Secure the drain in such a way that it cannot shift when the subse-
quent works are applied.
Most importantly, it must be ensured that the drain does not float
when the concrete or screed is poured in.
Work the drain into the screed or floor covering.
NOTICE!
Product damage due to improper installation
If hollow spaces occur during the lining of the drain, leaks
may occur when pressure is applied.
Inform the subsequent workers that the drain must be fully
lined and that there must be no hollow spaces.
3.3 Care

Normal soap or a mild cleaning agent can be used for regular care and

Strong stains, even around the drain unit and the siphon, can be
removed using typical household cleaner. It should be noted that the
cleaning agent should be rinsed off after the prescribed soaking time.
There should be no residue on the components.
