Maintenance CleaningCleaning must always take place in accordance with the recommendations of the supplier of the cleaning system and under their supervision and guarantee.

In principle, perform the cleaning of over the entire surface. Normal stains can be removed with a sponge and water. The use of abrasive materials such as a scourer, steel wool, etc. are not recommended, as they leave irreparable scratches on the surface.

Pressure washingFor , a pressure cleaner with clean water at a maximum 125 bar and maximum flow rate of 10 litres/minute can also be used. One must spray perpendicular to the sur-face at a distance of at least 255mm. If spraying occurs at excessive pressure or a too short distance, this can cause damage to the panel surface.
