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.
