Bath:
Pillow:
Faucet:
Your new vinyl pillow can be routinely cleaned
with mild soap and water. Remove stubborn stains with
cleaning products recommended for vinyl.
Periodically use a vinyl treatment product to
rejuvenate the appearance of the vinyl skin.
All Finishes: Clean the finish with a mild soap
and warm water. Wipe entire surface completely dry
with a clean soft cloth. Many cleaners may contain
chemicals, such as ammonia or chlorine, which could
adversely affect the finish and are not recommended
for cleaning.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents on Kohler
faucets and fittings.
CARE AND CLEANING OF YOUR PILLOW
CLEAN-UP AFTER INSTALLATION
When cleaning up after installation, do not use abrasive
cleansers as they may scratch and dull the surface.
Use warm water and liquid, non-abrasive detergent to
clean the surface.
Stubborn stains, paint, or tar can be removed with
mineral spirits. Do not use cleaners containing solvent.
Plaster can be removed by scraping with wood edge.
Do not use metal scrapers, wire brushes, or other metal
tools. One of the powder type detergents may be used
on a damp cloth to provide mild abrasive action to the
residual plaster.
DIRLLING AND CUTTING ACRYLIC
DRILLING:
NOTE:
CUTTING:
Small holes can be drilled with a twist drill,
but the cutting edge MUST be backed off with an oil
stone (the sharp edge dulled). Large holes must be
drilled with a hole saw. Maximum drill size-12mm. Drill
speeds-6mm x 1800 RPM-12 mm x 900 RPM.
Always drill from acrylic surface.
If for any reason the acrylic requires cutting,
use a fine tooth hacksaw and proceed with caution.
Edges can be smoothed with a second-cut file and
medium-fine sandpaper. If the surface of the acrylic
should happen to be damaged, it can be restored by
polishing with an abrasive cleaner . Deep scratches
can be removed by rubbing with 600 grade wet & dry
sandpaper then polishing.
