Installation Instructions

Maintenance
- The smooth surface of your laminate means it never retains dirt or dust.
- Never use wax or varnish coating on the floor.
- For dry maintenance, we recommend using a micro-fiber duster (flipper) or vacuum cleaner.
- For slightly damp maintenance, we recommend using Mohawk® Floor Care Essentials hardsurfaces cleaner. Always wipe dry
immediately until no more moisture is visible on the floor. The use of other cleaning products might damage your floor. For
bevel edge products, we strongly recommend dry cleaning only.
- Do not use of any type of cleaning machine such as spray mops, steam cleaners/ mops or power cleaners.
- Wet maintenance is absolutely forbidden. Remove any standing water immediately.
- To remove stubborn stains carefully, we recommend using acetone based fingernail polish remover. Never use scouring
products!
- In case your floor needs repair, Mohawk® has a tool called Unifix, which allows the damaged floor plank to be easily removed
in minutes without replacing the entire floor. For Unifix to work properly the required expansion gap must be in place around
the room's perimeter and extra flooring should be available for use in the repair.
Enjoy your floor.
ATTN: INSTALLERS --- Caution: Wood Dust
Sawing, sanding and machining wood products can produce wood dust. Airborne wood dust can cause respiratory, skin and
eye irritation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified wood dust as a nasal carcinogen in
humans.
Precautionary Measures: Power tools should be equipped with a dust collector. If high dust levels are encountered use an
appropriate NIOSH-designated dust mask. Avoid dust contact with skin and eyes.
First Aid Measures in case of irritations: In case of irritation flush eyes and skin with water for at least 15
minutes. For questions please contact Technical Services at: 1-888-387-9882, option 3.
IMPORTANT HEALTH NOTICE FOR MINNESOTA RESIDENTS ONLY: THESE BUILDING MATERIALS EMIT FORMALDEHYDE. EYE,
NOSE, AND THROAT IRRITATION, HEADACHE, NAUSEA AND A VARIETY OF ASTHMA-LIKE SYMPTOMS, INCLUDING
SHORTNESS OF BREATH, HAVE BEEN REPORTED AS A RESULT OF FORMALDEHYDE EXPOSURE. ELDERLY PERSONS AND
YOUNG CHILDREN, AS WELL AS ANYONE WITH A HISTORY OF ASTHMA, ALLERGIES, OR LUNG PROBLEMS, MAY BE AT
GREATER RISK. RESEARCH IS CONTINUING ON THE POSSIBLE LONGTERM EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO FORMALDEHYDE.
REDUCED VENTILATION MAY ALLOW FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER CONTAMINANTS TO ACCUMULATE IN THE INDOOR
AIR. HIGH INDOOR TEMPERATURES AND HUMIDITY RAISE FORMALDEHYDE LEVELS. WHEN A HOME IS TO BE LOCATED IN
AREAS SUBJECT TO EXTREME SUMMER TEMPERATURES, AN AIR-CONDITIONING SYSTEM CAN BE USED TO CONTROL
INDOOR TEMPERATURE LEVELS. OTHER MEANS OF CONTROLLED MECHANICAL VENTILATION CAN BE USED TO REDUCE
LEVELS OF FORMALDEHYDE AND OTHER INDOOR AIR CONTAMIANTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THE
HEALTH EFFECTS OF FORMALDEHYDE, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR CALL YOUR LOCAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
WARNING! DO NOT MECHANICALLY CHIP OR PULVERIZE EXISTING RESILIENT FLOORING, BACKING, LINING FELT,
ASPHALTIC ‘‘CUTBACK’’ ADHESIVES OR OTHER ADHESIVES.
These existing products may contain either asbestos fibers and/or crystalline silica. Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of such dust is a
cancer and respiratory tract hazard. Smoking by individuals exposed to asbestos fibers greatly increases the risk of serious bodily
harm. Unless positively certain that the product is a non-asbestos containing material, you must presume it contains asbestos.
Regulations may require that the material be tested to determine asbestos content and may govern the removal and disposal of
material. See current edition of the Resilient Floor Covering Institute (RFCI) publication ‘‘Recommended Work Practices for Removal
of Resilient Floor Coverings’’ for detailed information and instructions on removing all resilient covering structures.
