SECTION 11 –
MAINTENANCE AND STORAGE
NOTE: Many cabinetry and furniture items
throughout this motor home are
constructed either partially or
completely of real hardwoods. Because
of natural variations in woodgrain
density, slight differences in stain hue
may exist between one item and another.
This is the distinctive character and
beauty of real wood.
TABLES AND COUNTERTOPS
Work surfaces are covered with a plastic or
thermo-formed laminate that resists solvents,
stains and abrasions. A coat of furniture wax
applied to these surfaces on the counters and
table will help preserve their beauty and make
cleaning easier. Always clean the surface before
applying wax.
GALLEY SINK
Stainless Steel
Care & Cleaning Instructions
The stainless steel sink can usually be cleaned
with water and soap or detergent using a soft
cloth or sponge.
• Rinse thoroughly with warm water and wipe
dry quickly to avoid spots and streaks.
• For stubborn stains, use a mild abrasive
cleanser like Soft Scrub
®
, Comet
®
, etc. Work
in the direction of the ‘grain’ of the brushed
finish lines.
• Never use steel wool. Particles of steel from
the wool pad can embed into the sink surface,
then become rusty and unsightly.
• Avoid contact with full-strength bleaches,
household chemicals, and acid based
cleaners. If this happens, rinse and wipe dry
quickly.
• Salt, mustard and mayonnaise can cause
pitting if left on the steel sink surface. If
spilled, clean and rinse immediately.
• A high iron content in the water (hard water)
may result in a brown or rust colored stained
appearance. If noticed, dry towel sink after
each use.
• Do not use rubber mats in the sink bowl.
Material trapped under mats can complicate
cleaning.
NOTE: Improper use may damage this product
and void the warranty.

Tub and Shower Walls
The tub and shower walls in the bathroom
should be cleaned with mild soap and warm
water. Do not use an abrasive cleaner on the
shower walls and tub, as scratching and
discoloration may occur. Stubborn stains may be
removed with an automotive-type cleanser.
Lavatory Sink – ABS Plastic
General Cleaning. Clean often with hot water
and soap. If a cleaner or cleanser is necessary,
make sure the product is recommended for use on
plastics.
Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners, ammonia or
citric-based products as discoloration may result.
Rinse all food, beverage or cosmetic residue
from the sink as soon as possible. Some residues,
if left to sit in the sink, may require the use of
detergent or a mild liquid or gel-type kitchen
surface cleaner.
If acids or medicine spill on the surface, wash
the spills immediately.
Marks or Discoloration. For most stubborn
stains, fill the sink about one quarter full with a
50/50 solution of bleach and water. After 10 or 15
minutes of soaking drain solution from the sink
as you rinse both sides and bottom.
