CARE GUIDE

TIMBER, PAINTED AND VENEERED DOORS

For product cleaning only use a 5% soap, 95% water (liquid soap) solution, wiping with a damp (not wet) cloth, finally drying with a soft clean cloth. Dust with a soft cloth only, following the grain pattern of the wood. DO NOT USE abrasive or aggressive cleaners, bleach or other hypochlorate (chlorine) based cleaners, multi-purpose cleaners, acetone,alcohol, solvent or similar products on the door as this will damage the surface.

It is advisable to use a damp (not wet) cloth to remove fingerprints and marks, followed at once with a clean and dry soft cloth. Cooking splashes should be wiped up immediately using a damp cloth.All timbers are adversely affected by the environment in which they are installed, particularly a moist climate and in high levels of humidity. Timber is hygroscopic which means the material will take up or let out moisture depending on the environment it is placed in. We therefore recommend that timber doors only be installed in areas that have been suitably acclimatized so that the timber is allowed to find its EMC (equilibrium moisture content). Most people are aware of the fact that wood changes colour when exposed to light, the rate of change being dependent upon the species and the intensity of the exposure. Therefore, please consider that when ordering an additional timber door after the original kitchen has been installed that a variation in colour is probable. Also, as solid timber products mature slightly with agewe advise that samples are changed on a regular basis, after approximately six months.

VINYL, LAQUERED AND HIGH GLOSS DOORS

For product cleaning only use a 5% soap,95% water (liquid soap) solution, wiping with a damp (not wet) cloth, finally drying with a soft clean cloth. Dust with a soft cloth only. DO NOT USE wax-furniture polish, abrasive or aggressive cleaners, bleach or other hypochlorate (chlorine) based cleaners, multi-purpose cleaners, acetone, alcohol, solvent or similar products on the door, as this will damage the surface.

Cooking splashes should be wiped up immediately using a damp cloth.If the doors are supplied with a protective film on the face they must not be directly exposed to sunlight. It is recommended the film is removed as soon as possible.

CARCASS MAINTENANCE

A) General Care of Cabinets

To keep your units in good condition, it is advisable that you check regularly (every 3 months) that no screws in hinges,drawer runners etc. have worked loose, thus placing extra pressure on the components.

B) Cleaning of Melanine Carcass and Fronts

Using a damp cloth, apply a small amount of mild detergent/soft soap to the area to be cleaned and gently wipe over the surface in one direction. Then wipe over the surface with a clean dry cloth. We do not recommend the use of abrasive agents or creams for this purpose.

WORKTOP MAINTENANCE

The following guide contains useful care & maintenance advice. Please read the following instructions as proper care and maintenance of the work surface will help maintain its pristine good looks, whilst giving years of excellent service.

AFTER CARE

Your work surface is very easy to maintain. For everyday cleaning simply wipe over with your favourite detergent diluted with water. Persistent marks can be removed using a non-abrasive cream cleaner and a gentle circular rubbing action tothe affected area. Gloss work surfaces require a little more care. After cleaning with detergent and water as described above, buff over the surface with a clean, dry soft cloth to maintain its glossy looks. Please never ever use scouring powders or abrasive pads on any work surface as they can damage the surface.

HEAT

Please take care to protect your work surface from direct contact with heat. For example, you should never place cooking utensils directly from the oven or hob onto the work surface. Always use protective mats. Also, please avoid placing electric kettles and deep fat fryers over work surface joints; certain models can generate excessive heat which may degrade your joint allowing moisture to penetrate.

Metallic finishes provide a gorgeous fashion finish but should be treated with extra care. Due to the reflective nature ofthe metallic particles, application of heat may result in some movement of the protective overlay. Always use a mat or trivet to protect the surface if your utensil is too hot to handle.

SCRATCHING

Never cut directly onto any work surface: a chopping board should always be used to protect the surface from cut marks. Your work surface is remarkably resistant to the everyday sliding of crockery and utensils across the work surface. Gloss and smoother textures require extra care and attention as do very dark decors. Being a highly reflective finish gloss will tend to show scuffs and scratches more readily than textured finishes. We cannot accept responsibility for the performance of the gloss laminate finish with respect to marks and scuffs.

MOISTURE

Work surfaces are sealed to protect against water penetration but we advise that you immediately wipe up any water spillages, especially around the front edge and any joints. In addition, take care not to let moisture lie on joints e.g. froma wet cloth, as this can also lead to water ingress.

APPLIANCES

Every work surface is supplied factory sealed along the front edge and underside. However, please follow a couple of simple rules to prevent excess moisture causing potential damage to the work surface and adjacent units. First, make sure any appliance door seals are intact to prevent steam escaping in use. Secondly, don't open your dishwasher until ithas cooled down. This prevents steam escaping and condensing on the adjacent units and work surface.

STAINING

Your work surface is resistant to most common household chemicals or foodstuffs, including alcohol and cosmetics.Some items may cause staining. For good practice we advise that any spillage is wiped off straight away.

PVC APRONS

We have found that PVC aprons can cause premature wear to the leading edge of the work surface. This becomes obvious over a period of time as a shiny area and is most obvious in areas of high use in front of the sink and hob.Order Acknowledgement version 3.2 Page 18 of 18
