How often should I clean the plunger?

It is recommended to rinse the plunger with clean water after each use and store it in a dry place to maintain its condition.

What should I do if the plunger doesn't seem to work?

Ensure you are creating a good seal and using a consistent plunging motion. If the blockage is severe, it might require specialized tools or professional help.

Troubleshooting

Plunger not creating a strong seal

Ensure the drain opening is wet and free of debris. Position the plunger cup directly over the drain, ensuring full coverage. Apply gentle downward pressure to create a seal before plunging.

Blockage not clearing after multiple attempts

Check that there is sufficient water in the fixture to cover the plunger cup. Try a more vigorous plunging action. If the blockage persists, it may require a different clearing method or professional assistance.

Plunger appears to be damaged

Inspect the plunger for any tears or cracks in the rubber cup or handle. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact the retailer or Draper for warranty information.
