Maintenance

To maintain the finish and performance of your KOHLER Occasion faucet spout, follow these guidelines:

• Cleaning: Clean the spout regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can damage the Vibrant Polished Nickel finish.
• Spot Cleaning: For water spots or fingerprints, use a mild soap solution and rinse thoroughly with clean water, then dry with a soft cloth.
• Avoid Damage: Do not use cleaners containing ammonia, bleach, or acid. These substances can corrode the finish over time.

Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your faucet spout. For more complex problems, please contact KOHLER customer support.

• Low Water Flow: Check if the water supply valves are fully open. Inspect the aerator for any debris or mineral buildup and clean if necessary.

• Finish Discoloration: Ensure you are using only mild, non-abrasive cleaners. Harsh chemicals can damage the finish.
