MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS - DO IT YOURSELF

One of the major problems that the households face is the maintenance of taps. With Underground Water being used, water will always have dissolved particles in it which travels across to the taps and may clog the aerator resulting in low flow of water.
We acknowledge it may always be not feasible to call a plumber for repairs, hence would request each consumer to routinely follow simple steps to maintain your PENGUIN Taps Installed:

SIMPLE STEPS TO HELP YOU MAINTAIN YOUR PENGUIN FAUCET

To keep the exterior finish of our product i.e. Chromium Plated/ Coloured Surface shining for years, clean it with the help of mild soap & water. Do not use an abrasive sponge or scouring agents for cleaning.We also advise you not to use cleaning agents containing solvent or acid, lime scale removers, household vinegar and cleaning agents with acetic acid in them.

Clean Taps with a little soap and moist cloth only, then simply rinse off and wipe dry. You can avoid lime spots (White Spots) by drying the fitting each time it is used. After drying you can apply a coat of wax polish to protect the surface from settlement of water for a considerable period of time.

To clean the aerator first open the housing by unscrewing it clock wise, take out the aerator.

Wash it with water, clean it and simply attach it again. Here you go steady high flow of water. Surely you save a few bucks here.

Put back the assembled Aerator on the tap and screw it by rotation anti Clock wise direction.
