4. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your Hansgrohe ShowerSelect Thermostat, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Clean the brushed black chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid using cleaners containing alcohol, acids, or abrasive particles, as these can damage the surface.
- Descaling: If limescale builds up around the buttons or handle, use a descaling agent specifically designed for bathroom fixtures, following the manufacturer's instructions. Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning.
