Safety instructions /

• Please precisely observe the following instructions. They avoid bodily injury and material damage during installation. Before drilling, make sure that there are no conduits for gas, water, power, heating or drainage under the relevant sections of the wall/floor. The all-purpose rawl plugs and screws supplied with every Express kitchen are suitable for the following wall materials:

  • Solid material (solid brick MZ, solid sand-lime brick KS)
  • Perforated material (hollow brick Hlz, hollow sand-lime brick KSL)

• Special rawl plugs must be used for gypsum plaster board, aerated concrete and insulating boards; these are available from retail outlets. The wall materialsmust always be checked and determined before installing the unit! Beforedrilling, check that there are no water or gas pipes and no live cables in the area to be drilled.

• Please observe the assembly instructions and safety precautions of all the electrical appliances that you install.

• As a general rule, tall units must be affixed to walls to ensure stability! Some base units must also be affixed to the wall with a bracket due to construction or design. For that reason the technicians installing the kitchen must ensure that all the pieces delivered are secured against tipping forward during and after completing the assembly, as there could be a risk of bodily injury.Wall units must be affixed to the wall in such a way that even with a load (for example, while opening cupboards that have flap door fittings, there is no danger of them falling / breaking loose from the fastenings! Use dowels and screws appropriate for the wall type. (100812)

• Do not hang on wall units! They could fall off the wall. Risk of injury!

• Do not lean on solitary wall units. They could slide along the mounting rail. Disconnect from the power supply before changing lamps and cleaning electrical appliances. Danger to life!

• The Firing Installations Ordinance – FeuV (§4 Setting up heating appliances) stipulates that, when a heating appliance dependent on room air (e.g. gas heater, wood-fired stove) is operated simultaneously with an exhaust fan (e.g. extractor hood), carbon monoxide must not be drawn into the flat / house from the heating appliance. As soon as an extraction system is switched on, negative pressure results in a confined space. The pressure may only be compensated by the inflow of fresh air from outside and not from the heating appliance. Authorisation for use and guidelines for ensuring pressure equalisation should always be obtained from your local chimney sweep.

Installation instructions

Adjustment foot – fixing

Island solutions must be secured against tipping to the front. To do so, use the fixing fitting “ZFUSS-BEF”. Ensure that there are no floor heating elements underneath the flooring! If that’s the case, no drilling must take place! As an alternative, affix the island with silicon or construction glue. CHECK THE STABILITY AFTER INSTALLATION!

Base unit

It is the responsibility of the fitter to check the customer‘s premises and ascertain whether standalone units orunits forming part of a fitted kitchen need to be secured to prevent them from tipping forwards!

Anti-tipping device

Worktops

This worktop has been manufactured with all due care and attention and carefully packed. However, we strongly recommend, that you inspect the worktop before fitting, for any possible manufacturing faults ortransport damage. Claims for any damages exceeding the value of the goods (e.g. for the removal of the worktop) are not accepted. Please also note that worktops must be carefully sealed with silicone or a water-proof adhesive around cutouts and where they join in the wall. Please note the following for worktop joints:

• Check worktops for accurate alignment and adjust as necessary.
• At those places, where the adhesive has not come out of the joint, moisture can be absorbed. So please after 30 min. apply another limegrub onto the joint and work in the glue carefully!

If not observed any guarantee claims will be void! We do not accept any responsibility for water damages

Maintenance Instructions

Below are a few helpful hints on how to care for the kitchen and some operating instructions so that you may enjoy your new kitchen for a long time.

• Always use the extractor hood when cooking.
• Avoid water spilling over the unit tops Standing water on the worktop joint is particularly harmful.
• Only open the dishwasher door approx. 30 minutes after the programme has completed after the steam has completely condensed.
• Do not place any hot pots or pans directly on the worktop – use a trivet or hotpad.
• Always use a cutting board as a surface to cut food on, not the worktop.
• Do not use your coffee maker, water heater or toaster under wall units. The steam and high temperatures will damage the cupboards over time.
• In general, use only mild and water-soluble household cleaners. No abrasive cleansers or cleaning agents containing solvents should be used. Do not use a steam cleaner on the furniture!
• It‘s best to use a soft, lint-free cloth or sponge. Even microfibre cloths can cause damage to the surfaces.
• Always dry the furnishings thoroughly after damp-cleaning.
• Always remove any dirt or soiling as soon as possible. Fresh spots are usually much easier to clean and can normally be removed without leaving any trace.
• Avoid leaving the oven/dishwasher door angled open for airing, as the escaping heat and dampness can cause moisture expansion in the surrounding units.
• Please also observe the operating and maintenance instructions, along with the additional information that accompanies the furnishings, accessories and electrical appliances.

Room climate:
The materials used in the kitchen have all been designed for use in a controlled room climate and should ideally be used at a relative humidity of 45%-70% (18-22 degrees). Slight distortion or warping is a sign that the ideal room climate conditions (e.g. not enough or too much heating) have not been observed, and does not constitute a material flaw. This warping, which is typical of wood materials, is determined by the temperature and humidity of the present environment.

Synthetic Surfaces:
Synthetic finishes on surfaces/fronts can be cared for with common household cleaners. It‘s best to use a soft cloth, hand-warm water and a little washing- up liquid. Do not use any polishing cleaners or hard sponges! Stubborn marks, such as grease splashes, paint or adhesive residues can be removed with common, commercially available synthetic materials cleaners. However, it is recommended that these be tested on an inconspicuous area before using them for the first time!

Gloss Fronts: Never clean these fronts in the dry state!
The use of abrasive cleaning materials (microfibre cloths, scrubbing sponges, etc.) can lead to an increased incidence of surface scratching and are not accepted grounds for complaints. Therefore using a dustfree cloth or a damp chamois is best.

security Instructions for the End Customer

The kitchen is usually the centre of the household and therefore frequently the most used room. There can also be many things there that are hazardous to children. Therefore the following safety precautions should be followed:

• Make sure that your children do not use the kitchen as a playground because improper use of electrical appliances and furniture can be hazardous.
• Take care that children do not crawl into cupboards or pull-outs, as they can close automatically (risk of jamming).
• Children should not use cupboards or worktops as ladders or perches.
• Do not hang onto the wall units! If undue loads are placed on them, there is a risk of them falling down from the mounting!
• Never leave children unattended while you are cooking.
• Chemicals such as cleaning agents should always be kept out of children‘s reach!
• Avoiding such risks is the parents‘ responsibility!

Change in Ownership

Should your kitchen change owners, please give the new owner these assembly instructions. The assembly and safety instructions must be followed if the kitchen requires re-assembling!

We reserve the right to make any changes or modifications that foster progress and make your work easier.
