Failure to adhere to the following recommended Care & Maintenance advice may void the product’s warranty.
OUTDOOR DOORS, DRAWER FRONTS, SEEN RAILS & KICKBOARD
Manufactured from compact laminate, which is durable, impervious to water, stain and wear resistant, this material is ideal for outdoor areas. To keep your compact laminate looking good they must not be exposed to direct sunlight or rain and periodically cleaned with a soft cloth moistened with plain water. Mild detergent can be added to plain water for spills. Avoid excessive water on the compact laminate.
INDOOR DOORS, DRAWER FRONTS, SEEN RAILS & KICKBOARD
Manufactured from 18mm moisture resistant MDF formed on the face and edges with a hard, scratch resistant and exceptionally durable polyurethane Italian paint finish or engineered wood veneers, both these door finishes are ideal for indoor use. To keep your doors looking good, wipe down using a damp soft cloth containing warm soapy water or use a good quality streak free glass cleaner. Dry, using a soft cloth so as not to leave any residue on the door or panels. Always ensure that you refer to the recommendations provided by the cleaning product manufacturer before use. Do not use commercial cleaning products, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads or abrasive pads, acids and alkalis, solvents, thinners, turpentine, ammonia, bleach, acetone, or any other cleaning agents containing organic solvents when cleaning your doors and panels. Avoid contact with sharp implements.
INDOOR CABINETS
All indoor cabinets are made from 16mm high moisture resistant E1 grade particle board formed on the edges with environmentally friendly and recyclable ABS products. The same care & maintenance regime for Compact Laminate, applies to the cabinets. As soon as any spills are noticed inside a cabinet, immediately clean the surface.
OUTDOOR, INDOOR & VANITY CABINETS
All outdoor cabinets are made from 16mm Celuka grade, PVC foamed filled material, which is lead free, waterproof & recyclable. The same care & maintenance regime for Compact Laminate applies to the cabinets. As soon as any spills are noticed inside a cabinet, immediately clean the surface.
DOOR HINGES, SOFT CLOSE RUNNERS & PULL OUT ACCESSORIES
These can be cleaned periodically with a clean dry cloth. Ensure moving parts are free from foreign matter and any liquid spills.
STONE BENCHTOPS AND ENDS
A periodic clean with a soft cloth moistened with plain water is generally all that is required. For spills, a little mild detergent can be added to the water. Immediately clean up any spills to minimise the risk of staining from liquids such as red wine, coffee, tea. Your stone benchtop is supplied pre-sealed and colours have been selected for its low porosity. We recommend specifically formulated Granite & Quartz cleaner and sealing products (available from your hardware store) to re-seal when you see that water is not beading on the surface. Avoid excessive heat as the Granite or Quartz may crack. It is inevitable that there will be scratches on the top from general use. Sliding, pots, pans, utensils across the surface will contribute to scratching, but will not affect the performance of the bench top.
