CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Minimum Maintenance is required to maintain product
finish. With proper maintenance your CHEVIOT Faucet
will continually look like new. Special care should be
taken when cleaning your faucet and the following
suggestions should help extend your faucet life.
a) Cleaning should be done regularly using a soft
cotton cloth and warm water, then towel dry.
b) Do not use cleaners that contain abrasives or harsh
chemicals; Care should be taken in selecting cleaning
supplies. Many cleaners contain detergents, ammonia,
or other corrosive solvents that could damage your
faucet finish.
c) occasionally clean with a non-abrasive wax polish.
NOTE
Before drilling holes in
floor, determine the width
of the faucet supply nuts
that you want to attach the
riser tubes to (these will
be for how far apart you
will be drilling holes). Now
determine where your tub
lip will be to make sure
faucet spout is at least 1”
inside of tub lip.
