USER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
Caution! Risk of product damage. Many cleaners contain abrasive and
chemical substances, and should not be used for cleaning stainless steel,
wood, enamel, plated or plastic fittings. These finishes should be cleaned
using a mild washing up detergent or soap solution, rinsed and then wiped
dry with a soft clean cloth.
Door and Cabinet Care:Usually regular cleaning with a damp cloth is
sufficient. Never use strong detergents or abrasive cleaners as this may
damage the surface finish of your furniture.
Glass Care:When cleaning glass panels or mirrors, use a damp cloth or
leather with washing-up liquid or soft soap. Do not use washing powders or
any other substance containing abrasives, as these will scratch the glass.
Bathroom furniture may deteriorate if subjected to heavy water spillage or
prolonged condensation. Any edges that may come into contact with water
must be sealed.
We strongly recommend that all installations are well ventilated, failure to
do so may invalidate your guarantee.
