o To protect yourself from electric shock, never immerse the device, its cables and
the plug in water or other liquids.

pads which could scratch the surface.

settle in the stop valve and lead to damages of the seal faces.
o If the device is used daily the whole faucet mechanism has to be cleaned once a week.
If the device is used less often, it may be cleaned less frequently. For cleaning the
faucet bonnet unscrew bonnet, remove silicone seat cup and wash the parts in warm
soapy water. Clean the inside of the faucet and the connection to the device by using a
small bottle brush.
