About the Acrylic Shell
Cast acrylic is a stain-resistant, non-porous material. With normal use, the acrylic will retain its inherently glossy
appearance with only a minimal amount of care.
When Cleaning
•
Remove dust and dry dirt with a soft, damp cloth.
•
Apply common household, non-abrasive cleaner in accordance with manufacturer’s directions and precautions.
(i.e., a mild dishwashing detergent such as Ivory Liquid). Do not use unless the product label specifically states that
it is safe for acrylic.
•
Rinse well and dry with a soft, clean cloth. Scouring pads will deteriorate the finish.
•
Never use any type of “scrubbing bubbles” or aerosol spray cleaners on your acrylic product.
•
Harsh chemicals, such as bleach and ammonia, will deteriorate the finish.
•
Never use abrasive cleansers. If any product feels gritty when rubbed between your fingers, do not use on
the acrylic surface or system controls as permanent damage will occur.
WARNING: Check cleaning and bathing product labels. Do not use unless the product label specifically states
that it is safe for acrylic. Some non-abrasive products damage the acrylic over time.
General Care
•
Do not allow your cast acrylic surface to come into contact with nail polish, nail polish remover, Wintergreen
oil, dry cleaning solution, lacquer thinners, gasoline, pine oil, etc.
•
Avoid using razor blades or other sharp objects that might scratch the surface.
•
Small scratches can be removed by applying a thin coat of automotive polishing liquid and buffing lightly
with a clean cloth. For deeper scratches, sand the surface lightly with a 400 grit “wet or dry” paper and buff
with a fine grit buffing compound.
•
MTI strongly recommends a professional surface repair person for deep scratches, chips or gouges.
•
Damage occurring to the unit during installation is the responsibility of the installer, and after installation,
the responsibility of the user.
