CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE:

·

The water in certain areas of the world can be very caustic -   

    standing water around the product can cause damage. Be    
    sure to remove standing water with a dry, soft cloth as soon  
    as possible.    

·

For polished brass finishes, as often as once a week, you 

    can apply a paste wax or special, non-abrasive, brass
    coating (DO NOT APPLY POLISH).   

·

Before applying a protective coating, gently brush the entire 

    fixture using a soft tooth brush. This will remove any dirt or 
    deposit build-up.   

·

These simple steps will add temporary protective coating to   

     your faucet and extend the life of the finish.

     Failure to follow care and cleaning will void your warranty. 
     For additional information, please visit elkayusa.com

.

This faucet ships with a 1.5GPM aerator installed. An 
optional 2.2GPM aerator is also included in the box.

To switch the flow rate of the faucet:

1. Disassemble aerator assembly by separating the 

aerator shell (1), aerator (2) and washer (3). Remove 
existing aerator (2) and install the new aerator. 
(2.2GPM=Red, 1.5GPM=Green)
2. Reinstall the aerator assembly.

Congratulations on your purchase of an Elkay product. 

Although your product is extremely durable, attention should 

be given to the care, cleaning and maintenance of this  
product.  Cleaning agents and abrasives may cause damage, 

which may result in oxidation and discoloration.

cleaning, it will give you years of enjoyment:

TO CLEAN: Simply wipe gently with a damp cloth and blot dry 
with a soft towel. A common rule of thumb is: when you dry off, 
dry off your product.

·

 Avoid build-up of soap, toothpaste or mineral deposits, as 

     these tend to have an adverse effect on the appearance of     
     the product.

     especially those containing ammonia, bleach or alcohol - or  
     those with any form of abrasive.      

 

Shut off water supply.

 

Remove set screw plug (1). With 

valves in "closed" position, unscrew set screw (2) and 

remove handle (3) from valve stem (4). Loosen the screw 
(7) from valve stem (4). Loosen the cap (5) from the 
sleeve (6).
