Notes from the research
  • Maker domain calphalon.scene7.com (Calphalon's Adobe Scene7 asset host) is not in the allowlist; Calphalon has no allowlist entry.
  • The PDF text layer interleaves illustration labels with the instructions, so several quotes are sentence fragments; the full sentences are in each note.
  • No shower screen, water tank or filter guidance; gasket replacement goes through Calphalon Customer Care.
