Owner Manual

• The Limited Warranties to do not cover conditions caused by
improper use or maintenance, such as:
- Loss of gloss or build-up of dulling film due to lack of
maintenance or improper maintenance
- Damage resulting from failure to follow floor care
instructions as outlined in this warranty
- Scuffs, scratches, cuts
- Damage or discoloration from carpet dyes, fertilizers,
or other chemicals
- Staining from use of mats not labeled non-staining
- Damage caused by burns, flooding, fires and other
accidents
- Damaged caused by abuse (i.e. dragging heavy or sharp
objects across the floor without proper protection)
- Damage caused by caster wheels or vacuum cleaner
beater bars
- Failure to support furniture with floor protectors made
of non-staining felt or non-pigmented hard plastic.
Protectors must be the same diameter of the object and
rest flat on the floor.
• The Limited Warranties do not cover discoloration or
expansion from heat or sunlight. A combination of
heat and sunlight can cause most home furnishings
fading, discoloration, or thermal expansion. Prolonged
direct sunlight can result in discoloration and excessive
temperatures may cause floor to expansion (which may
cause buckling) or delamination. For further information
please see the Mannington Floor Care Instructions on this
warranty.
• For purposes of the Limited Warranty for Residential use,
“wear out” means complete loss of the Mannington wear layer
so that the printed pattern or design of the floor is altered.
• The Limited Warranties do not cover variations of color,
shade, or texture of the floor you purchase from those shown
on samples, photographs, or literature.
• Although Adura
®
Max is not susceptible to damage from
moisture, excessive subfloor damage is an ideal breeding
ground for mold, mildew and fungus. The Limited Warranties
do not cover discoloration from mold or from flooding,
leaking plumbing or appliances, water entering through
sliding glass doors or similar conditions.

MANNINGTON FLOOR CARE
INSTRUCTIONS
• Use doormats outside each entrance to your home to prevent
dirt, sand, grit or other substances such as oil, asphalt and
driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor. Use mats
labeled non-staining on your floor.
• To minimize staining from asphalt tracking, we suggest you
use latex-based driveway sealer on your driveway.
• Close your curtains or blinds were extreme sunlight hits
the floor. Like with all floor coverings, protect the finished
Adura
®
Max installation from exposure to direct sunlight.
A combination of heat and sunlight can cause most home
furnishings fading, discoloration, or thermal expansion.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
During peak sunlight hours, the use of blinds or drapes is
recommended. Prolonged direct sunlight can result in
discoloration and excessive temperatures may cause floor
expansion (which may cause buckling) or delamination.
• Support furniture with wide-bearing, non-staining floor
protectors. The protectors should be at least one inch in
diameter, made of non-pigmented hard plastic, and rest flat
on the floor. Non-staining felt protectors are also acceptable.
Casters with a minimum ¾” flat surface width or floor
protectors are recommended for all movable furniture. Make
sure any metal protectors are rust-proof. Replace your narrow
dome furniture rests with wide-bearing ones.
• If you need to move heavy furniture and/or appliances across
the floor, always use strips of wood or hardboard runways
to protect the floor. Always use runways even if you have an
appliance dolly or even if heavy objects are equipped with
wheels or rollers.
• Sweep your floor regularly (at least once per week).
• Prevent stains by wiping up spills immediately.
• Occasional cleaning with Mannington UltraClean™ (lightly
misted) and a microfiber mop (or cloth) or mopping with
Mannington Award Series
®
Rinse-Free Cleaner is recommended
when dirt builds up and sweeping alone is not sufficient.
Use a solution of 2 to 3 capfuls of Award Series
®
Cleaner (or
clear, non-sudsy ammonia) in one gallon of warm water. Use
of more than the recommended amount of cleaning solution
may leave a dulling film. Do not use soap or detergent
products as they will leave a dulling film. Rinsing is not
required when using Mannington Award Series
®
Rinse-Free
Cleaner, but if time permits, rinsing will provide the best care.
• Adura
®
Max is a low-gloss floor; use polish or “mop and
shine” products only if you wish to make the floor shiny.
• After several applications of polish for a high-shine floor, an
occasional stripping and reapplication of polish may be
necessary. We recommend the use of Mannington Award
Series
®
Heavy Duty Cleaner and Stripper. After thorough
cleaning, rinsing and drying, we recommend applying
Mannington Award Series
®
High-Gloss Polish to restore the
shine. Do not use wax. Do not buff. High traffic areas may
require more than one application of polish. Allow polish to
dry “tack-free” between coats.
For complete instructions regarding the proper use of
Mannington floor care products, refer to the package labels.
Caution: Adura Floors can be slippery when they become wet. Use extreme caution
when walking on a wet floor.
The overall stain resistance of our Mannington Adura
®
Max is
excellent and most spills will wipe off quickly and easily with
a clean, white cloth. Removing certain substances may take a
little extra effort, as outlined in the chart below.
• Start with first step listed.
• Only do steps necessary to resolve the problem.
• Always use a clean, white cloth for wiping up stains and turn
it frequently to avoid spreading the stain.
• Rinse with clean water and allow area to dry between steps.
• If stain removal causes a change in gloss level, apply polish
per recommended guidelines.
