NOTE!
Sunshine can cause plastic parts in the interior of the bathroom cubicle to turn yellow over time. This is
not however a quality defect.
18.3.1 Cleaning plastic parts of the vehicle’s interior
DANGER!
Working with concentrated acids is dangerous and should be avoided! To remove calcium deposits, use
commercially available acids only (e.g. acetic acid).
)
Plastic products can be carefully cleaned using warm water with the addition of a very slightly acidic, neutral or very
slightly alkaline cleaner.
)
You can use low concentrations (< 2 %) of mild household cleaners dissolved in water.
)
Abrasive agents such as scouring powder are not recommended as these will scratch plastic surfaces.
)
Very greasy or oily surfaces can be washed down with petroleum substances free from aromatic compounds such as
petroleum ether, ethanol or perchloroethylene. The use of organic solvents can damage the material.
)
Plastic mouldings can be damaged by stress cracks caused by a variety of products. Other chemicals may cause the
plastic to swell and soften. Therefore, these plastic mouldings should only be subjected to contact with the solvents
referred to above for a short period of time (maximum of 2 minutes) at room temperature.
)
While cleaning, keep mechanical stress on mouldings, e.g. clamping, to a minimum to prevent any deformation.
)
Water used for cleaning should be softened to prevent lime scale. If calcium deposits appear on the surface, these
can be removed with commercially available acids (e.g. acetic acid).
18.3.2 Cleaning and care of wooden parts (optional accessory)
In some models, the showering area is equipped with a shower grid and panelling made of wood. In order to assure the
lasting value of these wooden parts, follow the instructions for cleaning and care given below.
CAUTION!
)
Do not use chemical or cleaning agents containing chlorine for cleaning of the wooden parts!
)
In order to prevent the shower grate from degrading, regularly clean this accessory after use and let it
dry thoroughly outside the bathroom cubicle.
)
Clean the wooden parts using a scrubbing brush and a mild detergent.
)
In order to preserve the decorative wood grain and the hues of the wood it is recommended to treat the wood with
high-quality wood oil for hard woods and tropical wood. Depending on the frequency of use, this care measure
should be carried out two to three times a year.
