48 MAINTENANCE 49 Ventilation Constant moisture can affect the external features of the furniture. Leaving the doors and/or windows open after each shower or bath minimizes moisture and therefore, its effects on the furniture. Wiping with a dry cloth ensures a longer life for the furniture. Sealing I t is recommended that the area between the furniture and the sink should be sealed using a neutral transparent silicone (without chemical additives). This seals the product, preventing water from stagnating and guaranteeing that the water slides on the hydrophobic surface of the furniture. To ensure the perfect state of the furniture during and after the installation, it is recommended to always support the furniture in padded areas (such as the box itself) and to check water and electric connections before the installation. Heating Please refrain from installing the furniture too close to heat sources such as radiators and heat emitters. The high temperatures (or even the effect of a prolonged exposure of the furniture to sunlight) combined with moisture can have undesirable effects on the surface of the furniture. Real wood characteristics I f the wood finish is made from real wood, it is susceptible to variations in color, texture and patterns. These variations cannot be considered as quality defects but as characteristics of natural materials. Soft close drawers All Roca furniture products incorporate soft closing doors and drawers. It is recommended to avoid sudden movements when opening or closing the furniture to ensure the correct function of the soft closing system. Regulation of drawers and doors To ensure an impeccable aesthetic look as well as the correct functioning of drawers and doors, they are equipped with regulation systems. Drawers and doors must be readjusted after the furniture assembly process. Handle these systems with care and always follow the instructions in the installation manual included with your product. In case of doubt, consult an installer. Cleaning and maintenance Roca furniture is easy to clean thanks to the materials used in its manufacture. Using a damp cloth is enough to clean any unwanted residue for both furniture and the basin. In case of stubborn stains, a low amount of neutral soap liquid can be used to rub gently. We do not recommend using abrasives, chemical products or products containing acids (especially on lacquered surfaces) or spraying the furniture with excess water as this may have an adverse effect on your bathroom furniture. Metal parts To guarantee the brightness and durability of the furniture’s metal parts, we recommend cleaning with a damp cloth and liquid soap. We do not recommend using abrasive pads for cleaning.
