6. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hand shower.
- General Cleaning: Clean the surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth.
- Limescale Removal (QuickClean): The hand shower features QuickClean technology. To remove dirt and limescale deposits from the spray nozzles, simply rub the flexible silicone nubs with your finger. This should be done regularly to maintain spray performance.
- Avoid: Do not use cleaning agents containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid, chlorine bleach, or acetic acid, as these can cause damage. Avoid abrasive sponges or brushes.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Low water flow | Limescale buildup in nozzles | Rub the QuickClean silicone nubs to remove limescale. |
| Low water flow | Partially closed stopcock or clogged filter | Check if the stopcock is fully open. Clean or replace any filters in the water supply line. |
| Leaks at connections | Loose connections or worn seals | Tighten connections. Check and replace rubber seals/washers if damaged. |
