Manteniment

Regular maintenance will help preserve the appearance and functionality of your IMEX GTA052 ASSEN shower faucet.

• Cleaning Chrome Surfaces: Clean the chrome finish regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap or a non-abrasive cleaner specifically designed for chrome. Avoid using abrasive sponges, harsh chemicals, or acidic cleaners, as these can damage the finish. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Thermostatic Cartridge (TURN CLEAN SYSTEM): The integrated TURN CLEAN SYSTEM thermostatic cartridge is self-cleaning, which helps prevent limescale buildup and ensures consistent temperature control. No special user maintenance is typically required for the cartridge itself, beyond regular use.
• Anti-Limescale Shower Head: The stainless steel shower head features anti-limescale nozzles. Periodically rub the silicone nozzles to dislodge any mineral deposits. For more stubborn buildup, a mild descaling solution can be used, followed by thorough rinsing.
• Hose and Hand Shower: Clean the PVC hose and hand shower with a soft cloth and mild soap. Check the hose periodically for any signs of wear or damage.
