CARE AND CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

Your Elkay faucet has been constructed of the finest materials, however, certain precautions must be taken to maintain the lustrous decorative finish.

Do not use abrasive cleanser or harsh chemical cleanser on this product which could damage the finish.

Use of a soft cloth with a warm water wash to wipe down the faucet will generally remove dry water spots. Never use alcohol or other organic solvents.

TO PURCHASERS OF ELKAY INSTITUTIONAL FAUCETS

By public referendum known as “Proposition 65” the State of California requires manufacturers of many types of products to warn consumers if their products contain certain chemicals listed by the State of California as either carcinogen or reproductive toxins. This warning is a requirement only in the State of California. More than 200 chemicals are listed by the state as carcinogen or reproductive toxins for which similar warnings are required and many of the listed chemicals occur naturally in food, water and the atmosphere. This California listing imposes limits that, in many cases, are far below those allowed by the federal government and like all brass or bronze plumbing products, this item already meets federal standards and guidelines for maximum allowable lead content. Brass faucets have been used for decades without any proven harmful effects and industry tests have further indicated no significant health risks.

NOTICE:TO OWNERS OF ELKAY INSTITUTIONAL FAUCETS – CONSUMER WARNING!

This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Lead, which is contained in all brass and bronze faucets in very limited amounts appears on the state’s list.
