Care and Maintenance
Proper care will help maintain the matte black finish and ensure the longevity of your Hansgrohe mixer.
Cleaning Instructions:
- Use only mild soap and water with a soft cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals (e.g., ammonia-based, bleach-based) as these can damage the matte black finish and internal components.
- Rinse thoroughly with clean water after cleaning and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
- Regularly clean the aerator to remove any mineral deposits that may affect water flow. The aerator can typically be unscrewed by hand or with a special tool (if provided).
General Maintenance:
- Periodically check all connections for leaks and tighten if necessary.
- If water flow becomes restricted, clean the aerator. If the issue persists, consult a professional plumber.
