WOOD DOORS
* Recommended cleaner is a mild soap and water using a non-abrasive cloth

* More difficult stains can be removed by using neutral type cleaners or weak alkaloid type cleaners
* Do not use furniture polish or wax as the wax build up will mar the finish

 

GLASS OR INSERTS

glass or insert panels

a lint free cloth		  


THERMOFOIL OR LAMINATE DOORS

AyA's warranty will be voided if the cabinet care guidelines are not followed properly.

 

SELF CLEANING OVENS
* Self cleaning ovens generate immense heat, resulting in potential damage to any cabinetry
* AyA recommends removing all adjacent doors or drawers prior to using the self clean function, the drawers can be easily removed by either lifting up and out, or using the release mechanism at the bottom of the drawer box, the doors can released by pushing forward on the small knob at the back of the hinge.

 

HEAT-PRODUCING APPLIANCES
* Avoid mounting small appliances (i.e coffee makers & toaster ovens) beneath cabinets, as excess heat & moisture can damage cabinets.
* Stovetop heights should be adjusted to sit 1/2" above the countertop as to avoid damage from heat radiating from the element.
