Guarantee:
The guarantee comprises defects that can be traced back to faults in the material or in production.
Defects that can be traced back to improper handling and defects caused during transport or by
other interference are excluded from the guarantee. If there is a material fault or a manufacturing
fault, Duscholux will either repair the product or, if this is not possible, send a replacement.
Check the product:
Before installing the Duscholux PanElle, check for possible damage caused during transport. The
guarantee does not cover claims that arise after the Duscholux PanElle is installed successfully.
Caution:
Micro-particles and bubbles may be embedded due to the special manufacturing process for the
highly scratch-resistant acrylic plates with colour and a protective layer. Here, a decision is made
based on the overall impression from a viewing distance of 2 metres under normal lighting
conditions. Inclusions of up to 0.8 mm 2 are permitted and do not give grounds for claims.
Handling - Assembly:
Only work on the PanElle at room temperature. Always start sawing carefully from the visible side
with the saw running. Always use carbide saw blades, preferably with trapezoidal flatteeth or an
alternating tooth chamfer; tooth interval <13 mm. Always work with a stop or guide rails when
using a hand-held circular saw.
Tip: When sawing cavities or openings, always pre-drill the corners of the cut edge to reduce the
risk of the plate breaking.
Always consider the following when drilling:The tool should always pierce from the front. When
beginning to drill, start a new rock drill (no wood drill nor metal drill) slowly and carefully. Just
before breaking through the bottom edge, slow down the drilling pressure. You should aim to
ensure that the drill pierces through smoothly.
Cleaning and care:
Water and household liquid cleaning agents, such as household detergent or window cleaner,
which have no abrasive effect are suitable for cleaning. The best cleaning results are achieved with
a soft, lint-free cloth (cleaning or microfibre cloth). Abrasive sponges, such as ScotchBrite or
stainless steel scouring pads, are particularly unsuitable. The surface can also be wiped off with a
glass wiper, whereby it should be noted that the surface should not be wiped off dry. The adhesion
of silicone joints is to be checked occasionally. The standard life of a silicone joint is approx. 5
years. Ideally, new silicone will be applied after this time.
A benzene-free solvent (cleaning solvent) can also be used for heavy contamination, in particular,
greasy contamination. Calcifications are best removed with light scale solvents. Avoid mechanical
cleaning procedures, such as using razor blades, knives or scrapers. Otherwise, scratches will
arise and the abrasion-resistant coating will be damaged.
Furthermore, PanElle has a sealed surface. Dirt particles therefore do not find a breeding ground
for mould formation. The surface withstands a temperature of -40° to +110°.
