Care
11
Unrolled seat belts can be cleaned with warm soapsuds. The seat belt
must be completely dry before being rolled up.
Clean water tank with water and dish washing liquid and rinse subse-
quently with plenty of fresh water.
11.3 Extractor hood
Clean the extractor hood filter occasionally. How often cleaning is necessary
depends on how often the extractor hood is used. Do not wait to clean the filter
until the performance of the extractor hood has noticeably decreased.
Cleaning the filter: Wash the filter with warm water and some washing-up liquid.
11.4 Winter care
De-icing salt damages the underbody and the parts open to water spray.
Bürstner recommends to wash the vehicle more frequently during wintertime.
Mechanical and surface treated parts and the underside are under particular
strain, and should therefore be cleaned thoroughly.
11.4.1 Preparations
Check the motorhome for paint and rust damage. Repair damage as nec-
essary.
Make certain that water cannot penetrate the automatic floor ventilation
system and the heater.
Use a wax-based rust inhibitor to protect the metal parts of the underbody.
Use appropriate protection for external painted surfaces.
11.4.2 Winter operation
During winter operation, condensation develops when the motorhome is occu-
pied under low-temperature conditions. To ensure good interior air quality and
avoid vehicle damage from condensation, sufficient ventilation is essential.
When heating the vehicle, the heater should be at the highest setting and
roof storage cabinets, curtains and blinds should be opened. This ensures
optimal ventilation.
Only heat if the circulation system is switched on.
In the morning, lift up all cushions, air out storage boxes and dry any damp
areas.
If there is any risk of frost, always operate the heater with approximately
15 °C and put the circulation fan in automatic mode. In the case of extreme
external temperatures, the furniture flaps and doors should be left slightly
open. The inflowing warm air can help prevent the freezing of water pipes,
for example, and counteract the formation of condensation in the storage
spaces.
If there is any risk of frost, cover the windscreen with winter insulation mats.
Keep the vent and the skylights free from snow.
If condensation has still developed, just wipe it off.
