Care & Cleaning of the tub
■ Care & Cleaning of the tub
Caution: Any product used to clean or disinfect your GK bath
must be free from any abrasive, alcohol & corrosive
ingredients. Never use any kind of customary glass
cleansers, solvents (e.g. acetone) or similar deter-
gents or dilutions. Never use harsh or pointed uten-
sils, e.g. rough clothes, scrubbing sponges, scouring
pads or any tools. If you are in any doubt about your
usual cleaning products please contact your GK repre-
sentative before use.
Any damage caused by unapproved / unsuitable products
will not be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
For cleaning, after use always rinse the bath tub thoroughly with
the shower hose. Any dirt which adheres to the bathtub surfaces
must be removed with a soft sponge or cloth and, if necessary,
customary detergents (besides the above mentioned restrictions).
Always clean the plastic parts wet or damp but never dry.
We recommend using our approved shampoo and bath additive products
with your GK bath.
Other products may cause more persistent dirt
being harder to clean.
We also recommend for you to polish the white bath tub body once a
month with car polish cream.
This will give the bathtub a smooth,
water repellent surface and will make routine cleaning considera-
bly easier – it will also enhance the appearance of your GK bath.
Once in a while, the door seal should be treated with talcum to
give the seal a smooth surface. This way the door will not stick
to the door frame.
A disinfection cycle should always be performed after cleaning.
Where fitted, the jet coverings should also be
cleaned & disinfected (see pictures).
To do that, unscrew the jet cover anti-
clockwise. Now clean the cover, the inlet aper-
ture and the outlet aperture thoroughly.
Re-assemble the jet cover by rotating it clock-
wise.
Note: Do not use excessive force!
If you have any further questions or require
more information please contact your local GK
representative, who will be happy to advise.
