before installation of the thermostatic cartridge. Read all instructions on
boxes, valves and cartridges.
7.
Under no circumstances should the thermostat cartridge be dismantled.
Doing so will void any warranty and generally make the cartridge inoperable.
MAINTENANCE
with a toothbrush will remove surface debris.
Soaking the cartridge in a 50/50 solution of clear household vinegar and water
will remove lime scale, and lime deposits caused from your water.
Regular cleaning each year will extend the life of the cartridge. Never use a
screwdriver on any thermostatic cartridge. Never take a thermostatic cartridge
apart as you will damage this precise instrument. Call your dealer or the factory
for answers to your questions.
