Cleaning Instructions for Decorative fronts
Use a microfiber cloth and Windex® Original Glass Cleaner or 03M003 Stove
Bright® Glass Cleaner to clean the decorative front immediately after
installation to remove acids deposited by the installer or technician.
Spray the cleaner onto the microfiber cloth and carefully wipe the entire
surface. The decorative front should be cleaned in this manner annually by the
homeowner to remove fingerprints or other contaminants. Once oxidation of the
paint pigment has occurred, cleaning will not restore the original color.
