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

Your Kohler Bidet Faucet
Your new bidet 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.
Your bidet faucet is used for partial bathing. The user sits on the rim of
the bowl facing the faucet. Fresh water enters the bidet in a stream
from the bidet faucet. A drain retains water in the bowl if desired.
The bidet may also be used as a footbath. It is roomy and low enough
to use easily while sitting on a chair.
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

to be free of defects in material and workmanship during normal
residential use for as long as the original consumer purchaser owns

applying except duration.
