IMPORTANT
The fading of upholstery, carpet and other interior fabrics is generally caused by excessive sunlight. The drapes, blinds
or shades should be kept closed when the vehicle is parked for an extended period of time to minimize the fading.
Normal deterioration of appearance items due to wear and/or exposure is not covered by the Newmar Limited
Warranty.
Carpet
A weekly routine of vacuuming the carpet and fabrics throughout the vehicle is recommended. This will prevent
an accumulation of dirt that can detract from the materials appearance and shorten its life. Remember to empty or
replace vacuum bags before they become half full. In carpet areas that receive the most sunlight, close the curtains
frequently to prevent fading. Act quickly when anything is spilled or dropped on the carpet to reduce the chances
of it setting into a stain.
Included in the Owner’ s Information Package is the carpet manufacturer’ s Carpet Care Guide. The Carpet Care
Guide lists detailed information on cleaning soiled areas and removing stains from the carpet installed in the unit.
Fabrics
The fabrics used in this motorhome for the bedspread, draperies, headboard and valances contain fire-retardant
additives that may be damaged by use of improper cleaning products. Cleaning instructions for these items are
DRY CLEAN ONLY. Water-based products are not recommended for cleaning the fabrics in your new unit. Most
water-based household cleaning products are not formulated for use on these fabrics and may cause excessive
shrinkage or fading. For best results, the fabrics in this unit should be cleaned by a professional carpet and
upholstery cleaner.
Spills, spots or stains should be treated as soon as possible to avoid permanent damage. If a spill occurs, blot the
fluid with a dry towel. Do not rub the spill. Rubbing may cause the liquid to “set” in the fabric. When attempting
to clean a spot or stain, always start from the outside and work inward to avoid spreading it further. Some stains
or soils are extremely difficult or impossible to be removed completely. These should receive immediate,
professional attention. Spills, spots, stains or soils are the responsibility of the owner, and are not covered by the
Newmar Limited Warranty.
WARNING
When cleaning the upholstery and fabric in the unit, do not use lacquer thinner, nail polish remover, laundry soaps or
bleach. Never use carbon tetrachloride or gasoline for cleaning purposes. These items may cause damage to the
materials being cleaned, and most are highly flammable.
Walls & Ceiling
The wall and ceiling coverings should be cleaned periodically to maintain a new appearance. Use a non-abrasive
cleaner with a soft cloth on the walls. Do not use solvents of any kind. Solvents may damage the surface.
Dash
In order to keep the dash in like-new condition, follow these guidelines:
Do—
• Dust and clean the dash with a soft, damp cloth, or chamois, wiping the surface gently.
