3. Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your shower head set. The shower head is equipped with practical nubs for easy lime-scale removal.
- Shower Head Cleaning: To remove lime-scale, simply rub the nubs on the spray plate. For more stubborn deposits, use a mild descaling agent suitable for chrome finishes. Rinse thoroughly with water after cleaning.
- Shower Hose Cleaning: The stainless steel shower hose is designed to be easy to clean. Wipe it down with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the chrome finish.
- General Care: Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive sponges, or aggressive cleaning agents, as these can damage the surface and internal components.

4. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your WENKO Basic Line Shower Head Set, please refer to the following common solutions:
- Low Water Pressure: Check if the water supply valve is fully open. Inspect the shower head and hose for any blockages or kinks. Clean the shower head nubs to remove any lime-scale buildup that might restrict water flow.
- Leaks at Connections: Ensure all connections are securely tightened. If leaks persist, check the rubber washers (gaskets) inside the connections for proper seating or damage. Replace if necessary.
- Difficulty Changing Spray Modes: If the spray plate is stiff, it may have mineral deposits. Perform a thorough cleaning of the shower head as described in the Maintenance section.
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
