Maintenance
Your fitting has a high quality finish and
should be treated with care to preserve
the visible surfaces. All surfaces will
wear if not cleaned correctly, the only safe
way to clean your mixer is to wipe with a
soft damp cloth. Stains can be removed
using washing up liquid. All bath cleaning
powders and liquids will damage the
surface of your fitting, even the non-
scratch cleaners.

Never use abrasive detergents or

Bristan recommend E-cloth for
cleaning all of our bathroom
& kitchen products. Using
just water, E-cloth gives a
smear free, deep clean by breaking up
and holding dirt, which normal cloths
leave behind. Order through your Bristan
stockist (order code: ECLOTH).
Before carrying out any maintenance, turn
off the mains water supply and close any
isolating valves.
Remove the grub screw cover cap, loosen
the grub screw (but do not remove) using
a 2.5mm hexagonal key, turning anti-
clockwise. Remove the head.
Using the correct size spanner unscrew
and remove the valve. Wash the valve with
clean running water and make sure that
any debris has been removed. Dry and
lightly grease the seal (only use silicone
grease), replace the valve and head.
