Care
Trouble Shooting
W
e want to ensure that you get long-lasting
s
atisfaction and pleasure from your GROHE
f
itting. Therefore, please read the following
c
are instructions because damage to the
s
urface and underlying material resulting
f
rom improper treatment is not covered by
o
ur guarantee.
D
o not use any abrasive sponges or scou-
r
ing agents for cleaning. We also advise not
t
o use cleaning agents containing solvent or
a
cid, limescale removers, household vinegar
a
nd cleaning agents with acetic acid. They
a
re aggressive to the surface and will leave
your fitting dull and scratched. As the for-
mulations of commercially available cleanin
g
agents frequently change, we cannot gua-
rantee they will provide the gentle care our
fitting deserves.
Clean the fitting with a little soap and a mois
t
cloth only, then simply rinse off and wipe dry
.
You can avoid lime spots by drying the fittin
g
each time it is used. If lime deposits do oc-
cur, remove them with Grohclean (ref. no.
18 078), our environment-friendly cleaning
liquid. Grohclean is specially formulated to
gently clean the surface of our fittings.
