3. Brass top assembly will pop up. Remove lower assembly, diffuser and spring.

4. Carefully remove any scaling (calcium deposits) or foreign particles from valve seat and other internal parts. Use vinegar to remove calcium. Soak parts until calcium becomes soft and can be scrubbed and washed off. Do not use solvents or scratch metallic/Teflon surfaces.

5. Replace cleaned spring, diffuser and lower assembly following instructions below or use new replacement kit assembly. For correct kit number, refer to table on page 2. a. Some older models have a brass washer between

the spring and body. Remove this washer, as it is no longer needed with the latest replacement kits.

b. Insert spring with larger diameter on the bottom into

the body.

c. Fit valve top assembly into lower assembly and

insert into valve.
