• Use a mild detergent and lukewarm water.
• Dry the surface, after washing and rinsing, by blotting with a damp cloth or chamois.
Do Not—
• Use harsh chemicals that may damage the dash.
• Use cloths containing grit or abrasive particles or kitchen scouring compounds to clean or dust the dash.
• Subject the dash to hard, direct blows.
• Use boiling water, strong solvents or other materials listed below to clean the dash, as they will soften the
plastic.
Woodwork
The wood cabinetry should be cared for with furniture polish to sustain the natural beauty and luster of the wood.
This will also keep your cabinetry looking new, and prevent the wood from drying. The simulated plank flooring
should be protected from dents, scratches and nicks by installing protective pads on the bottom of chairs and
tables. Use of area rugs and floor mats by the entrance door is recommended to trap dirt. To clean the flooring,
begin by vacuuming the floor to remove loose dust and dirt. Then, damp mop the floor with one ounce of
Wilsonart Flooring Cleaner diluted in one gallon of clean, warm water (or use a non-abrasive, soap-free cleaner).
The mop should be damp, not dripping. Do not use soap-based cleaners, scouring powders, steel wool, abrasive
cleaners, wax or polish on the floor. To remove stubborn spots like shoe polish, oil, tar, markers, scuffs, etc., use a
household solvent, acetone or nail polish remover, then wipe with a damp cloth. To remove chocolate, grease,
juice or wine, use warm water and a non-abrasive cleaner. To remove candle wax or chewing gum, carefully
scrape off when the material has hardened. For further tips, please see the manufacturer’
s information sheet in
your Owner’ s Information Packet.
Counter Tops
To properly care for the countertop in your new unit, always use a heat pad or trivet to protect the surface from
hot objects that may mar or damage the surface. Also avoid cutting directly on the surface and avoid using harsh
chemicals on the counter top. Wipe the counter top with a damp cloth to remove water spots. For most dirt and
stains, wipe with a damp cloth and use soapy water or ammonia-based cleaners.
Accessories
The brass light fixtures, bath accessories and faucets can be cleaned by wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Washing
with warm water will remove dry water spots. Do not use cleaners that contain harsh or abrasive chemicals.
Alcohol or similar solvents should never be used.
Detectors
The CO and Propane detectors (if equipped) are self-contained and DO NOT require any maintenance other than
normal cleaning and dusting. The smoke detector installed in this coach is 9 volt battery operated. The battery
needs to be tested periodically and replaced when necessary. When cleaning the case on any of the detectors, use
a damp cloth or paper towel. Do not spray cleaners or wax directly into the case as it may cause false alarms.
