All CEA bathroom fixtures are made from AISI 316L stainless steel, which is an ecological friendly material, and are recyclable, hygienic, anti-bacterial, and resistant to limestone and salt. To keep the taps long-lasting, it is recommended to clean them on a regular basis using products specific to stainless steel.  Rinsing and drying is fundamental to prevent the formation of limestone deposits.

Do not use sanitizers, such as bleach, chlorides or non-ionic surfactants that could cause damage to the stainless steel.  Avoid bleach, ammonia, and aggressive detergents. Do not use scouring pads, or brushes, as these can scratch the surface and ruin the satin or polished finish.

The shower heads with silicon nozzles must be scrubbed regularly to break the deposit build-up inside and rinsed away to avoid damage.  It is recommended that after each use of your CEA shower head, incline them slightly to allow the release of extra water inside.  This minimizes the negative effects of related limescale build-up.  CEA also suggests the use of water softening installation or a whole-house filtration system.

• Limescale deposits: Any dirt of debris in the aerator filters can be removed by dismounting the aerator with the appropriate key and submerging it in a vinegar solution for a few hours, and then rinse. If you need assistance with obtaining a key to unlock a CEA shower aerator, please reach out to Specialty Hardware + Plumbing.
• Rust: Rust stains caused by prolonged contact of metal by water or a high percentage of iron, can be removed by gently rubbing the rust stain with a wet, soft cloth and non-abrasive mild cleanser. Rinse extensively and dry with cloth.
• Scratches: The satin and polished stainless-steel finish by CEA can be restored with mechanical processing. It is recommended that if a scratch does occur, you have your products mechanically buffed by CEADESIGN directly.
• Spare parts: CEA offers spare parts. You will want to make note of your original order and work with your distributor to access the correct spare parts.

ARIACHIARA combines multiple layers of air stratification with air purification, lighting and music. Purifying the air through an ionization and ozonation system means breaking down virus, bacteria, allergens, carbon monoxide (PM 2.5 and PM 10) and odors (e.g. smoke) from the environment, thus purifying the air you breathe and improving the sense of well-being. Ideal in environments of conviviality, ARIACHIARA was created to also perform the function of diffused light emitted by an LED system at 3000 Kelvin (natural daylight) and at the same time suffused, almost as a courtesy light, to support punctual lighting in the rooms. In light, it is also possible to combine music, always with a background function, designed to accompany every moment of relaxation. Light and audio system in Bluetooth mode are included in the ceiling light. The product range also includes lighting fixtures, with sound system and air purification included, to be added to the fan to complete the luminous and sound setting of the rooms (ARC10 and ARC11).
The ceiling fans of the ARIACHIARA collection have obtained the CB Certification, in accordance with European safety standards, and a Tropical Class T certificate which certifies their suitability for operation in environments with temperatures between 10 °C and 43 °C.
