Care and Maintenance
EASY DAILY CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
Water stains or a small quantity of smears may be removed easily by using a wet cloth and a little household
cleaner, mild detergent or soapy water.
THE SURFACE
The surface can be cleaned with ne gauze with soap and water. Commonly used glass cleaners are the best
agent to keep the surface clean and shiny.
MINOR STAINS OR SCRATCHES
May be eliminated by rubbing with a mild detergent and cloth. Larger scratches may be eliminated with ne
sand paper (800-1000 grit). The surface gloss will be restored after it is rubbed with cloth and water.
SERIOUS STAINS, CIGARETTE BURNS OR SCORES
Stains or scores may be eliminated with sandpaper and water and polished with a polishing machine (buer).
With regard to more serious damage, please contact professional distributors who know techniques and
possess equipment for repairing scratches.
USE AND FOOD SAFETY
The surface is smooth, so there is nowhere for bacteria or pathogens to hide. It is NSF certied and allows for
direct contact with food. However, we would still recommend you clean it before use and do not put other food
where raw meat is present until the area is completely cleaned. Cleaning with a diluted household disinfectant
will provide extra health protection.
USING HOT PADS
The surface is heat resistant and remains stable and undamaged below a temperature of 212
º
F (100
º
C);
however, high temperature and ame may scorch the countertop. This kind of damage can be removed under
most circumstances, but the use of a hot pad or insulated material on the surface will protect the countertop.
CUTTING
Direct cutting on the surface should be avoided.
SUDDEN HEATING
Heat proof pads should be used when placing boiling pots of water on the surface.
STRONG STAINS
The surface can resist most stains and corrosion, but strong chemical agents, bathroom detergents, derusting
agents, turpentine, and water pipes containing acid will produce blotches when they are placed on the surface
for a long time.
IMPACT
Avoid heavy items falling on the surface countertops to prevent ugly scratches or cracked countertop.
FLAMES
Avoid a ame contacting the surface directly.
WATER RESISTANCE
Although the surface is water resistant and its water absorption is very low, excessive stagnant water should be
avoided. Avoid placing a wet cloth or towel on the surface for a long time. Keep the surface as dry as possible
because water could contain contaminants which cause white spots to appear on the surface after a long
exposure. Under such circumstances, wipe the surface as soon as possible and blow-dry with a hair dryer.
