MAINTENANCE
TAPS AND FITTINGS
First of all thank you for purchasing our Noken products. All Noken products are manufactured with the aim of
offering a reliable service through the years. As for the taps of other manufacturer, also our products require
special care and maintenance to guarantee that the bathroom looks perfect.
TAP SURFACE
In compliance with the DIN EN standard the protection layer, usually used for the production of the taps, is
composed of metals as chrome, nickel, steel brass and others, able to avoid humidity. Before any cleaning
operation it is necessary to carefully analyze the kind of surface to clean.
CLEANING
To clean the taps and the fittings take into account the following:
- For periodical cleaning use hot water with soap; otherwise use only gels or liquid detergents, always rinsing
thoroughly with clean water after washing.
- Never use, not even once, products containing phosphoric, hydrochloric, muriatic, formic or acetic acid, since
they may produce significant damage. Use neutral PH.
- Always dry the items after washing them to avoid limescale.
WARNING
- The cleaning products increase the deterioration of already damaged surfaces.
- Do not mix the detergents, since chemical reactions could cause toxic reactions.
- Do not use sponges or other abrasive objects, or aggressive detergents.
- Never use, to clean these surfaces, bleach with chlorine.
- Only use detergents indicated by the manufacturers for each kind of surface and finish.
ADVICE FOR CLEANING AND CONSERVATION OF TAPS AND FITTINGS
- Read manufacturer's instructions.
- The periodical cleaning reduces lime scale and dirt formation.
- Cleaning products should not be used for a time longer than the necessary one.
- When using spray products, do not direct the jet of the spray directly on the tap and fittings, instead apply it
on a cloth or on a sponge. The sprayed liquid could enter into the holes and cracks of the taps and fittings
causing irreversible damage.
- If the tap trickles, stains or lime scale plates could appear, please check it is always properly closed.
- If necessary use the usual descaler, in this event please read manufacturer's instructions and, after use,
always rinse the tap with clean water.
- To protect the mechanical parts of the taps and guarantee their duration, Noken recommends the installation
of filter stop cocks.
