CLEANING AND DISINFECTION
Cleaning the fume cupboard is crucial to maintain
hygiene and preserve its quality and appearance. The
following guidelines consider the various agents that
can be used for the fume cupboard:
COMMON CLEANING AGENTS
When cleaning the fume cupboard, using common cleaning agents that are non-corrosive and safe for surfaces
is recommended. Avoid using harsh or corrosive chemicals as they can damage the materials.
CLEANING INTERVAL
Regular cleaning of the fume cupboard is recommended
to maintain hygiene and prevent the accumulation of
dirt and bacteria. A suitable interval for cleaning can be
daily or as needed, depending on the frequency of use
and environmental conditions.
CLEANING POWDER-COATED SURFACES
To clean powder-coated surfaces, mild soap solution
and a soft cloth or sponge are recommended. Avoid
using abrasives or rough cloths as they can scratch the
surface. After cleaning, the surface should be thoroughly
dried with a clean, dry cloth.
CLEANING THE WORKTOP
• Laminate countertops should be wiped regularly with
warm water and a universal cleaning agent (preferably
containing ammonia) soap/detergent or warm water
with 10% vinegar. It is recommended to wipe the laminate with a dry cloth after cleaning to avoid streaks.
Pour a little extra cleaning agent on the cloth and then
wash the surface until all stains are dissolved. Alternatively, the cleaning agent can be applied directly to the

surface/stains – let the agent work for a while before
wiping it off again. Rinse with clean water.
To avoid streaks/spots, wipe the surface with a clean
dry cloth at the end. Abrasive cleansers should be avoided as they remove the surface gloss and can make the
surface more prone to staining. Laminate countertops
are considered heat-resistant, but it is recommended
to use a protective and insulating pad when working
with very hot items. If breaks in the laminate surface
are observed, the break should be sealed with sealing
material such as lacquer or similar. If this is not done,
there is a risk of moisture ingress and swelling of the
substrate material.
• Stainless steel countertops (AISI 316) should be cleaned with hot water and detergent. However, it may be
necessary to use steel cleaner, ”Vim cream,” or a cleaning
sponge such as ”Scotch Brite.” Stubborn grease and oil
stains can be removed with denatured alcohol or acetone. Cleaning should always be finished by rinsing with
clean water (preferably distilled water), and any remaining residue of polish and watermarks should be removed with a cloth. Alternatively, special cleaners containing
phosphoric acid for stainless steel can be used, then rinse
with distilled water, and let the surface dry. Treating the
whole surface of the component to avoid colour differences on the surface is recommended.
Cleaning agents that should not be used on stainless steel include the silver polish, chlorine-containing cleaners,
and bleach-containing hypochlorite (if spilt accidentally,
the surface should be immediately rinsed with plenty of
water). Stainless steel countertops and sinks can become
unsightly if scratched, so heavy or sharp objects should
be avoided from being dragged across the surface.
• Epoxy countertops should be regularly cleaned with
detergent. This type of synthetic countertop is very
popular due to its excellent resistance to stains from
chemical attacks.
• PP countertops should be regularly cleaned with detergent. This type of synthetic countertop is generally
