Scale Removal
The Raindance Air 3-jet handshower incorporates the RubitTM
cleaning system. If scale deposits are noticed in the spray
channels, turn the water on lightly and rub the spray channels
with a finger or a sponge.

CLRTM ,into a shallow dish. Dilute the remover according to the
label instructions.

specified on the label.

handshower to flush for at least one minute.
Rinse the handshower with clear water.

pressure decreases as the temperature increases, is
debris clogging the filter screens on the thermostatic
cartridge. If this occurs, the screens should be
cleaned.

Hold the thermoelement steady with a 36 mm
wrench. Use a 24 mm wrench to unscrew the ther-

toothbrush may be used if care is taken not to dam-
age the filter screens.

Cleaning Recommendation for Hansgrohe Products
Modern sanitary faucetry and shower fixtures consist of very different materials to comply with the needs of the market
with regard to design and functionality.
To avoid damage and returns, it is necessary to consider certain points when cleaning:
Cleaning materials for faucets and shower products:
Acids are necessary ingredients of cleaning materials for removing lime. However, please pay attention to the
following points when cleaning faucets and shower products:
•Use only cleaning materials intended for the application.
•Never use cleaning materials which contain hydrochloric, formic, or phosphoric, or acetic acid, as these can
cause considerable damage.
•Do not mix one cleaning material with another.
•Do not use abrasives, such as cleaning powders, sponge pads, or microfiber cloths.
Cleaning Instructions for Faucets and Shower Products:
Please follow the cleaning material manufacturer’s instructions. In addition, please note the following:
•Clean your faucets and shower products as and when required.
•Follow the label instructions. Do not allow any cleaner to remain on the product for longer than necessary.
•Regular cleaning will prevent scale buildup and water spotting.
•When using spray cleaners, spray first onto a sponge or cloth. Do not spray directly onto the faucet or shower
product as drops could enter openings or gaps and cause damage.
•After cleaning, rinse thoroughly with clear water to remove any cleaner residue.
Important
Residues of liquid soaps, shampoos, and shower foams can also cause damage, so rinse with clean water after using.
Please note:
•If the surface is already damaged, the effect of cleaning materials will cause further damage.
•Components with damaged surfaces must be replaced, otherwise, this could cause injury.
•Damage caused by improper treatment will not be covered by our warranty.
