Care and Cleaning

WARNING: Risk of property or product damage. Do not use

in-tank cleaners in your toilet. Products containing chlorine

(calcium hypochlorite) can seriously damage ﬁttings in the

tank. This damage can cause leakage and property damage.

Kohler Co. shall not be responsible or liable for any tank ﬁtting

damage caused by the use of cleaners containing chlorine (calcium

hypochlorite).

For best results, keep the following in mind when caring for your

KOHLER product:

•Use a mild detergent such as liquid dishwashing soap and warm

water for cleaning. Do not use abrasive cleaners that may scratch

or dull the surface.

•Carefully read the cleaner product label to ensure the cleaner is

safe for use on the material.

•Always test your cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area

before applying to the entire surface.

•Do not allow cleaners to sit or soak on the surface.

•Wipe surfaces clean and rinse completely with water immediately

after cleaner application. Rinse and dry any overspray that lands

on nearby surfaces.

•Use a soft, dampened sponge or cloth. Never use an abrasive

material such as a brush or scouring pad to clean surfaces.

Entretien et nettoyage

AVERTISSEMENT : Risque d’endommagent du produit. Ne

vériﬁer qu’il soit adéquat à utiliser sur le matériau.

Kohler Co. Français-1 1031600-5-D

Entretien et nettoyage (cont.)

évidente avant de l’appliquer sur la totalité de la surface.

tout éclaboussement sur les surfaces avoisinantes.
