5. Maintenance and Care

Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hand shower.

• Cleaning: Use only mild cleaning agents specifically designed for bathroom fixtures. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or solvents, as these can damage the chrome finish.
• Rinsing: After cleaning, rinse the hand shower and hose thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaning agent residue.
• Limescale Removal: If limescale builds up on the spray nozzles, gently rub them with your finger or a soft cloth to dislodge deposits. For stubborn limescale, use a mild descaling solution as per the manufacturer's instructions, ensuring it is safe for chrome finishes.
• Hose Inspection: Periodically check the shower hose for any signs of wear, kinks, or damage. Replace the hose if necessary to prevent leaks.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Hansgrohe Bidette Hand Shower, refer to the following common solutions:

• Low Water Flow: Check if the main water supply is fully open. Inspect the shower hose for kinks or blockages. Clean the spray nozzles for limescale buildup.
• Leaks at Connections: Ensure all connections (water supply to valve, hose to valve, hose to hand shower) are securely tightened. Check the condition of rubber seals or washers and replace if damaged.
• Water Not Shutting Off Completely: Ensure the shut-off valve is fully closed. If the issue persists, the valve mechanism may require inspection by a qualified plumber.

For problems not resolved by these steps, please contact a qualified plumber or Hansgrohe customer support.
