Care and Maintenance

Trouble Shooting Guide

Stainless steel products should be kept clean at all 
times. The secret to stainless steel’s ability to maintain 
a high  quality finish and promises of a long life  
expectancy is  the invisible chromium-oxide film that 
sits on the surface and protects the steel beneath.  
To maintain this film it is essential that the surface  
remains clean and in constant contact with oxygen.  
If this film is penetrated (either by abrasion or  
chemically) and dirt, liquid, grime contaminants embed 
themselves in these micro chasms for an extended  
period of time, the chromiumoxide film will not be 
able to regenerate and the steel below will eventually 
become damaged and discoloured.

What we recommend for general cleaning and  
maintenance:

 

Cleaning Materials:

• A soft cloth
• A soft-bristled brush
• A natural or artificial sponge

Cleaning Solutions:

• Hand washing soap / soft water solution
• Mild soap / soft water solution
• White vinegar / soft water solution

It is recommended that general cleaning of stainless 
steel surfaces be carried out weekly, or as soon as 
a build up of surface media has been observed. To 
clean, simply wash stainless steel surfaces with, warm, 
diluted, mild soapy water using a cloth or soft bristled 
brush. Once all dirt, oil and grime is removed, rinse 
thoroughly with clean water and wipe dry  
 

Do NOT

 – use a metal brush or steel wool to clean 

stainless steel. Ever. These tools will scratch the surface 
as well as potentially leave behind steel fragments that 
can go rusty and cause the stainless to discolour.  
Using these materials will void the warranty. 

Do NOT

 – use scourers of any kind that have previously 

been used on ordinary steel. Microscopic steel fibers 
transferred onto stainless steel can cause considerable 
damage to the surface and will void the warranty. 

Do NOT

 – use abrasive cleaning brushes, pads or agents 

on highly polished finishes 

Do NOT

 use harsh cleaners that contain powerful acidic 

or alkaline chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and 
sodium hydroxide that will damage the surface.  
Any water coming into contact with stainless steel, 
particularly cleaning solutions, should have zero 
chloride content as even minute amounts can cause 
damage. Using these cleaners will void any product 
warranty. 

Do NOT

 – use chlorinated sanitizers, cleansers or 

bleach of any kind. Using these substances will void 
the warranty. Despite some cleaners displaying the 
text, ‘Suitable for Toilets and Urinals’ this is more likely 
in reference to ceramic /vitreous China products and 
use of these cleaners can damage stainless steel and 
will void the warranty. 
 

Do NOT

 – use brick cleaning liquids that contain 

 hydrochloric acid anywhere near stainless. If cement 
needs to be removed from stainless (before it sets),  
a mixture of hot water and 25% vinegar or 10%  
phosphoric acid can be effective. Once cleaned,  
the surface should then be neutralised with dilute  
ammonia or sodium bicarbonate then rinsed and dried.

*Please note this item is  
pre-programmed to trip and  
run setting as per these notes.

  

Wave on/ Wave off models are  
special order. 

PLEASE NOTE: A SERVICE CHARGE WILL 
BE MADE IF A SERVICE CALL IS REQUIRED 
TO ATTEND TO A FAULTY OR CARELESS 
INSTALLATION.

FOLLOW THIS PROCEDURE CAREFULLY.

Once it is established that the unit has not been  
damaged at installation, first, turn the power to the 
unit off & then back on.

In the event that on site trouble shooting does not clear 
or rectify any problems that you are experiencing, then 
it may be necessary to return the unit for appraisal and 
corrective action. Feedback from the field is important  
to enable us to improve and refine the product.

Once you have an understanding of what the problem is, 
contact your distributor or Trade Store to enable a quick 
resolve of these issues.  

All parts are proudly manufactured and assembled in  
Australia and distributed by the Britex Group.

A. 

If there is no flow when a hand is 

waved past close to the sensor lens;

I. Check the power point is good and that the power  
is on. 
II. Check the water supply cock/s is on. 
III. Place the palm of your hand directly in front &  
parallel to the front face of the sensor, about 10 cm 
away. Move your hand slowly towards the sensor,  
keeping the palm of the hand flat, directly in front  
& parallel to the front face of the sensor. If the unit 
fails to oeprate even when brought up onto the sensor 
replace the sensor unit.
IV. Replace the Power Pack (Power pack failures are 
rare).

A. Occasionally;

I. The sensor may have become insensitive and be  
difficult to operate. If it will operate when a flat surface 
eg. white paper is passed very close to it, directly in 
front and parallel with the lenses, but not a moving 
hand, then replace the sensor unit. 

A. 

If the unit appears stuck on and 

water runs continuously where it has 
not been activated by passing the hand 
to wave it on and will not turn off by 
waving your hand past the lens;

 

I. Turn the power off.
   
If water continues to flow then the solenoid valve is 
at fault. It may be installed around the wrong way or 
have debris under the seat.  Check that the valve is 
installed correctly for supply.  If OK, consider taking 
the valve apart & check for debris under the plunger  
& diaphragm etc. Contact your distributor for advice.

 

Or

 

If flow stops, check the sensor unit. 

Q. Does the water flow at all?
