Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your shower set.
- QuickClean Anti-Limescale System: The hand shower is equipped with flexible silicone nozzles. To remove limescale deposits, simply rub your finger over the nozzles. This should be done regularly to maintain a perfect spray pattern.
- Cleaning Surfaces: Clean chrome and white surfaces with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Rinse thoroughly with water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots. Avoid cleaners containing hydrochloric acid, formic acid, chlorine bleach, or acetic acid, as these can damage the finish.
- Hose Maintenance: The Isiflex shower hose is reinforced PVC with rotating nuts to prevent twisting. Periodically check the hose for any signs of wear or damage.
