Preventing Heat Damage

While DuPont

Corian

solid surface is heat resistant, as with all countertop materials, it is important to minimize direct heat exposure

to protect your surface and investment.

do not place hot pots, pans, etc.,

directly on the countertop surface.

Always use heat trivets or hot pads when placing hot objects on any surface. Always use a trivet under portable heat generating

appliances such as a toaster oven. Allow cookware to cool before placing it into a Corian

sink.

Preventing Other Damage

In most cases Corian

solid surface can be repaired if damaged. Be sure

to follow these guidelines to help you prevent permanent damage.

• Avoid getting strong chemicals, such as paint removers, oven cleaners,

etc., on your Corian

countertop. If a spill does occur, promptly ﬂush

the surface with water to fully rinse off the chemical.

• Do not cut directly on Corian

countertops. Use a cutting board.

• Boiling water alone will not damage your Corian

sink; however, it is a

recommended practice to run cold water from the faucet while pouring

boiling water into the sink.

Removing Blotchy Appearance or Fine Scratches

You may notice that the surface of your countertop begins to look blotchy.

Typically this is caused by leaving hard water to dry on the surface which will leave a ﬁlm of minerals. To remove blotchy appearance or ﬁne

scratches:

• Pour some mild abrasive liquid cleanser, such as Soft Scrub

, on a damp sponge or cloth and rub over area using small circular motions, from

the front to the back, then side to side, overlapping the circles until the entire area has been cleaned.

• Thoroughly rinse the top with clean water and Wipe Surface Completely Dry.

• Check to see if blotchiness is gone. If not, repeat procedure applying more pressure on the sponge or cloth.

• Continue over all affected areas until all ﬁlm is removed.

Note: While this procedure may remove or minimize the look of very ﬁne scratches, other deeper scratches may remain. They may be removed

by following the procedure below or you may wish to hire a professional reﬁnisher to reﬁnish your countertop. Contact the Authorized Corian

retailer from whom you purchased your Corian

solid surface product to inquire about getting a quote for reﬁnishing.
