DURAVIT Ketho KT667001818 Instructions De Montage page 10

Duravit bathroom furniture is made of ma-
terials that are suitable for bathrooms. The
following points must be strictly observed to
ensure that you are able to enjoy using Duravit
products for a long time: It is important to en-
sure good ventilation in the bathroom. Furni-
ture should not be exposed to standing water
or sustained moisture. However, if you notice
splashes of water, dry the furniture to reduce
the risk of damage. Avoid contact with pointed,
sharp or abrasive objects. Chemicals, such as
nail polish remover, perfume, hair dye / tint,
solvent-based liquids, acetone etc. should be
removed from furniture surfaces immediately.
Never use abrasive care products, solvents or
aggressive cleaning agents for cleaning. Ink,
fruit and felt-tip pen stains, tea, coffee, juice
and red wine must be removed immediately,
otherwise it will permanently affect the sur-
face.
Remove soiling immediately. Recent soiling is
much easier to remove from the surface than
when it is dried in. All surfaces have limited
UV resistance. Changes in colour may occur
if the products are exposed to continuous UV
radiation.
The following sections are split into individual
materials as regards their care and mainte-
nance.
IMPORTANT NOTE
You should carefully read the recommenda-
tions for use provided by your cleaning agent
manufacturers. If in doubt, you can test the
cleaning agent and care product in an incon-
spicuous area.
CARE AND CLEANING OF REAL WOOD
VENEER OR SOLID WOOD
Real wood veneer is a living material. Its struc-
ture, grain, porosity and colour vary naturally
which proves the authenticity of the natural
wood material. The colour and lustre of wood
10
may change if it is exposed to sunlight over
time; this variation is therefore not a justified
complaint. Use a slightly damp, soft lint-free
cloth or chamois to regularly remove dust.
Remove heavier soiling with hot water and
detergent if necessary. Wipe off water depos-
its immediately with a soft cloth. Please use
an all-purpose cleaner with the following in-
gredients to remove soiling from large-pored
real wood veneers (walnut, oak): anionic and
nonionic surfactants, soap, phosphonates,
phenoxyethanol. Rub the cleaning agent in a
circular motion and then lengthways into the
pores with a cloth. Then wipe with a soft cloth
moistened in warm water. Rub polish into the
surface first with heavier soiling of the pores
and then clean with an all-purpose cleaner as
described above. Apply only a small amount of
furniture polish to the dry surface; never apply
to a damp surface as the polish may whiten.
CARE AND CLEANING OF HIGH-GLOSS
LACQUERED SURFACES
Clean the bathroom furniture with a soft cloth
moistened in warm water and a little deter-
gent. Use non-abrasive car polish very spar-
ingly for heavier soiling that cannot be re-
moved with a cloth. Use only in exceptional
cases as the lacquer coating becomes thinner
with frequent use. Do not use furniture polish-
es (oils, waxes). These leave a greasy film on
the surface and reduce the lustre. Dry cloths,
paper serviettes or microfibre cloths should be
avoided on matt or high-gloss surfaces as the
surface may be scratched.
