Cleaning Instructions
Cleanliness is of utmost importance. Do not permit salty solutions to evaporate and dry on stainless steel.
Never use ordinary steel wool or steel brushes on stainless steel. Always use stainless steel wool or stainless
steel brushes.
1. Remove ordinary deposits of dirt and grease with soap and water. Whenever possible, the metal should be
thoroughly rinsed and dried after washing.
2. Use stainless steel polishing powder to get rid of tightly adhering deposits.
3. Look for the source of the rust in some iron or steel not actually a part of the stainless steel structure.
Sometimes the appearance of rust streaks on stainless steel leads to the belief that the stainless steel is
rusting. A steel nail or screw may be the cause of the trouble.
4. If the showerhead delivers an uneven spray, remove the showerhead from the unit, disassemble, and remove
foreign matter.
5. Reassemble showerhead and reinstall into unit.
