CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE:
·The water in certain areas of the world can be very caustic -
standing water around the product can cause damage. Be
sure to remove standing water with a dry, soft cloth as soon
as possible.
·For polished brass finishes, as often as once a week, you
can apply a paste wax or special, non-abrasive, brass
coating (DO NOT APPLY POLISH).
·Before applying a protective coating, gently brush the entire
fixture using a soft tooth brush. This will remove any dirt or
deposit build-up.
·These simple steps will add temporary protective coating to
your faucet and extend the life of the finish.
Failure to follow care and cleaning will void your warranty.
For additional information, please visit elkayusa.com .
This faucet ships with a 1.5GPM aerator installed. An
optional 2.2GPM aerator is also included in the box.
