Thank you for choosing Wolf Designer Cabinetry for your home. You have chosen a product with exceptional style
and carefully crafted details. To ensure that you are satisfied with your new cabinetry for years to come, we have
prepared this guide to help you care for and maintain your investment. Cabinetry will age and begin to look worn if
not properly maintained. Please be sure to regularly clean and care for your cabinetry using the guidelines below.
CABINET SURFACES
Door face frames and any stained or painted portions of your cabinetry are manufactured with a quality finish meant
to protect and maintain the beauty of the wood. Interiors of your cabinets and exposed ends of standard construction
are a proper laminate material meant to help resist rub marks and contain minor spills. (Construction may vary
dependent on the options and features selected. See your designer for questions on the specific construction of each
individual piece of your kitchen.) To keep your cabinets looking their best, we encourage you to clean them monthly
at a minimum.
CABINET CARE
• Avoid using a dishcloth or sponge that may have remnants of detergents and grease.
• Never use scouring pads, steel wool or powdered cleaners.
• Dry wet surfaces immediately with a soft cloth.
• Wipe up spills, splatters and water spots as they occur – keep the cabinets dry.
• Use a clean, soft, cotton cloth when wiping down cabinets. Even when thoroughly rinsed, cleaning cloths
may still have remnants of bleach, detergents, grease, and other materials which can be harmful to the finish
of your cabinetry.
• Use warm water. If you nd that water is not strong enough, add a small amount of soap to the warm water.
Never use bleach, ammonia or any cleaning agents that contain abrasives.
• Avoid draping damp cloths or dishtowels over cabinet doors. Excessive moisture can cause permanent damage.
• Do not allow oven cleaners to come in contact with wood nishes.
• Avoid placing small kitchen appliances where heat is directed onto cabinet surfaces.
EXTERIOR FINISH
•
The finish on your cabinetry does not require waxing or the application of “wood oils” to maintain the wood. However,
if you desire a glossy or shiny appearance, you may apply furniture polish or lemon oil that is recommended for
furniture use.
• Before applying polish to your cabinets, be sure they are thoroughly cleaned and dry.
• Be sure not to use any cleaning compounds that may contain alkaline agents, which can negatively impact
furniture surfaces.
•
If not thoroughly wiped clean, polishes and oils can either create a hazy look or act as an attractant to dust and dirt.
• Painting in the same room as your cabinetry? We recommend Scotch Painters Tape style 600 or 610 when preparing
to paint around your Wolf Designer Cabinets.
REPAIRING SCRATCHES
Wolf provides cabinet touch-up kits that include a touch-up marker, ller pencil and fast-dry touch-up. It is important to
follow the instructions included with the kit. Never use sandpaper or any other type of abrasive paper or material on a
scratch. This will damage the cabinet finish.
