information available at the time of publication. At Kohler, we
constantly strive to improve the quality of our products. We reserve

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.

Temperature Limit Adjustment
NOTE: Your faucet has the capability to limit the range of
temperatures controlled by lever position. Setting the position of the
locking ring will reduce the quantity of either hot water flow or cold
water flow. If the supplied hot water is higher than is comfortable or
safe, the quantity of cold water flow can be increased relative to the
hot water flow.
Use the following procedure to adjust the limit-temperature
locking-ring:
Pry off the plug button using a small flat-bladed screwdriver or
equivalent tool
Loosen the setscrew and remove the lever handle using the
supplied hex wrench
NOTE: The inner and outer rings have location arrows. These
arrows are aligned with one another when the assembly is shipped.
If the outer ring is rotated clockwise in respect to the inner ring,
cold water flow will be restricted. If the outer ring is rotated
counter-clockwise in respect to the inner ring, hot water flow will be
restricted. The lever can still be used to adjust temperature within
the limited range.
Note the position of the outer locking-ring relative to the inner
geared-ring.
NOTE: Pry the locking-ring up equally at either side in order to
remove it from the valve.

même pour vous aussi.
Veuillez prendre quelques minutes pour étudier ce guide du
propriétaire. Porter une attention toute particulière aux instructions
d’entretien et de nettoyage.
Tous renseignements contenus dans ce manuel sont basés sur les
dernières données disponibles au moment de la publication. Chez
Kohler, nous tâchons constamment d’améliorer la qualité de nos
produits. Nous nous réservons le droit d’apporter des modifications
aux caractéristiques, à l’emballage ou sur la disponibilité des produits,

Votre robinet Kohler
Votre nouveau robinet de lavabo combine un style élégant et une
beauté avec une performance et une fiabilité exceptionnelles. Chaque
robinet est usiné et fabriqué avec précision à partir de matériaux de la
meilleure qualité pour offrir un fonctionnement sans défaut, même
avec les eaux les plus calcaires.
Entretien et nettoyage
Comme tout produit de qualité durable, les robinets et les accessoires
Kohler ont besoin d’un entretien périodique afin de préserver leur
finition brillante. Nettoyer vos nouveaux robinets et accessoires Kohler
avec du savon doux, rincer soigneusement à l’eau chaude et sécher
avec un tissu propre et doux. La technique de nettoyage idéale est
d’éponger toujours toute l’eau restant sur les surfaces métalliques puis
de sécher. Si l’eau s’évapore naturellement sur le métal, elle laisse des
dépôts. Il est important de tamponner pour sécher les surfaces
métalliques, et de ne pas appliquer une action abrasive ou de
frottement.
