CARE AND CLEANING OF CHROME AND SPECIAL FINISHES
DO NOT
use abrasive or chemical cleaners to clean Flushometers as they
may dull the luster and attack the chrome or special decorative finishes.
Use ONLY soap and water, then wipe dry with clean cloth or towel.
While cleaning the bathroom tile, the Flushometer should be protected from
any splattering of cleaner. Acids and cleaning fluids can discolor or remove
chrome plating.
Refer to the OPTIMA
