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.
