WARRANTY

Limited Lifetime Warranty

CLEANING

To preserve the look of your product, it should be cleaned with a mild soap, rinsed with clean water and dried with a soft cloth. For best care, wipe dry after use. To avoid water spotting, wax regularly. Do not use products with abrasives, ammonia, bleach or alcohol. Important: Do not use abrasive, irritant or corrosive products (such as detergents oo other products containing ammonia).

MAINTAINING

Always rinse and/or clean the faucets after having sprayed cleaning products onto other surrounding surfaced, including mirrors and ceramic tiles. On vertical surfaces, spray with a wax on a weekly basis. Do not rub or buff. PVD or Physical Deposition is a process of coating a surface with a durable coating that is very strong and resists chemicals and abrasion. While very durable, do not use abrasives, ammonia, bleach or alcohol for cleaning.

OUTSIDE USE

Riobel products may be used outside; However, when installed outside the warranty is no longer offered. Finishes with PVD will wear well in most conditions, but the UV sunlight, rain snow and freezing weather can compromise the finish. If possible, avoid direct sunlight. If in freezing temperatures, winterize fixtures by removing the cartridges, drain all water or store fixtures indoors. Pat dry after use to avoid hard water spots. A spray wax on vertical surfaces is recommended. If mineral or salt are accumulating on the fixture, clean by applying a 50/50 solution of water and white vinegar, then pat dry. Do not soak the fixture in the vinegar solution or allow the vinegar solution to soak on the finish. Spray weekly with fresh water, wipe dry and apply Flitz Wax or Bruno's Faucet Wax to avoid hard water spotting. Do not use products with abrasives, ammonia, bleach or alcohol. Important: Do not use abrasive, irritant or corrosive products (such as detergents or other products containing ammonia).
