Thank You For Choosing Kohler Company
Thank you for choosing the Bold Look of Kohler. Kohler craftsmanship
offers you a rare combination of proven performance and graceful
sophistication that will satisfy you for years to come. The
dependability and beauty of your Kohler faucet will surpass your
highest expectations. We’re very proud of our products here at Kohler
and we know you will be too.
Please take a few minutes to study this Homeowners Guide. Pay
special attention to the Care and Cleaning instructions.
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
availability at any time without notice.
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.

Guide du propriétaire
Robinet de lavabo à large entraxe
Merci d’avoir choisi la compagnie Kohler
Merci d’avoir choisi la ligne The Bold Look of Kohler. Le travail soigné
des artisans de Kohler vous fera apprécier une rare combinaison de
performances prouvées et une sophistication gracieuse, qui vous
satisferont pour les années à venir. La fiabilité et la beauté de votre
robinet Kohler surpasseront vos plus grandes espérances. Chez Kohler,
nous sommes fiers du rendement de nos produits et nous savons que
vous le serez aussi.
Veuillez prendre s’il vous plait quelques minutes pour consulter ce
guide du propriétaire. Prêter une attention toute particulière aux
instructions d’entretien et de nettoyage.
Tous les renseignements contenus dans ce manuel ont été revus et
corrigés avant sa publication. Chez Kohler, nous veillons constamment
à améliorer la qualité de nos produits. Nous nous réservons donc le
droit d’apporter des modifications aux caractéristiques,
conditionnements et disponibilités des produits à tout moment, et sans
préavis.
Votre robinet pour lavabo Kohler
Votre nouveau robinet combine un style élégant et une beauté avec une
performance et une fiabilité exceptionnelles. Chaque robinet est conçu
avec précision et fabriqué avec des matériaux de haute qualité, pour
garantir un fonctionnement sans problème, même dans des régions aux
conditions d’eau extrêmes.
Entretien et nettoyage
Comme tout appareil de qualité durable, les robinets et raccordements
Kohler exigent un certain entretien périodique pour conserver leur
apparence brillante. Nettoyer le nouveau robinet et les raccordements
Kohler avec un savon doux, rincer généreusement avec de l’eau tiède
et essuyer avec un linge doux et propre. La technique idéale de
nettoyage est de toujours assécher toute eau des surfaces métalliques.
Laisser l’eau s’évaporer sur le métal formera des dépôts visibles. Il est
important d’essuyer le métal par petites touches et non pas de manière
abrasive ou par frottement.
Kohler Co. Français-1 116444-5-A

Entretien et nettoyage (cont.)
Ne jamais utiliser de nettoyant abrasif qui contient de l’ammoniac, de
l’eau javellisée, des acides ou des produits chimiques qui pourraient
endommager la finition. En prenant le temps de souvent essuyer le
robinet, on peut empêcher la formation de dépôts de savon et d’eau.
Si la couleur/finition chrome ou Vibrant
®
du robinet devient
excessivement sale, considérer d’utiliser les détergents suivants: Winde
Original, Fantastik
®
Tout Usage, Spic et Span Pin Liquide, or Mr.
Propre
®
Printemps Senteur Fraîche. Pour les robinets et les raccords
de couleur solide, considérer d’utiliser ces détergents: Fantastik
®
Tout
usage, Spic et Span Pin Liquide, ou Mr.Propre
®
Printemps Senteur
Fraîche.
La non observation de ces instructions de nettoyage pourrait entraîner
l’annulation de la garantie Kohler.
