CLEANING THE SHIELDS
The shields on the Signature Series machines are made from POLYCARBONATE.
Adherence to regular and proper cleaning procedures is recommended to preserve
the appearance.
Washing to Minimize Scratches
Wash POLYCARBONATE with a mild soap or detergent (e.g. Original Dawn
Dishwashing Liquid) and lukewarm water using a clean sponge or a soft cloth. Rinse
well with clean water. Dry thoroughly with a chamois or moist cellulose sponge to
prevent water spots. Do not scrub or use brushes on these products.
Fresh paint splashes, grease and smeared glazing compounds can be removed
easily before drying by rubbing lightly with isopropyl. Afterward, a warm final wash
should be made, using a mild soap or detergent solution and ending with a thorough
rinsing with clean water.
Some Important “Don’ts”
• DO NOT use abrasive or highly alkaline cleaners on the shields.
• Never scrape shields with squeegees, razor blades or other sharp instruments.
• Benzene, gasoline, acetone or carbon tetrachloride should never be used on the
shields.
• DO NOT clean shields in hot sun or at elevated temperatures.
Compatible Cleaners for Shields
The following cleaning agents have been found compatible with POLYCARBONATE.
The manufacturer’s recommendations and instructions should be followed. They are
Original Dawn, Freon T.F., Palmolive Liquid, Top Job, and Windex with Ammonia D.
Removal of Paint, Marking Pen, Labels
Butyl cellosolve works well for removal of paints, marking pen inks, lipstick, etc.
Labels, stickers, etc. may be removed using kerosene. When the solvent will not
penetrate sticker material apply heat (hair dryer) to soften the adhesive and promote
removal. GASOLINE SHOULD NOT BE USED.
