PROTECTING THE CABINET FINISH The finish on the SB-40P is a polymer coating that should be carefully maintained. Do not place any hard object directly on the cabinet without first putting down a soft cloth or other nonabrasive pad. Do not place any liquid containers including drinks, flower vases or plants directly on the cabinet to avoid water marks.
