How do I clean the splashback?
Clean with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive kitchen cleaner. Rinse with water and dry with a lint-free cloth to avoid streaks.
Is the printed design durable?

What is the warranty period for this splashback?
The Designer Kitchen Splashbacks Ava Sterling glass splashback comes with a 1-year guarantee.
Can I install this splashback behind any type of hob?
It is suitable for electric and induction hobs, offering protection from splashes and heat up to 400°C. It is not designed for direct exposure to open flames from gas hobs.

Troubleshooting
Splashback does not adhere to the wall
Ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and perfectly flat. Verify that the correct type of adhesive (Clear Natural Curing Adhesive for glass) was used and applied according to its instructions. Check if the adhesive has fully cured.
Visible adhesive marks or bubbles
This can occur if the adhesive was applied unevenly or if the wrong type was used. In some cases, it may be necessary to remove the splashback and re-install with the correct adhesive and application method.
Scratches or chips on the glass surface
Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials. If minor scratches occur, they may be difficult to remove. For chips, contact the manufacturer regarding potential repair or replacement options, though this is uncommon with toughened glass.
Difficulty cleaning grease or splatters
Use a dedicated glass cleaner or a mild, non-abrasive kitchen cleaner. Ensure all cleaning agents are wiped off thoroughly and dried to prevent streaks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
Installation requires a clean, dry, and flat wall surface. Use a Clear Natural Curing Adhesive specifically recommended for glass splashbacks. Apply the adhesive evenly to the wall or the back of the splashback as per adhesive instructions. Carefully position the splashback onto the wall, ensuring it is straight and aligned. Press firmly to secure. Allow the adhesive to cure fully according to the manufacturer's guidelines before using the kitchen area normally.
Compatibility:
This splashback is designed to be installed on most standard kitchen walls. Ensure the wall is sound and capable of supporting the weight of the glass. It is compatible with most cooktop types, including gas and electric, providing protection from splashes and heat. It is not suitable for direct contact with open flames.
Care:
To maintain the beauty and longevity of your splashback, clean it regularly using a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive kitchen cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive scouring pads, or steel wool, as these can scratch the glass surface. For stubborn marks, a glass cleaner can be used. Wipe dry with a clean, lint-free cloth.
