ATTENTION
Make sure that assembling is done by a qualified person and, in any case, do not make any changes to the furniture that could compromise the stability of its structure.

|
| USE AND MAINTENANCE |
|
ECOLOGY
In compliance to its use, do not waste any piece of furniture in the environment, but call the company dedicated to litter handling for possible shipment to rubbish damping or recycle. |
|
REFRIDGERATORS
 To work properly, fridge columns need continuous aeration which is guaranteed by a special plastic back with holes that allows air to get in through the lower part of the furniture door and get out from the upper part. Do not put anything above or below the fridge column. It is not advisable to place the fridge close to a source of heat, such as oven, cooking tops or heater. |
|
HINGES
 It is possible to adjust the hinges in case, after use, shutters are no longer aligned. It is possible to adjust shutter height, width and depth. Acting on the screw which regulates depth, it is also possible to remove the shutter completely. |
|
EXTRACTOR HOOD
 The use of the extractor hood is very important, as it takes all smokes and releases outside. But it has to be connected to a dedicated tube, through a specific tube. Do not connect the extractor hood to a tube which is already used for other exhaust, such as boilers or fireplaces. |
|
CUPBOARD HANGER SHELVES
 Cupboards are hung on a hanger bar through special attachments that allow the cupboard to be fixed both in height and depth with special screws. |
|
TOP SURFACE
 Check that along the perimeter of the holes for the embedded appliances or sinks the specific equipment protection has been carefully applied. |
|
FEET AND BASE
 To allow the work below the furniture, the base of the kitchen is connected to the feet through plastic hooks that can be quickly released, so that it can be pulled or pushed to the base on the feet; such hooks can be positioned corresponding to the feet. |
|
| USEFUL INFORMATION |
|
LAMINATED TOP
High pressure laminate (HPL) that covers the top is a highly resistant material that according to European rules EN 438, guarantees high quality standards in reference to scratch, heat, stains, shock and abrasion. |
|
MARBLE GRANITE TOP
Being “porouso”, they are very delicate and therefore easily stained by liquids that can be spilt on the surface; moreover, marble is easily attachable by soft acids which are in the liquids used in the kitchen, such as vinegar and lemon juice. It is advisable to protect the surface with a layer of floor wax. |
|
STAINLESS STEEL TOP
The surface is made up of a 18/10 stainless steel sheet and it is completely stain resistant, but anyway it is not advisable to use pointed objects or abrasive products, that can damage the surface. |
|
TILED TOP
Composede of ceramic tiles on a water resistant panel and protected with water resistant material. The ceramic surface is stain proof but the glaze can be damaged with sparp objects. |
|
GLAZED SINK
Composede of glazed steel; wich is easily damaged by shock and is very fragile. |
|
RESIN SINK
Composed of resins and moluded polymerized minerals. It is stain proof but with time it can lose elasticity and break consequently to thermo shocks (cold-hot water). It is not easily recyclable. |
|
WOOD
Wood is a natural material, with natural features. Therefore the difference of nuance or tonality among the various parts cannot be reason for complaint. With exposure to direct sun light can also produce changes in the color. Ageing can also change the color of the furniture and that cannot be considered a defect. |
|
| CLEANING SUGGESTIONS |
|
WOODEN OR LAQUERED PARTS
Clean softly with a damp cloth and dry carefully; avoid the use of cleaning products and sprays that could damage the paint gloss. |
|
LAMINATE PARTS
Clean with a damp cloth or non-abrasive surface cleaners that do not contain any alcohol or solvents. |
|
LACQUARED SURFACE
Clean with a soft cloth and cleansing liquid, rinse and dry carefully; do not use products containg abrasive or alcoholic solvent products. |
|
TOP SURFACES
Marble or granite (“porous”, therefore very delicate) should be cleared, each time immediately. To remove coffee, tea or fruit stains, rub with a fluid mixture of baking soda and water. Then clean with a wet sponge. To polish, floor wax diluted in water can be used.
For high pression laminate (HPL), use a sponge or a damp cloth. Greasy stains can be removed with a common surface cleaner. |
|
DISHWASHER
Use the proper salt to fight against lime scale. Check that the container is always full. Add salt every ten usages, or when the specific light gives the signal. Remember to clean habitually and with care both the filter and the spinning parts. Dirt and materials do not allow proper drain. |
|
SINKS
The use of abrasive steel wool is not advisable, as the surfaces could be damaged. For stainless steel sinks, use a sponge with lukewarm vinegar. For glazed, synthetic or ceramic sinks normal dish washing cleansing product can be used. |
|
| ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES |
|
GENERAL SUGGESTIONS
The position of the electrical appliance inside one’s home should considered rationally in order to obtain the best use conditions.
Check the condition of the electrical system and especially, the efficiency of the electrical grounding.
Do not start electrical appliances maintenance without unplugging or turning off the switch.
Avoid turning on electrical appliances or touching them when being barefoot and the floor is wet.
It is recommended to not use adaptors or multiple sockets, as the plug of the appliance should be the only one in the socket to avoid overheating or short circuit. |
|
STORE TOP
Electrical Hotplates: use a damp cloth and a little oil when they are still a bit warm.
Glazed parts and grills: do not use abrasive powders but water and dish washing products. |
|
OVEN
Clean the oven whit still warm, using lukewarm water and cleaning products. Dry with care. It is recommended to clean the oven frequently. Some models have self cleaning panel that help the cleaning procedure. |
|
REFRIDGERATOR
Use lukewarm water and baking soda. To remove persistent odors, leave a cup of lukewarm milk in the refridgerator for a few hours. Remove dust on the coil on the back of the fridge. It is recommended to clean the draining hole defrost water, in order to avoid. Some leaks may occur that could damage the structure of the bottom of the furniture. |
|
WASHING MACHINE
Frequently clean the filter from coins, button or floss that can block the water draining. Keep the drawer clean avoiding so that it does not become encrusted. Use specific anti lime scale products along with the detergent: they avoid lime scale formation and reduce possible maintenance calls. |
|
EXTRACTOR HOOD
The anti grease metal filter should be washed in the dishwasher every two months. |
