EXTERIOR LIGHTS
Make sure to check the operation of all exterior lights often. Check identification, clearance, turn signal, brake,
and backup lights to make sure they are working correctly. Replace burnt out bulbs as soon as possible.
APPLIANCES, SINKS AND COUNTERTOPS
Clean with hot soapy water or a good liquid cleaner. Avoid using abrasive cleaners. Never use steel wool on
stainless steel, since the steel particles left in the sink can rust and become unsightly. Also, when cleaning
stainless steel with a mild cleanser, rub gently with the grain, and rinse well. Rinse after each use and wipe
dry.
Be sure to remove all food and ice from the refrigerator at the end of each trip. Prop the door open slightly to
keep the interior dry, and free of mold, mildew, and odors.
Make sure to read all literature provided with each of the appliances, and follow the maintenance instructions
included. Pay particular attention to any cautions or warnings included. Also read the rest of this manual,
following the instructions for the care and use of appliances.
Do not place hot pans directly on countertops, because they can loosen or scorch surface.
PRE-FINISHED PANELS AND WOOD SURFACES
Treat cabinetry and wood surfaces as you would any fine furniture product in your home. Proper care and
maintenance of wood products will keep them looking like new for many seasons of use.
Clean pre-finished panels with a spray-type furniture polish. Avoid getting wood surfaces wet. Wipe off and
dry immediately if you do get wet. Do not use abrasive cleansers around wood finishes. Clean regularly with a
soft cloth and cleaner designed for wood products such as lemon oil or any oil based wood cleaning product.
Avoid constant exposure to direct sunlight which can cause fading and drying of wood surfaces.
WATER SYSTEM
Check all hoses, fittings, and connections regularly for leaks and signs of wear. Make sure to keep the system
sanitized, and take care to winterize during cold weather (see instructions elsewhere in this manual). Do not
allow water to remain in system for extended periods or after a trip.
