Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation should be carried out by a qualified plumber and electrician to ensure the dual fuel system is correctly pressurized and the electrical connection meets safety standards.

For care, wipe down the Matt Black finish with a soft, damp cloth only; avoid using abrasive chemicals or acidic cleaners, as these can strip the finish and cause oxidation over time.
