Care and Cleaning Instructions

Cleaning Your Kohler Cast Iron Whirlpool

-Rinse the whirlpool thoroughly after each use and use a soft cloth to wipe it dry. If the surface becomes dirty, use a general purpose cleaner such as Scrub FreeR Mildew Stain Remover, Clorox Clean-UpR, Glass PlusR, WindexR Original, FantasticR All Purpose, Mr. Clean Top Job, Formula 409R All Purpose, LysolR Basin, Tub & Tile Cleaner or Scrubbing BubblesR Bathroom Cleaner.

IMPORTANT! Use water soluble cleaners (dissolve 100% in water). Cream-based cleaners may have a tendency to build up, reducing the friction on slip-resistant surfaces.

-BCD Rog 3 Non-Acid Bathroom Cleaner may be used on the Safeguard surface or whirlpool. It is not sold commercially. Call 1-800-470-8337 to order. A soft nylon brush may be used on the Safeguard surface.

-Do not use steel wool, wire brushes or abrasive sponge pads. In the rare occurence of stubborn stains, use abrasives or abrasive cleaners sparingly, but not on the Safeguard surface on the bottom of the whirlpool.

-For occasional rust removal you may use WhinkR Rust & Iron Stain Remover or Muriatic Acid.

Cleaning Your User Keypad and Remote Control

-Use a soft cloth to wipe the keypad and remote control after each use. If the surface becomes dirty, use a non-abrasive soap and warm water to clean.

Flushing Your Whirlpool System

Flush your whirlpool system twice a month or more, depending upon usage. Use the following sequence:

-Turn the jet trim rings fully clockwise to remove air induction.

-Fill the whirlpool with warm water to a level at least 2” (5cm) above the highest jets, or leave water in the whirlpool after using.

-Add 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of a low-foaming dishwasher detergent and 20 ounces (590 ml) of household bleach (5% - 6% sodium hypochlorite) to the water.

-Run the whirlpool for 5 to 10 minutes. Turn off the whirlpool and drain.

-If desired, rinse the bath surfaces with water.

-Rinse the surfaces of the jets, faucet, handrails, drain, etc. and wipe them dry with a soft cloth.
