Prefix Letters
These indicate the type of unit, such as
BU for base unit; WU for wall unit; BR
for broom unit; and so on.
Numbers
The numbers indicate the width of the
unit followed either by the depth, or
in case of wall units, the height. For
example a WU1056 is a wall unit 1000mm
wide and 561mm high. A BU56 is a base
unit 500mm wide and 600mm deep.
Suffix Letters
Any letters following the number code
indicate a variant of the type as follows:
A
B
Variations of corner base unit
or appliance housing formats
Handings

handed. Handings should be expressed
as if looking at the unit from the front.
Flat pack units can be used as both left
and right handed.
C
Handings required are:
D - Drawer line base unit (units
The side of the hinge on single units (e.g.
left hand hinged)
will be supplied drawer line

Corner Base Units
All corner base units have centre hung

blanking panels are fitted as standard.
On corner base units with a corner post,
a white blanking panel covers the void of
the unit. A 600mm colour co-ordinated
blanking panel is fitted where corner
posts are NOT required – e.g. when the
blank abuts a void for a freestanding
appliance or tray space.
IMPORTANT: Please specify the handing
of the side of the blanking panel
when ordering.
Corner Post
The Symphony corner post allows
product ranges with protruding handles
to be offset by 30mm in order to avoid
possible clashing of drawer handles in a
corner. The corner post automatically
spaces out the units to the correct size
across Dimension A. However the fitter
must remember to position the corner
unit (as appropriate) from the wall.

Single base units can be hinged left or right. Please specify when ordering. For an explanation of handing, see page 4.
Symphony’s range of corner base units allows wide flexibility in the positioning of corner units for the clearance of water or soil vent pipes when required. Depending on
the blanking panel/door combinations specified, corner base units can be positioned 30mm, 130mm, 230mm or 330mm from the return wall in order to join with either a
500mm or 600mm wide base unit. Please specify the handing of the blanking panel side when ordering. For an explanation of handing see page 4. NB: if utilising 500mm
wide units the overall space required for the corner base unit will be reduced by 100mm.

Performance Testing
Mason Mitre Joints
Worktops can also be supplied with a factory
cut mitred joint and jointing bolts for assembly
on site.
The only recognised British Standard for the
strength and performance of kitchen furniture
is BS 6222 Part 2 Level H.

Double postformed up to
900mm deep – 3600mm max. length.
Please allow an extra 23mm for male to female
connections and an extra 30mm for corner
post situations.
Level H is the performance standard
for Heavy Domestic Use, a vital
requirement for social housing
applications. Symphony 15mm and
18mm kitchen cabinets to BS EN 312-P2
and P3 comply with the requirements
of BS 6222 Part 2 Level H, which
includes demanding tests to ensure
fitness for purpose.

Cabinet and surface strength
As part of BS 6222 Part 2 Level H,
Symphony 15mm and 18mm cabinets
undergo the most stringent test
procedures to certify fitness for
purpose in social housing applications
and a long life of unfailing service.
For example, the cabinet and frame
are subjected to demanding forces,
greater than encountered in everyday
domestic use, to ensure their strength
and integrity. The ability of the rails to
withstand sudden lifting is tested, with
Level H allowing no component failure.
Tests for the strength of the top and
bottom surfaces replicate the effect
of someone sitting on the worktop
or standing on the bottom ledge to
reach something.
Shelves, doors and hinges
For the storage parts, the strength
of the shelf supports and the
capacity of the shelves to take a
full load with minimal deflection are
stringently assessed. A load of 1.5kg
per 10,000mm2 is applied for seven
days with deflection measured both
at initial loading and at the end of the
test period. This load is increased to
1.75kg for contract kitchens to meet
specifications for heavy domestic use.
To make sure they can cope with
the constant heavy use, doors and
their hinges are tested for strength,
wear and fatigue, as well as repeated
slamming, open and shut actions.
For example, doors are opened and
closed 40,000 times for the domestic
environment, and 80,000 times
for heavy domestic use in the
contract market.
Surface durability
Symphony frontals have been tested
to FIRA gold award standard for
durability.
The performance of the surface finish
is put to the test to ensure stain
resistance to day-to-day spillages such
as juices, oil and coffee, as well as
household chemicals such as ammonia
and disinfectant. Impact resistance
to scratches and dents is also tested
replicating the effect of a heavy pan
being dropped onto a surface or a
sharp knife.
Drawers and handles
Drawers are submitted to equally
uncompromising assessment, including
downward load while open, slam shut
and open, the strength of the drawer
bottom, and general wear and fatigue.
Flaps on doors that open downwards
are tested to represent a person
leaning on the flap. To test the strength
of runners, a drawer is loaded and an
increasing vertical force is applied to
one corner.
Even the handles are strength tested,
with no component failure permitted.
Bonding of the strip handles to
the frontals is thoroughly examined
for excellent adherence and
water seepage.

Care and Attention
Notes:
Symphony furniture is designed to provide many
years of reliable service. To help keep it that way
here are some simple guidelines.
Units
Screws fittings should be checked
regularly to ensure that they are
secure to prevent excess strain on the
furniture. Do not place heavy weights
on partially open doors or drawers.
Worktops - Cleaning stains
Always start by trying the gentlest
method. If stains persist, work through
the following steps, repeating each
method if the stain appears to
be disappearing.
Avoid using strong chemicals or
abrasive cleaners. Simply use warm
water with a mild detergent and a
damp cloth to clean. Once cleaned,
remove any excess moisture with a
clean, dry cloth.
Step 1. For routine cleaning, use a
damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap
or detergent.
Frontals
Frontals should be treated with care
to maintain their good looks and
performance.
Never use abrasive cleaners or strong
chemicals on furniture. Melamine and
laminates are best cleaned with a damp
cloth, warm water and a
mild detergent.
Do not allow water to stand on
surfaces, always wipe dry immediately
with a soft, clean cloth. Clean and
protect with furniture polish. Prevent
marking or scratching by eliminating
the risk of contact from sharp or
heavy objects.
Step 2. For difficult stains apply a
mild non-abrasive household cleaner/
detergent with a soft bristled brush.
Step 3. If stubborn stains persist, try a
paste of baking soda and water, or a
non-scratch cleaner such as Cif Active
Cream or Flash All Purpose, scrubbing
lightly with a soft bristled brush for 10
to 20 seconds.
Step 4. Apply undiluted household
bleach or nail polish remover, let stand
for no longer than 2 minutes, and rinse
thoroughly with warm water. This step
may be repeated if the stain appears
to be going away and the colour of the
laminate has not been affected.
Warning: Do not expose the surface
to household bleach for prolonged
periods, which may result in permanent
discoloration.
Worktops - Cuts and scratches
• Always use a cutting board –
sharp knives can damage any
laminate surface.
• Apply a light coating of a non-oily
furniture polish to help hide fine scratches, e.g. Pledge Clean & Dust.
Worktops - Heat
• Never place hot pans, dishes or
heat producing appliances directly on worktops.
• Always use a heat shield, hot pad or trivet to avoid blistering or cracking of laminate surface.
Worktops - Special do’s and don’ts
Do: Always rinse thoroughly after
cleaning – residue from cleaning
solutions is the single greatest cause of
damage to a laminate surface.
Do: Wipe up spills right away and rinse
thoroughly, particularly harsh chemical
liquids such as oven cleaners, drain
cleaners containing caustic soda, rust
removers and toilet bowl cleaners.
Do not: Use acidic or abrasive cleaners
– they can damage laminate surfaces.
Do not: Expose the surface to household
bleach for prolonged periods which may
result in permanent discoloration.
Do not: Apply excessive scrubbing,
especially on surfaces with a gloss finish.
