SECTION 11
MAINTENANCE & STORAGE
NOTE: Do not use steel wool or metal scouring
pads.
Mineral Based Stains.
Cleaners designed to
remove iron or rust should not harm the sink, nor
will solvents such as denatured alcohol, mineral
spirits or acetone.
Marks or Discoloration.
White automotive
rubbing compound may be used to remove
stubborn marks or discoloration. Use of these
products will not damage the solid surface.
Always follow label directions.
DOORS AND WINDOWS
Windows may be periodically cleaned with a
good quality glass cleaner or mild soap solution
using a soft cloth. Use care when removing ice or
frost from the windows. Always use a plastic ice
scraper, never one made of metal. Use care when
removing ice from the mirrors to protect the
reflective surfaces.
Door locks and hinges should be lubricated
periodically with powdered graphite to ensure
trouble-free operation and to protect against
freeze-up.
DAY/NIGHTER PLEATED
BLINDS – CARE/ADJUSTMENT
Tension Adjustment:
The tension of the pleated blinds can be
adjusted if they become loose and will not stay up
when raised, or they are too tight and are difficult
to raise and lower.
To tighten tension
Wrap the lower end of the guide cords (on
each side of the shade) a few turns around the
spools at the lower corners of the blinds.
To loosen tension
Unwrap the guide cords from the spools one
turn at a time until desired tension is achieved.
Preserving Shape:
The pleated blinds are made using high
quality materials that are designed and woven to
retain their shape throughout their useful life.
They may lose their crisp shape, however, if left
in a lowered position for an extended period of
time without being raised periodically. If this
happens, the pleats can be restored using this
simple method.
•
With the blind fully lowered, dampen the
entire area of the pleats with a good quality
laundry spray starch.
•
Raise the blind fully while still damp and let it
remain in the raised position for about 24
hours.
•
Reapply starch periodically (every few
months) as needed.
PREPARING VEHICLE FOR

will lessen the possibility of damage to your
vehicle. Prepare the motor home for vacancy just
as you would if you were leaving your house for
an extended period:
