across the
rubber spray jets regularly and before
you turn the shower on to remove

clean your showerhead. Build up of
scale in particularly hard water areas
combined with constant use means

showerhead once a week. To ensure
continued performance the
showerhead needs to be regularly
descaled.
