Before You Turn on Your Faucet After Installation
During construction of your new home or when installing the faucet it is possible that debris (dirt, sand, stones, etc) may have fallen into the water lines. Price Pfister suggests, as a precautionary measure, that you conduct the following cleaning procedure on your kitchen and lavatory faucets.
- Carefully unscrew the aerator from the spout of the faucet
- After turning on the cold and hot water supply lines, turn the faucet handle to the fully open cold position. Run the water for several minutes until any debris has cleared the valve, and then turn the faucet handle to the closed position. Repeat step for hot water.
- Rinse the aerator's cone-shaped screen to eliminate any debris in it.
- Securely screw the aerator back into the spout, and check for any leaks.
- If any troubles occur or if installation help is needed, please contact Pfister Consumer Service at 1-800-Pfaucet (800-732-8238).
Keeping Your Pfister Faucet in Good Working Order
Pfister has made it easy for you to care for your kitchen and bathroom faucets, fixtures and accessories. In most cases, a soft damp cloth will keep your products looking like new for years to come.
Lightly soak the cloth with warm, soapy water and clean faucet surfaces regularly. Avoid using polish, detergents, abrasive cleaners, organic solvents or any product that has acid in it. This will nullify your lifetime warranty and damage the finish.
If you follow our care instructions and still have problems with the finish of your Pfister products, we have a Pforever Warranty® that covers the finish (with proper care) and the function of your faucets and fixtures for life, so you never have to worry that the luster and flawless performance of every product will fade with time.
