one half turn or 180°. Reinstall handle parts. Tighten handle screw securely; replace handle cover.
Cleaning & Care Instructions for
Special Finish Models:
All that is necessary to clean these faucets is to wipe them with a soft, damp cloth such as terrycloth. Warm water will
remove dry water spots. CAUTION: DO NOT use cleansers which contain abrasives or harsh chemicals. NEVER use
alcohol or other organic solvents. A high quality, non abrasive wax polish applied occasionally will help to preserve the
deep tones of the finish.
Reassembly
Fully insert the cartridge until the top of the cartridge ears are level with the top of the faucet body. Position the cartridge
ears up and down to allow insertion of the retainer clip (see illustration on page one). Replace the retainer clip (for lever
handles replace spacer, grooved sleeve, retainer clip, and clip retainer ring) so that the legs straddle the cartridge ears
and slide down into the bottom slot in the body. This prevents the cartridge from rotating and locks it in the body. Re-
install handle parts (For concentrix models make sure the gasket fits up under and into the handle cover recess, then
screw on the handle cover and hand tighten). Tighten handle screw securely. Press on handle cover. The notched flat
on the stem must point UP when mounting Knob or Concentrix Handles, DOWN for Lever Handle models.
