CARE AND MAINTENANCE
!
CAUTION: Do not over-tighten. The nut on the drain should be finger tightened and then turned no more than one additional turn. In most cases,
depending upon the drain chosen, plumbers putty or a series of rubber gaskets will be used to create a water tight seal. Over tightening also tends to
press out or dislodge plumbers putty or distort rubber gaskets. The result could be a leaky drain and an overstressed point in the china.
Do not use harsh abrasives or caustic cleaners to clean fixture surfaces. A mild detergent, warm water, and a soft cloth will remove normal dirt and
soap accumulations from fittings and surfaces. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning and polish with a soft dry cloth to restore original luster of material.
