Pre-Installation PLANNING INSTALLATION Ensure the countertop is installed and nished (using oil, oil-wax, varnish) before use. Follow the instructions contained in this manual to keep the warranty valid. NOTE: Within 24 to 48 hours after unpacking, the countertop must be nished on both sides and all edges. It is very important to properly coat the countertop with a high quality oil.
Installation Planning for Expansion Gaps The countertop expands and contracts depending on the humidity and temperature of the room. Provide expansion gaps between the edges of the countertop and wall, which allows for this wood movement. To protect your walls and hide the expansion gap, the use of a back splash is recommended.

Installation (continued) Joining Countertops (continued) Joint Dishwasher The required distance between banding countertops and the sink, hotplate, dishwasher, and so forth, cannot be less than 4 in. (100 mm), nor can the countertops be joined min. min. 4 in. 4 in. (100 mm) within their range or at an angle.
Maintenance PROTECTING THE SURFACE Solid Wood Panel - Finishing your countertop with oil or oil-wax One of the preferred nish procedures is to use oil or wax oil. Strictly follow the manufacturer’s instructions as to the use of any oil or oil-wax. Once installed, the working surface must be protected with a layer of oil (multiple applications may be needed) that provides a barrier and prevents the ingress of water and dirt into the wood.
Care and Cleaning (continued) REMOVING A DENT FROM YOUR TOP WARNING: Irons and steam are extremely hot and can burn you. Please use caution. Finished tops will require you to sand the area till the nish is gone. Use the nest sandpaper to take off the nish (220 grit for oil, to 150 grit for polyurethane nish). NOTE: Always sand in the direction of the wood grain.
