Maintenance
Regular cleaning and proper care will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your Geberit Xeno 2 washbasin cabinet.
- Cleaning the Surfaces: Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaning agent. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or scouring powders, as these can damage the high-gloss lacquer finish.
- Drying: After cleaning, wipe the surfaces dry with a clean, soft cloth to prevent water spots and streaks.
- Spills: Immediately wipe up any spills, especially water or other liquids, to prevent moisture penetration, despite the cabinet's moisture-resistant properties.
- Hinges: Periodically check the door hinges for tightness. If they become loose, gently tighten the screws. Avoid over-tightening.
Troubleshooting
Should you encounter any issues with your washbasin cabinet, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:
- Door Not Closing Properly: Check if anything is obstructing the door. Inspect the hinges for any misalignment or looseness. Adjust the hinges if necessary (refer to the hinge manufacturer's instructions for specific adjustment procedures).
- Cabinet Feels Loose on Wall: This indicates that the mounting screws may have loosened over time. Carefully re-tighten the mounting screws. If the issue persists, consult a qualified installer to ensure the wall anchors and mounting are secure.
- Scratches or Damage to Finish: For minor scratches, specialized repair kits for high-gloss lacquer finishes may be available. For significant damage, professional repair or replacement of the affected part may be required.
