Care And Maintenance - BDI CORRIDOR BAR 5620 Instruction Manual

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Your BDI furniture has been constructed with the finest materials, carefully manufactured, and
designed to last a lifetime. Regular furniture care will prolong your enjoyment and keep it looking its
best. Here are some general tips for taking care of BDI furniture. Your surfaces may vary.
GLASS
Glass surfaces are maintained using household glass cleaner and a paper towel or cloth.
SATIN-ETCHED GLASS
This uniquely smooth-to-the-touch glass surface can be regularly maintained using household glass
cleaner and a paper towel or cloth.
A 'Magic Eraser' removes minor scratches or scuffs not eliminated using a paper towel or cloth. 'Magic
Eraser' is a melamine foam product available at any grocery store or home improvement center.
Dampen the entire glass surface and the Magic Eraser, then rub the whole surface in broad, even
strokes using moderate pressure. Clean and dry the surface with a paper towel. Check for results and
repeat as necessary. Any scratches or scuffing not eliminated by one of the above methods can often
be addressed by 'refreshing' the glass. This process should not be required more than once per
6–12 months. See this brief video for the simple method: www.bdiusa.com/glass
WOOD
Wood surfaces should be cleaned with a slightly damp (not saturated) cloth or paper towel. Do not
use glass cleaner on wood. If moisture remains, dry the surface with another cloth. If needed, a gentle,
non-abrasive cleanser may be used, but wipe away all cleaner residue and dry the surface with a cloth.
BDI's wood finishes feature natural hardwood solids and veneers. Wood is a product of nature and—
unlike man-made materials that can be manufactured to strict and consistent specifications—has
natural imperfections that are part of its appeal and character. Every piece of wood differs from every
other, even when coming from the very same tree. As such, grain, texture, and tone variation should
be expected from one panel or piece of furniture to the next.
While BDI's stained wood finishes are stable in tone & appearance, all finishes are subject to some
degree of discoloration with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Please avoid positioning your BDI
cabinet in any area with ample direct sunlight. To learn more about the features of natural wood, visit

METAL, PORCELAIN, & PAINTED SURFACES
Surfaces should be cleaned with a slightly damp (not saturated) cloth or paper towel. If moisture
remains, dry the surface with another cloth. If needed, a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser may be used,
but be sure to wipe away all cleaner residue and dry the surface with a cloth.
