desired angle.
Cleaning and maintenance
Your Quartz Digital shower system should be cleaned using only a soft cloth and
washing up liquid.
DO NOT USE ABRASIVE CLEANERS
To reduce the need for chemical descaling in hard water areas, your shower head
incorporates a ‘clear flow’ system, whereby any scale build up can be broken down
by gently rubbing the flexible tips of the jets during use. This procedure should be
completed regularly, as often as once a week in some hard water areas, as scale
build up can affect the spray pattern and cause the shower to perform poorly.
Failure to descale the shower head can affect the internal seals and may affect the
warranty.
Cleaning and maintenance should not be undertaken by children without
supervision by a person responsible for their safety.
Should chemical descaling of the head become necessary, remove the shower
head fully and immerse in a mild proprietary descalent.
!IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT DESCALING IS CARRIED OUT STRICTLY IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE MANUFACTURER’S INSTRUCTIONS. SUBSTANCES
THAT ARE NOT SUITABLE FOR PLASTICS AND ELECTROPLATED SURFACES
MUST NOT BE USED.
