Early maintenance.

I just moved into a newly constructed home. What should I know
about my faucets?

Even though a plumber flushes the pipes before completing work on your
home, a small amount of construction debris may be flushed out of your
pipe system during the first few days you use your faucets. Solder particles,
copper chips, plumber tape and other installation materials can also get
caught in aerators and showerheads. The tips below will help you avoid
problems. It’s also a good idea to follow these procedures each time the
water has been turned off for repairs in your home.

To Flush a Kitchen or Lavatory Faucet:

• Remove aerator using the special tool that came with
your faucet (Figure 1). For some faucet models, the
aerator (and black sealing gasket above it) may be
removed by hand.

• Turn hot and cold faucet handle(s) to full-on position(s)
and flush lines for two minutes before turning off water.
Make sure not to move the handle(s).

• Replace aerator (and gasket, depending on
your model).

To Flush a Pull-Out/Pull-Down Kitchen Faucet:

If the spray does not come out of the
wand as you would expect:

• Unscrew the wand from the hose
(Figure 2). Aim hose into drain.

• Turn faucet handle to full-on hot and cold
mixed position and flush for two minutes to
remove debris from the lines. Do not move the
handle during that time.

• Tap the screen in the wand (located at the base
of the wand where it connects to the hose) to
remove debris (Figure 3). Note: Do not further

disassemble the wand.

• Screw the wand back onto the hose.

To Flush a Tub/Shower Faucet:

• Remove showerhead from arm,
if applicable.

• Turn handle(s) to full-on hot and cold
mixed position(s).

• Flush tub spout for two minutes
without moving handle(s).

• Divert water to shower (if applicable)
and flush shower arm for two minutes.
If you need to more thoroughly clean
your showerhead, go to page 17.

• BE SAFE! Make sure cold water
flows FIRST and that the adjustable
rotational limit stop is properly set.*
Visit deltafaucet.com/rotationalstop
for more information on setting the
adjustable rotational limit stop. Due
to inlet water temperature changes,
you may need to adjust it seasonally.

* The rotational limit stop should not be considered

an anti-scald device.

Cleaning tips.

How should I clean or maintain the finish on my faucet?

• Wipe your faucet with a damp cloth and mild household cleanser.

• Dry with a soft cloth to retain luster and shine.

• Remove hard water stains with a 50/50 solution of white vinegar and water.

Rinse thoroughly with water afterward.

What cleaning products can cause damage to faucet finishes?

Although your faucet’s finish is extremely durable, it can be damaged
or scratched by harsh cleaners or abrasives. Here’s what to avoid:

• Industrial cleaners

• Abrasive cleaners

• Toilet bowl cleaners

• Bleach-based cleaners

• Polish

• Ammonia solutions

• Heavy-duty scrub sponges

• Products that state on the label

that they remove tarnish and rust

• Products containing hydrofluoric,

hydrochloric and/or phosphoric
acids and caustic agents

What’s the best way to remove lime and mineral deposits from my faucet?

If using a mild household cleanser doesn’t do the job, place a cloth soaked
in white vinegar over the deposits for several hours, then try the mild cleanser
again. Note: Drying the faucet with a soft cloth after each use will help
prevent mineral deposits.

How do I remove mineral deposits from the aerator?

• Unscrew aerator or use the special tool that came with your faucet.
If your aerator has a separate black sealing gasket, rinse it in clear water.

• Soak the aerator in a 50/50 vinegar and water solution for several hours.

• Flush the aerator with water.

• Rub stubborn deposits with a toothbrush.

How do I clean/remove mineral deposits from my pull-out/pull-down wand,
showerhead or handshower?

The face of your pull-out/pull-down wand, showerhead or handshower
most likely incorporates Delta

®

Touch-Clean® technology. To ensure proper

spraying, follow these steps:

• Wipe over the soft rubber spray holes on
your Touch-Clean pull-out/pull-down wand,
showerhead or handshower face, using your
fingertips to loosen and break away residue
and mineral deposits.

For a Deeper Cleaning:

• Unscrew the showerhead, handshower or wand.

• Soak it in a 50/50 vinegar and water solution

for several hours.

• Rub stubborn deposits with a toothbrush.
