1 Care and Maintenance The colour vibrancy and unique finish of element is complemented by its easy to clean surface. With proper care, the surface will retain its appearance and performance characteristics for years to come. This document is a guide to the types of general and industrial cleaning agents to use and what can not be used. Everyday Cleaning The best way to clean the surface on a regular basis is by wiping the surface with a damp cloth or sponge and a diluted solution of mild liquid detergent in tepid water. After cleaning, wipe the surface with a clean cloth to remove residual detergent and moisture. Do not use excessive water and detergent on the surface during cleaning. Stubborn Stains and Marks When the everyday cleaning method does not work for stubborn marks, stains or grime build up, use a mild general purpose household cleaner. When using appropriate household spray and wipe type cleaners, spray the cleaning agent so that a wide spread of mist is dispersed onto the surface. Wipe the surface clean immediately. Ensure to refer to the cleaning products instructions prior to use, avoid using the cleaner or test in an inconspicuous area first, if the instructions caution against use of the product on paint, varnish, plastic or lacquered surfaces. Do not spray cleaning agents in concentrated amounts onto the surface or leave the cleaning agent on the surface for any period of time, as this could stain or damage the surface. What not to use Solvents Do not use harsh solvents such as paint thinners, petrol, MEK, toluene and other active or oxygenated organic solvents. Harsh Household Cleaners Do not use cleaning liquids, abrasive cleaners and abrasive materials that may scratch and damage the coating, such as: Cleaners: Jif, Vim, Ajax, Brasso, Neat Janola, Mr Muscle Oven Cleaner, Windex, Drain Cleaners, CLR (Calcium, Lime Rust Remover), Harpic Toilet Duck, Caustic based oven cleaners, Sugar Soap or Bleach in any concentration. Abrasives: Sand Paper, Wire Wool, Scouring Pads

2 Removal of Adhesives & Stubborn Marks (Fabricators) Do not use harsh solvents such as paint thinners, petrol, MEK, toluene and other active or oxygenated organic solvents as they may affect the Element finish. For the effective removal of adhesive or stubborn marks use: K&H Wax & Grease Remover - for purchasing refer to the 'Where to Buy Guide' Isopropyl Alcohol Apply the cleaner with a soft clean cloth. Ensure the contact time for the solvent is minimal and that the solvent is thoroughly wiped from the surface. Tip: Some Methylated spirits will effectively remove marks and adhesives, always check to ensure no damage to the film or colour change will occur by testing in an inconspicuous area or on an element off cut prior to using the solvent on the end product.
