6-1. Maintenance and care
Cleaning the areas with satin-finish metal accents
■
The metal areas use a layer of real metal for the surface. It is necessary to clean them reg-
ularly. If dirty areas are left uncleaned for long periods of time, they may be difficult to
clean.
Caring for leather areas

apply the foam. Rub in overlapping circles. Do not use water. The excellent results are
