CLEANING
To keep the material's appearance as long as possible, a few guidelines must be followed.
Cleaning metal parts: water contains calcium that deposits on surfaces and forms unpleasant
spots. For routine cleaning,simply use a damp cloth with a little soap, rinse and dry. Calcium spots
can therefore be avoided by drying after use.
Important note: Using only a soap-based detergent is recommended. Never use abrasive detergents
or disinfectants or those containing alcohol, hydrochloric acid or phosphoric acid.
Dear Customer, we would like to remind you that the warranty on our product's surface is not valid if
the material undergoes treatment different than that suggested. The warranty does not cover any
damage due to deposits of calcium or impurities.
