Cleaning Your Faucet, Drain, Metal Suction Screen, and Trim

Like anything of lasting quality, Kohler faucets and accessories require a certain amount of periodic care to
preserve their lustrous finish. Clean your new Kohler faucet and drain with a mild soap, rinse thoroughly
with warm water, and dry with a clean, soft cloth.
Never use cleaners containing abrasive cleansers, ammonia, bleach, acids, waxes, alcohol, or solvents for
cleaning as they may damage the finish. By taking the time to dry your faucet and drain, soap and water
deposits can be prevented. Failure to comply with these cleaning instructions may void Kohler's warranty
obligations.

Flushing the Recirculation System

Flush the recirculation system twice a month or more, depending upon usage.
• Make sure the metal suction screen is clean, and is correctly installed over the plastic suction cover.
• Fill the bathing well with hot water so the bathing well overflows the bathing well rim and flows
into the overflow channel to the drain overflow, and so both overflow channel sensors are
completely covered with water. The green light in the pump control switch will start to blink
automatically within 1/2 minute after the overflow channel sensors are completely submerged.
• Add 2 teaspoons of a low-foaming dishwasher detergent, and 20 oz. (.6 L) of household bleach to
the water.
• Press the pump control switch button, and let the unit run for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Press the pump control switch button a second time to turn off the unit.
• Completely drain the unit.
• Wipe the surface dry with a clean, soft cloth.
