General Installation Steps:
- Preparation: Ensure the dishwasher is turned off and disconnected from the main power supply. Turn off the water supply to the dishwasher if necessary.
- Access: Locate the lever or component where the cap needs to be replaced. This may require opening a panel or accessing an internal mechanism.
- Remove Old Cap: Carefully remove the existing cap. This might involve unscrewing, prying, or simply pulling it off, depending on its design. Note how the old cap was attached.

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your GROHE Lever Cap:
- Cleaning: Clean the chrome surface regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive chrome cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive pads, or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the finish.

- Avoid Impact: Protect the cap from impacts or heavy objects that could scratch or dent the metal surface.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cap does not fit. | Incorrect model or misalignment during installation. | Verify the model number (43054000) matches your requirement. Re-align and attempt installation carefully. Do not force. |
| Cap feels loose after installation. | Not fully seated or securing mechanism (if any) not engaged. | Ensure the cap is pushed or screwed completely into place. If it continues to be loose, the underlying component might be worn, or the cap itself could be defective. |
