Cleaning of Fronts

Essentially, the cleaning of all wooden, lacquered, foil or plastic fronts should be performed with the regular water-soluble cleaning materials normally used around the house. Please do not use any aggressive or abrasive materials. ALNO recommends the use of the cleaning material, manufactured by Henkel.

TIP:
If in doubt as to the reaction of the chosen cleaning material on the surface of the front, we recommend first testing the effect of the cleaning material on the colour and durability of an inconspicuous section.

Cleaning Foil and Plastic Fronts

Foil and plastic fronts can be cared for, with the regular water-soluble cleaning materials normally used around the house. Please do not use any scouring cream.

Depending on how dirty the item has become, you should apply the cleaning material to the front, diluted with a little water. Afterwards, rinse away with pure water any cleaning material that may remain, and wipe the door dry.

Please do not use any cellulose thinners or synthetic resin thinners when cleaning these fronts, as nitro-based materials are not suitable for the cleaning of foil and plastic fronts.

Cleaning of Lacquered Fronts

Use a moist leather cloth for cleaning lacquered fronts. In the case of stubborn dirt, this may then be removed with a regular household cleaning material.

Important:
Please do not use any cellulose thinners or synthetic resin thinners when cleaning these fronts, as nitro-based materials are not suitable for the cleaning of lacquered fronts.

Cleaning of Wooden Fronts

When cleaning wooden fronts, please take care that you always wipe in the direction of the grain of the wood (using a lightly-moistened brush if at all possible), thus enabling the dirt to be wiped away out of the pores of the wood. Following this, the front should be dried off carefully with a soft cloth. In the case of stubborn dirt, it is possible to use a little white spirit or glass cleaner.
Furniture polish or wax, or cellulose thinners or synthetic resin thinners (or any form of nitro-based cleaning material) are not suitable for the care of wooden fronts. Polish might contain unsuitable solvents or colouring additives.
For this reason, please take care to observe the instructions of the manufacturer. Steam cleaners are absolutely unsuitable for the cleaning of kitchen fronts and their surrounding attachments/accessories.

Cleaning of Soft-Matt Surfaces

Marks made by highly-coloured substances and liquids should be washed away as soon as possible using water, and adding a regular household cleaning material if necessary. Please do not allow such marks to dry, and please be sure not to use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning materials. Any remainders of such marks, or any difficult cases such as remnants of fat or similar, may be brushed away using a warm, 30% solution of soap in water, applied with a nail-brush. Should it prove necessary, this process should be repeated several times. In the case of particularly stubborn markings, it is also possible to use a little white spirit or glass cleaner.
Following this, the remainders of soap should be wiped away with lukewarm water and the surface should be wiped dry with a chamois cloth.

When using regular household cleaning materials, it is essential to take care not to apply any coloured cleaning materials in a concentrated or undiluted form, because coloured cleaning materials are also capable of leaving residues behind. Liquids that have permeated these surfaces, or dried onto them, can only be removed to a limited extent.

Please bear in mind that this lacquered surface is not proof against thinners, nail polish removers or undiluted chemical spirits

Cleaning of Plastic Parts

Shallow drawers, cutlery compartments, inset basins or compartments, rotary surfaces, bread compartments, mounted box containers, plastic side-sections, refrigerators and freezers can be cleaned using a mild cleaning material and a soft cloth. Please do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning materials.

Cleaning of Stainless Steel

Regular dirt can simply be removed using water and conventional washing-up liquid. Following this, rinse away with warm water and wipe dry. For stubborn dirt and water-spotting, we recommend the use of a specialised stainless steel cleaner. This will provide additional protection by means of a water-repellent coating. Please do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning materials.

Maintenance of Plastic Sinks

These fitted sinks are made from a very high-grade, hard-wearing form of plastic. They are not affected by heat (up to 180 degrees Celsius), and they stand up well to the regular stresses placed on them by simple everyday use. In caring for the surface, regular household washing-up and cleaning Materials may be used, with the exception of any abrasive cleaning Materials. Stubborn dirt may be removed using dishwasher powder. Limescale deposits left by hard water may be removed either with vinegar or with limescale removers. Although the Materials of this sink is resistant to all regular household chemicals, we recommend that such chemicals be rinsed away directly after use.

Cleaning of Corner Base Units and Corner Wall Units

Cleaning of Rotary Shelves and Arena Shelves, and of the Cupboard:
It is not necessary to remove rotary shelves and arena shelves for cleaning.

Cleaning of Shelf of Base Unit: Raise the rotary shelf and remove the bracket bolt. Raise the rotary shelf further, and press the bolt into the upper drilled hole to secure it. After cleaning, lower the rotary shelf back into the original position.

Cleaning of Worktops made of Plastic

These worktops are covered with a special coating. This gives them a tough, resilient surface, which is hardwearing and easy to clean with regular household cleaning materials. Here, too, please do not use any aggressive or abrasive cleaning materials.

Cleaning and Care of Worktops made of Solid Beechwood

These worktops are treated with a special oil that is suitable for contact with food.

Before using the worktop for the first time, clean the worktop and rub down with oil (regular cooking oil).

The oil must be given sufficient time to penetrate the beechwood and dry (minimum 24 hours).
The wood must be given repeat oilings on a regular basis, especially after the worktop has been thoroughly cleaned by brushing off with cleaning materials.
Please make sure that the worktop is dry before applying oil.

Warm oil will penetrate deeper into the beechwood.

Cleaning of Ceran Cooktops

Please ensure there is no danger of any sugar, or any substances containing sugar, getting burnt in the cooking area. Remove any such substances as quickly as possible, should the need arise, with a damp cloth.
So long as they are not burned on, dirt and dirt marks may be removed with a damp cloth without using cleaning materials. Any abraded particles of metallic appearance left behind by metal pans, or other stubborn forms of dirt such as limescale or water spotting, may be removed using a specialised stainless steel cleaner or special cleaners designed for such cooktops, such as Sidol Ceran & Stahl (- "Sidol Ceran & Steel) manufactured by Henkel.

The best way of dealing with any burned-on food remnants is to remove them while still hot, using the special razor-blade scraper.

Information about the Materials

1. The Characteristics of Wooden Fronts
Because wood is a living material, it should not be exposed to extremely damp or dry air. If the air is too dry, for example, this should be countered by humidifiers on your radiators. Wood is a natural material, and is therefore prone to minor variations in coloration and structure. Equally, variations in the degree of light and sunshine to which an article is exposed can, over the years, lead to changes in the materials coloration. Please note that natural variations in the coloration or grain of genuine wood are not covered by our guarantees. Fronts made of genuine wood are natural products and are liable to undergo changes in coloration determined by the type of wood used.

2. Worktops made of Plastic
These worktops are heat-resistant in accordance with EN 438. Damage can occur when hot pots or pans are placed on such surfaces. You should therefore always be sure to place such pots or pans on an appropriate stand. Please do not cut food on directly on the worktop - use a chopping board instead. Although these worktops as highly scratch-resistant, some scratching will be unavoidable
Tip
In order to prevent steam coming into contact with the underside of the worktop when dishwashers are being used, and causing damage and swelling, we recommend that the door of the dishwasher be kept closed for approximately 30 minutes following the end of a washing cycle. No liability can be accepted for any damage arising in this manner.

3. Worktops made of Solid Beechwood
These worktops are treated with a special oil that is suitable for contact with food. Before using the worktop for the first time, clean the worktop and rub down with oil (regular cooking oil). The oil must be given sufficient time to penetrate the beechwood and dry (minimum 24 hours). The wood must be given repeat oilings on a regular basis, expecially after the worktop has been thoroughly cleaned by brushing off with cleaning materials. Please make sure that the worktop is dry before applying oil. Warm oil will penetrate deeper into the beechwood. However, even the protective treatment of the surface with oil cannot protect the worktop fully against the build-up of flecks and stains (for example, when preparing dishes that involve highly-coloured vegetables). For this reason, we recommend that a chopping board be used when working with such foodstuffs. Please do not allow any water to remain on such worktops as this could cause warping of the surface. Exposure to water will cause the surface to become rough. Should this occur, the surface should be sanded down to render it smooth again. Should your worktop become stained after a while, it is possible to sand it down entirely, following which it should be treated again with oil.

4. Maintenance of Moving Parts
Hinges, especially those on doors are used frequently, should be oiled once or twice per year. This applies also to other functioning fittings with steel hinges. No maintenance is required on moving parts made of plastic.
