RECOMMENDATIONS TO KEEP YOUR PRODUCT LOOKING ITS BEST OVER THE YEARS
WOOD VEENER AREAS
DOORS. WOODEN DOORS ARE PROTECTED WITH A SPECIAL VARNISH, WHOSE FUNCTION IS TO REPEL GREASE AND DIRT.
IN ADDITION THIS VARNISH PREVENTS THE NATURAL YELLOWING OF THE WOOD AND MAKES IT WATER-REPELLENT. FOR
THESE REASONS THE PAINT SHOULD NOT BE SCRATCHED OR PUT IN CONTACT WITH OBJECTS OF HIGH TEMPERATURE
WHICH MAY CREATE BUBBLING AND DETACH IT. TO CLEAN THE DOORS SIMPLY USE COMMON DETERGENTS FOR
CLEANING GLASS. FOR MORE PERSISTENT STAINS, YOU CAN USE ALCOHOL DILUTED WITH WATER. AFTERWARDS DRY
WITH A SOFT CLOTH.
TOPS. CLEAN THE TOPS WITH GLASS DETERGENTS OR ALCOHOL DILUTED IN A LOT OF WATER. WOODEN TOPS RESIST
HEAT UP TO 120°, BUT WE ADVISE AGAINST PLACING POTS JUST TAKEN FROM THE FIRE. THE WOOD CAN PRESENT
DIFFERENCES, EVEN CONSIDERABLY, IN THE VENEER AND COLOUR TONE: THESE ARE PARTICULAR FEATURES OF THIS
MATERIAL.
DON'T USE ABRASIVE POWDERS, WHICH MIGHT DETERIORATE WOOD SURFACES; DON'T USE ACETONE, CHLORINE OR
DILUTING THAT LEAVE STAINS AND DAMAGES THE DOORS; DON'T RUB WAXES OR FURNITURE POLISH THAT ARE NOT
NECESSARY AND CAN DAMAGE THE VARNISH.
STAINLESS STEEL AREAS
DOORS. STAINLESS STEEL IS A HIGHLY HYGIENIC MATERIAL, EASY TO CLEAN. THE TOPS MAY BE RINSED WITH WATER
AND DRIED WITH A SOFT CLOTH. YOU CAN USE COMMON PRODUCTS AVAILABLE FOR CLEANING STEEL. THE DOOR HAS
TO BE CLEANED FOLLOWING THE GRAIN OF THE GLAZE. IF YOU USE VERY CALCAREOUS WATER, WHITE SPOTS MAY
ARISE. THEY CAN BE ELIMINATED WITH HOT WATER AND BICARBONATE.
TOPS. RINSE OUT THE TOP WITH WATER AND DRY IT WITH A CLEAN CLOTH OR A DOESKING. FOR MORE CAREFUL
CLEANING USE SPECIFIC DETERGENTS FOR SINK AND TOPS. IF AFTER SOME TIME THE STEEL PRESENTS A MAT ASPECT
USE WHITE CALCIUM CARBONATE SOLD IN POWDER. CLEAN ALWAYS ACCORDING TO THE GRAIN OF THE GLAZE. PAY
ATTENTION THAT UNDER THE TOP THERE IS NO OPEN BOTTLE OF DETERGENTS OR OTHER CHEMICAL PRODUCTS: THE
FUMES MAY CAUSE RUST. DON'T LEAVE ON THE STAINLESS STEEL COUNTERTOP OBJECTS IN RUSTED IRON.
DON'T USE ABRASIVE POWDERS AND PRODUCTS, AS THEY MIGHT SCRATCH THE SURFACES. ANALOGOUSLY FOR THE
TOP, DO NOT USE STEEL WOOL AND SIMILAR AGGRESSIVE PRODUCTS, WHICH CONTAIN CHLORINE, MURIATIC ACID, OR
BLEACH.
ELEMENTS INOX ANTI-IMPRINT
DOORS IN ANTI-IMPRINT STEEL REQUIRE A SPECIAL MAINTENANCE TO AVOID DEMAGES OF THE ANTI-IMPRINT
TREATMENT. FOR THIS REASON WE RECOMMEND TO AVOID CONTACT WITH HIGH HEATSOURCES AND WATER VAPOUR,
THE USE OF ABRASIVE SPONGES AND SOLVENTS.
FOR CLEANING USE A SOFT CLOTH WITH LUKEWARM WATER OR WITH A NEUTRAL CLEANER AND DRY WITH A SOFT
AND CLEAN CLOTH.
DO NOT SPRAY THE CLEANER DIRECTLY ON THE SURFACE. DO NOT USE CLEANERS CONTAINING AMMONIA.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO KEEP YOUR PRODUCT LOOKING ITS BEST OVER THE YEARS
TOP IN CORIAN
THE WORKTOP IN CORIAN IS EXTREMELY HYGIENIC SINCE IT IS NON POROUS. ALTHOUGH LIQUIDS CANNOT PENETRATE
CORIAN, IT IS BEST TO WIPE UP SPILLS AS THEY OCCUR. JUST USE A DAMP CLOTH AND A MILD CREAM ABRASIVE
CLEANSER OR A COMMON HOUSEHOLD DEGREASER (E.G. JIF, BAR KEEPERS FRIEND). ALWAYS CLEAN USING A
CIRCULAR MOTION.
FOR STAINS CAUSED BY LIQUIDS SUCH AS VINEGAR, COFFEE, TEA, LEMON JUICE, DYES, KETCHUP, RED WINE OR
VEGETAL OILS FIRST, TRY THE EASY METHODS, THEN PROGRESS WITH AN ABRASIVE PLASTIC SCOURING PAD AND
A DETERGENT OR AN AMMONIA BASED HARD-SURFACE CLEANER. ONLY WITH A REALLY PERSISTENT STAIN AS
LILY POLLEN, OR SAFFRON, OR WITH A LIGHT SCRATCH, SHOULD YOU NEED TO RESORT TO AN ABRASIVE PLASTIC
SCOURING PAD AND RUB OVER THE STAIN WITH SOME BLEACH. RINSE SEVERAL TIMES WITH WARM WATER AND DRY
WITH A SOFT CLOTH. ALWAYS RESTORE THE OVERALL LUSTER AFTERWARDS, USING A DAMP CLOTH AND A MILD
CREAM ABRASIVE CLEANER AND BLEND THE SCRUBBED AREA INTO THE ENTIRE SURFACE BY RUBBING IN A CIRCULAR
MOTION.
ALWAYS USE A HEAT PROTECTION PAD, TRIVET (WITH RUBBER FEET) OR PROTECTIVE SINK MAT FOR HOT COOKWARE,
OR LEAVE COOKWARE TO COOL ON THE HOB FIRST. NEVER PUT HOT PANS, PARTICULARLY CAST IRON, DIRECTLY ON
A CORIAN TOP. SUCH HEAT CAN DAMAGE ANY SURFACE. ALWAYS USE THE CORRECT SIZE PAN ON THE BURNER AND
PLACE IT CENTRALLY. AN OVERHANGING PAN SCORCHES SURROUNDING SURFACES. NEVER CUT OR CHOP ON THE
CORIAN WORK SURFACE DARK, HEAVILY PIGMENTED COLOURS WILL SHOW SCRATCHES, DUST AND ORDINARY WEAR
AND TEAR MORE READILY THAN LIGHTER, TEXTURED COLOURS. ACCIDENTAL SPILLS OF STRONG CHEMICALS (E.G.
PAINT STRIPPER, BRUSH CLEANERS, METAL CLEANERS, OVEN CLEANERS, CLEANERS CONTAINING METHYLENECHLORIDE,
ACID DRAIN CLEANERS, ACETONE-BASED NAIL VARNISH REMOVERS ETC.) SHOULD BE FLUSHED PROMPTLY WITH
PLENTY OF SOAPY WATER TO AVOID DAMAGING WORKTOPS. CORIAN IS INHERENTLY "RENEWABLE" BECAUSE IT IS
SOLID AND HOMOGENEOUS ALL THE WAY THROUGH. MOST DAMAGE, INCLUDING SEVERE IMPACT, HEAT OR CHEMICAL
DAMAGE, CAN USUALLY BE REPAIRED ON SITE TO RESTORE THE ORIGINAL, SMOOTH, HYGIENIC SOLID SURFACE
INTEGRITY.
ALL OUR WORKTOPS ARE DELIVERED WITH TEN YEAR GUARANTEE DUPONT CORIAN AND WITH MANUAL FOR USE,
MAINTENANCE AND CARE.
TOPS IN MARBLE
CLEAN WITH LUKEWARM WATER AND NEUTRAL SOAP USING A CLOTH OR SPONGE. MARBLE IS A MATERIAL THAT MUST
BE CLEANED WITH EXTREME CARE: BEING POROUS IT CAN ABSORB LIQUIDS RESULTING IN STAINS.
VARENNA SURFACES ARE TREATED WITH A SPECIAL ANTI-STAIN AND ANTI-OIL PRODUCT; BUT IT IS FONDAMENTAL
TO CLEAN IMMEDIATELY THE "FRESH STAINS" OF COLOURED LIQUIDS AND TO AVOID THE USE OF ACID LIQUID
DETERGENTS. FOR THE PRESERVATION OF THE SURFACES IT IS RECOMMENDED TO EXECUTE THE TREATMENT WITH
LIQUID OR WATER-REPELLENT WAX FOR MARBLE EVERY 2 MONTHS. IN CASE OF PARTICULARLY DIRTY SURFACES USE
PROOF OIL, A NATURAL TREATMENT FOR MARBLES RECOMMENDED BY VARENNA.
ABSOLUTELY AVOID ABRASIVE OR AGGRESSIVE PRODUCTS: ACIDIC DETERGENTS, BLEACH OR STEEL WOOL.
ALL OUR WORKTOPS ARE DELIVERED WITH MANUAL OF USE, MAINTENANCE AND CARE.
TOPS IN QUARTZ
THE AGGLOMERATES OF QUARTZ ARE MATERIALS OF HIGH COMPACTNESS AND LOW ASORBENT POWER: THEY
RESIST TO ACIDS, THEY DO NOT ABSORB LIQUIDS, ODORS, AND ALIMENTARY FATS. THEY ARE SIMPLY TO CLEAN AND
GUARANTEE THE HYGIENE, THEY RESIST TO A GREAT NUMBER OF DAILY USE STAINS AND DAILY DOMESTIC INCIDENTS
LIKE SCRATCHES AND SMALL HITS.
FOR THE ORDINARY CLEANING IT IS RECOMMENDED TO USE NEUTRAL DETERGENTS AND WATER, BUT IT IS
FONDAMENTAL TO CLEAN UP THE "FRESH STAINS" IMMEDIATELY. IN CASE OF PARTICULARLY DIRTY SURFACES IT
IS POSSIBLE TO USE ALSO AGGRESSIV DETERGENTS CONTAINING ACIDS LIKE VIAKAL AND AIAX BAGNO OR ORANGE
CLEAN, WHICH IS A NATURAL DETERGENT RECOMMENDED BY VARENNA. ALTHOUGH THE MATERIAL CAN RESIST TO
HIGH TEMPERATURES IT IS APPROPRIATED TO PROTECT IT BY USING HOT PADS TO AVOID THE DIRECT CONTACT WITH
THE BURNED POTS OR TABLEWARE.
ALL OUR WORKTOPS ARE DELIVERED WITH TEN YEAR GUARANTEE AND WITH MANUAL FOR USE, MAINTENANCE AND CARE.
