Metaline Splashbacks and
Panel Systems
1.1 Important Information
1. Laminex Metaline splashback and panel systems
must
be installed as per
Section 5 - “Kitchen Splashbacks Installations” contained in this manual to
deliver optimum product performance and compliance with the warranty.
2. The minimum set back distance between the installed Laminex Metaline
splashback panel and any cook top (gas or electric) is 30mm. This is to ensure
compliance with the building codes, as well as to prevent impact and thermal
damage caused by oversized pots being used on the rear burner or element.
Installations that are closer than 30mm will not be warranted. Laminex Metaline
splashbacks and panels are not suitable for installations behind gas or electric
cooktops where the benchtop is less than 600mm.
3. The Laminex Metaline splashback and panel systems has a proprietary coating that
allows it to be cleaned easily. Cleaning of Metaline splashbacks and panels should
follow the “Care and Maintenance” section, which is contained later in this manual
and also on the consumer warranty card. Deep gouges caused by abrasive cleaners
or scouring pads will not be warranted.
4. Laminex Metaline splashbacks have been assessed for fire safety properties.
Laminex Metaline splashbacks are classified as Group 2 (under specification
A2.4 of the BCA) and have the typical fire indices of 0 (Ignitability index), 0
(Spread of flame index), 0 (Heat evolved index) and 1(Smoke developed index).
5. ALWAYS follow the installation instructions as described in Section 5 of this
document. Failure to follow the installation instructions may create a potential
fire hazard to the consumer and will void any warranty.
6. All installations must be installed from the same batch and the same sheet
orientation (information on spotstick) to avoid any colour variation.
