All information in this manual is based upon the latest product
information available at the time of publication. At Kohler, we
constantly strive to improve the quality of our products. We reserve
the right to make changes in product characteristics, packaging or

Your Kohler Lavatory Faucet
Your new lavatory faucet blends elegant styling and beauty with
exceptional performance and reliability. Each faucet is precision
engineered and constructed of premium quality materials to provide
trouble-free operation even under the hardest water conditions.
Care and Cleaning
Like anything of lasting quality, Kohler faucets and fittings require a
certain amount of periodic care to preserve their lustrous finish. Clean
your new Kohler faucet and fittings with a mild soap, rinse thoroughly
with warm water and dry with a clean, soft cloth. The ideal cleaning
technique is to always blot dry any water from metal surfaces.
Allowing water to evaporate on metal will form water deposits. It is
important to use a dabbing action to dry metal, not an abrasive or
rubbing action.
Never use cleaners containing abrasive cleansers, ammonia, bleach,
acids, or chemicals that can damage the finish. By taking the time to
dry your faucet often, soap and water deposits can be prevented.
If your chrome or Vibrant
®
color/finish faucet gets excessively dirty,
consider using the following cleaners: Windex
®
Original, Fantastik
®
All Purpose, Spic and Span Pine Liquid, or Mr. Clean
®
Springtime
Fresh Scent. For solid color faucets and fittings, consider using these
cleaners: Fantastik
®
All Purpose, Spic and Span Pine Liquid, or Mr.
Clean
®
Springtime Fresh Scent.
Failure to comply with these cleaning instructions may void Kohler’s
warranty obligations.

Lifetime Limited Warranty — USA and Canada
Kohler Co. warrants its faucets manufactured after January 1, 1997, to
be leak and drip free during normal residential use for as long as the
original consumer purchaser owns his/her home. *If the faucet should
leak or drip during normal use, Kohler will, free of charge, mail to the
purchaser the cartridge necessary to put the faucet in good working
condition.
Kohler also warrants all other aspects of the faucet, except gold finish,
to be free of defects in material and workmanship during normal
residential use for as long as the original consumer purchaser owns
his/her own home. If a defect is found in normal residential use,
Kohler Co. will, at its election, repair, provide a replacement part or
product, or make appropriate adjustment. Damage to a product caused
by accident, misuse, or abuse is not covered by this warranty. Proof of
purchase (original sales receipt) must be provided to Kohler with all
warranty claims. Kohler Co. is not responsible for labor charges,
installation, or other consequential costs. In no event shall the liability
of Kohler exceed the purchase price of the faucet.
If the faucet is used commercially, Kohler warrants the faucet to be free
from defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year from the
date the product is installed, with all other terms of this warranty
applying except duration.
If you believe that you have a warranty claim, contact Kohler Co.,
either through your Dealer, Plumbing Contractor, Home Center or
E-tailer, or by writing: Kohler Co., Attn.: Customer Service Department,

The foregoing warranties are in lieu of all other warranties, express
or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Seller disclaims any liability for special, incidental or consequential
damages. Some states/provinces do not allow limitations of how long
an implied warranty lasts or the exclusion or limitation of such
damages, so these limitations and exclusions may not apply to you.
This warranty gives the consumer specific legal rights. You may also
have other rights that vary from state/province to state/province. This
warranty is to the original consumer purchaser only, and excludes
