KLËARVŪE CABINETRY

is hand-crafted from the finest
materials. Our fine furniture grade finishes are very durable
and moisture resistant, but they are not moisture-proof.
Care must be taken to ensure durability for a lifetime. Use
the following guidelines to assist you in maintaining the
beauty of your KLËARVŪE CABINETRY
®
.
When the installation is complete, vacuum and wipe down
all interiors and exteriors with a soft dampened cloth
to remove all dust. Pay special attention to the drawer
glides, dust and wood particles should be removed to
ensure your glides slide smoothly.
The high-quality furniture finish of your cabinetry is
designed to withstand daily use. All surfaces may be
cleaned with a soft dampened cloth and warm water. For
a difficult situation, use a soft dampened cloth with mild
dish soap (not detergent). After cleaning, dry immediately
with another soft dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or
ammonia base products as they may cause discoloration
of the finish.
It is important to wipe up spills from your cabinetry as
they occur. Give special attention to product around the
sink and dishwasher. Avoid draping damp or wet dish
towels over the door of the sink base cabinet. Prolonged
exposure to spills, including: food, oil, grease, water,
coffee, tea, food colorings, and/or other liquids may
cause permanent discoloration or damage to the finish.
KLËARVŪE’s Lifetime Limited Warranty does not apply
in cases where product has been exposed to the above
elements thus resulting in damage to the product.
CLEANING PRODUCTS TO AVOID
The following cleaning products are to be avoided as
damage may occur:
- Harsh detergents, strong soaps, abrasive cleaning
products such as tub and sink cleaners, scouring
powder, scouring pads, steel wool or self-polishing
waxes.
- Sponges or dish cloths. They may contain particles that
could scratch your cabinets, or they may contain food
and oil residue or remnants of harsh cleaning solutions.
- Solvent-based or petroleum-based products such as
mineral spirits, nail-polish removers or paint thinners.
- Ammonia or cleaning products that include ammonia.
- Bleach or cleaning products that include bleach.
- Silicone-based cleaning, waxing, or polishing products.
CLEANING GLASS DOORS
Extra care is required when cleaning glass doors. Spray
an ammonia-free glass cleaner on a clean, soft, lint-free
cloth or paper towel. Do not spray cleaner directly on
the glass. It could seep behind the window dividers and
cause damage.
AVOID HEAT DAMAGE
The heat generated when using an oven’s self-cleaning
feature is much greater than during normal cooking. If
this heat escapes from the oven, it can damage your
cabinets. While this is a rare circumstance, you can
minimize the risk of cabinet damage by removing cabinet
doors and drawers nearest the oven before using its self-
cleaning feature.
AVOID LIGHT DAMAGE
Exposure to direct sunlight tends to darken the color of
natural wood products. Sunlight can also fade painted
MDF surfaces, laminated surfaces and thermofoil
surfaces. You should consider draperies or blinds to
shield your cabinets from direct sunlight.
