Normal soap or a mild cleaning agent can be used for regular care and
prevention of lime scale on the rotatable rosette and valve cone. Under
no circumstances should scouring agent or scratching objects be used.
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.
