2018_06_SS_LEWF_LOW_INST_WAR
Care and Cleaning
Dry wipe as primary cleaning method. NO damp or wet washing. If needed, lightly spray hardwood floor cleaner on a
terry cloth or microfiber before wiping. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners, detergents, soaps, waxes or polishes. DO NOT
allow moisture to remain on the product surface. Wipe off spills immediately.
DO NOT attach objects such as pictures, shelves or television mounts directly to the locking engineered hardwood wall.
DO NOT apply adhesive backed hooks or install screws or nails into the locking engineered hardwood wall for hanging
objects. Instead, drill clearance holes through the locking engineered hardwood and mount these objects directly to wall
studs with screws or nails. Drill the clearance holes through the locking engineered hardwood at least 1/2" larger than
the diameter of the fastener that will be used.
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.
ATTN: Installers — Caution: Wood Dust
Sawing, sanding and machining wood products can produce wood dust. Airborne wood dust causes respiratory,
skin and eye irritation. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified wood dust as a nasal
carcinogen in humans.
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 LONG-TERM 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 CONTAMINANTS. IF YOU HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS REGARDING THE HEALTH EFFECTS OF FORMALDEHYDE, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR OR CALL LOCAL
HEALTH DEPARTMENT.
