common detergent and entirely rinsed with clean water.
SHARP AND/OR CUTTING OBJECTS
To prevent the surface from irreparable cuts or scratches, avoid
dragging any sharp object on the surface.
Supercial scratches can be removed with a slightly abrasive
detergent and a soft sponge. Deep scratches or cuts cannot be
eliminated, unless sanding the whole surface of the top. In this
case, you should contact your dealer.
To retain it evenly, the surface must then be cleaned with a
common detergent and entirely rinsed with clean water.
SERIOUS DAMAGES
Please contact your dealer.
Compounds of mass-pigmented mineral polyester resins of high
technical performance, unalterable, hygienic, easy to maintain,
durable and with a slight satin texture.
Of high-performance, easy to maintain, fully recyclable. Upon using
them, they will get softer to the touch and brighter.
To retain it evenly, we invite you to review the following cleaning
guidelines:
• for surface cleaning and/or repairing operations, use only the
detergents and procedures as described below, making little
round movements all over the surface;
• some cleaning agents contain acids (such as methyl chloride
or acetone). Do not use this type of detergents to clean/treat
the surface. Should one of these products meet the material,
rinse the surface with plenty of soapy water to prevent
permanent stains;
• do not place hot pans or pots directly immediately with on the
surface. Place a potholder with rubber feet.
EVERYDAY CLEANING
These are completely homogeneous and non-porous materials,
easy to clean with a damp cloth or a sponge and a mild or slightly
abrasive cleanser. Fluids cannot penetrate the surface; it is however
better to avoid.
To retain it evenly, always clean the whole surface of their
stagnation.
TOUGH STAINS
Tougher stains may be caused for example by food coloring, tea
or fruit juice, vinegar, coffee, ketchup, red wine, vegetable oils,
cranberry, saffron. These stains can be easily removed:
• a soft sponge and a neutral detergent;
• a soft sponge or an ammonia-based solution to clean surfaces,
or in case of particularly tough stains, such as cranberry or
saffron, a soft sponge with bleach.
Persistent stains can be removed by spraying a solution composed
of 3/4 of bleach and 1/4 of water on the entire surface. Leave it in
contact for a few hours.

If the stain persists, please proceed as follows: use a soft sponge
moistened with a smoothing cleanser, such as CIF white cream, on
the part to be treated. Wash and dry several times.
When the stain will be removed, repeat the same operation on the
entire surface. Finally, wash and dry many times until the detergent
is completely removed.
To retain it evenly, the surface must then be cleaned with a neutral
detergent and entirely rinsed with clean water.
STAINS GENERATED BY CHEMICAL AGENTS
Surfaces get damaged by the uncontrolled or prolonged exposure
to chemical agents. Accidental stains caused by aggressive
chemical agents such as paint removers, products for professional
cleaning, for metals or ovens, products containing methyl chloride,
acid, thinners for nail enamels, acetone-based products etc. must
be promptly eliminated with plenty of water and soap.
Nail enamel can be removed with a specic acetone-free product
that should be rinsed off immediately after use with abundant water
or with a slightly abrasive detergent and a soft damp sponge. See
paragraph

common detergent and entirely rinsed with clean water.
BURNS
Small burn marks or nicotine traces can simply be removed using a
slightly abrasive detergent and a soft damp sponge. See paragraph
1
.
Deep burn marks and persistent nicotine stains can be eliminated
by rubbing the surface with ne-grained sandpaper, and then with
an abrasive sponge.
