Laminate
Clean laminate countertops with a damp
cloth or sponge. Use a spray cleaner to remove
stubborn stains. Avoid harsh abrasives,
scouring powders, peroxides or bleaches.
These products may dull or damage the
surface. Avoid contact with dyes, bleaches and
indelible inks used on food packages. Do not
use laminated countertops as a cutting board.
Laminated countertops are resistant to minor
heat; however, hot pans, irons and lit cigarettes
damage the surface. Use hot pads under pans
taken directly from the stovetop.
CAUTION:
Do not cut directly on the laminate
surface.

Stainless steel can be easily damaged by
improper cleaners. For example: many liquid
cleansers designed to be gentle on smooth
surfaces will damage stainless steel. Only use
the methods outlined below, and always follow
the directions that come with the cleaner
(usually located on the bottle).
General Cleaning:
Use warm, soapy water and dry with a
‹
soft, clean cloth.
For Heavy Soiling:
Only use a stainless steel cleaner
‹
designed specifically for appliances.
Follow all directions from the
‹
manufacturer of the cleaner.
Do not use:
Abrasive powders or cleaners
‹
Acidic citrus or vinegar based cleaners
‹
Ammonia
‹
Steel wool pads
‹
Abrasive cloths
‹
Oven cleaners
‹
CAUTION:
Citric acid permanently discolors
stainless steel. Immediately remove
mustard, tomato juice, marinara or
citrus-based sauces or products from
stainless steel surfaces.
CAUTION:
Do not cut directly on the stainless
steel surface.

Water Spots:
Glass will develop water spots when not
properly cleaned. Water spots are magnified on
a reflective finish. Use a squeegee immediately
after washing to reduce water spotting. To
remove stubborn water stains from reflective
glass use
Cerium Oxide Polishing Compound
,
made by C.R. Lawrence, available at most
glass shops.
Condensation
Condensation develops when water vapor
is present in the air. More vapor is added by
breathing, bathing, cooking, etc. and collects
wherever air space is available. When the
temperature reaches dew point, water vapors in
the air condense and change to liquid form.
Controlling Moisture Condensation:
Reduce or eliminate interior moisture
condensation during cold weather by using the
following steps:
Partially open roof vents and windows
‹
to allow outside air to circulate into
the interior. Increase ventilation when
a large number of people are in the
motorhome. Even in damp weather
conditions, the air outside will be far
drier than the interior air.
Install a dehumidifier. Continuous
‹
use of a dehumidifier is effective in
removing excess moisture from interior
air. Use of a dehumidifier is not a cure-
all, however, it will reduce the amount
of outside air needed for ventilation.
Run the range vent fan when cooking
‹
and the bath vent fan (or open the bath
vent) when bathing, to reduce water
vapor. Avoid excessive boiling or use
of steam producing hot water.
Do not heat the motorhome interior
‹
with the range or oven. This increases
the risk of toxic fumes and depletes
oxygen. Open flames also add
moisture to the interior air and increase
condensation.
In very cold weather, leave cabinet
‹
and closet doors partially open. Air
flow will warm and ventilate the
interior storage compartments and
exterior walls to reduce or eliminate
condensation and prevent the
possibility of ice formations.
