tory 2.5 gpm flow restrictor, the effect of

designed.

User Instructions:
Turn the face ring until the name of the desired function is next to the indexing
mark.
This handshower is protected by the QuicleanTM cleaning system. When the spray
mode is changed, the QuicleanTM pins clear any scale deposits from the normal
spray channels.
The silicon spray nozzles may be cleaned of scale deposits by turning the water on
lightly and rubbing across them with a finger or a sponge.
If scale deposits are noticed on the spray face, pour
about 1/2” of a commercial limescale remover, such
as Lime-AwayTM or CLRTM into a shallow dish. Soak
just the gray spray face for the amount of time shown
in the label instructions. Rinse the showerhead well
with clear water, and polish dry with a soft cloth.

Cleaning Recommendation for Hansgrohe Products
Modern faucetry and shower products utilize a combination of materials to comply with the needs of the
market with regard to design and functionality.
To avoid damage, it is necessary to use some caution when cleaning. Damage caused by improper
treatment is not covered under the Hansgrohe warranty.
Cleaning Materials for Faucets and Showers
•To remove lime scale, use only products made specifically for that purpose. Always follow the
manufacturer’s instructions when using.
•Do not use cleaners that contain hydrochloric, formic, acetic, or phosphoric acids, as these will
cause considerable damage to finishes and to plastic components.
•Never mix cleaning materials.
•Never use cleaners containing abrasives. Do not use abrasive cleaning cloths, pads, or sponges.
Cleaning Procedures
•Clean your faucets and shower products as and when required. Regular cleaning will prevent scale
buildup and water spotting.
•Follow the label instructions. Do not allow any cleaner to remain on the product for longer than
necessary.
•When using spray cleaners, spray first onto a sponge or cloth – do not spray directly onto the
product.
•After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clear water to remove any cleaner residue.
Important
•Soap and shampoo residue can also cause damage to the product. Rinse well with clean water
after use.
•If the surface is already damaged, harsh cleaning materials will cause further damage.
