Kitchen Cabinet Extension, Peninsulas, and Islands
Overview
This article provides basic information about kitchen extensions, peninsulas, and islands.
Metal drawer guides provide a smooth opening and
closing of the drawers in your coach. To open a drawer, lift
up slightly and pull open. This features helps prevent the
drawers from opening during transit. Your unit may also
include features such as adjustable pull out pantry boxes
in the kitchen, soft-close drawers, or a molded silverware
divider tray for added storage.
Humidity and Climate Change
Controlling the coach environment is the first priority of
cabinet care and maintenance. Wood products shrink
and grow according to the environment in which they are
placed. These changes are in direct relationship to the
relative humidity levels.
As the humidity increases, the
wood expands, and as the humidity decreases, the wood
shrinks. This process does not happen instantaneously the
longer the wood is exposed to low humidity, the more it will
shrink as it dries out, and visa versa.
Coach owners who travel around the country may be
more prone to this issue, as their coach is exposed
to both extreme humidity and extreme dryness. It is
necessary to acknowledge the fact that wood changes
according its environment. Newmar recommends
maintaining relative humidity levels between the range of
35-50 percent and temperature levels between the range
of 40-90 degrees. The air conditioner or a dehumidifier
will reduce the humidity level; however in dry climates,
a humidifier may also aid in maintaining the appropriate
humidity levels by raising the humidity level.
The following labels are examples of the notices that
may be posted in the coach in regards to condensation
prevention and formaldehyde exposure.
Care and Maintenance
The cabinetry should be wiped down with furniture polish
to sustain the natural beauty and luster of the wood.
As with any wood product, do not saturate these
cabinets with water or any other liquid. Be sure to
wipe up spills as they occur to avoid staining.
IMPORTANT
!
Hardwoods may change color or darken when
exposed to sunlight. It is important that the window
shades be down during long periods of storage.
Changing shades of color, or discoloration, from
exposure to sunlight is not a warrantable repair, as it
is the nature of the hardwood products in your coach.
NOTICE
!
Pull-Out Cabinet Extensions
The cabinet “extension” is incorporated directly into the
kitchen cabinetry, and glides out on drawer guides to
provide additional counter space when needed.
CAUTION
!
All pull-out cabinets must be secured prior to transit,
as damage to the cabinetry and/or interior of the
coach, or physical injury, may occur.
On 2017 and newer coaches, press
the push button switch right above
the pull-out island to release the
island extension. On older coaches,
unlock the extension by accessing
the lever located in the top drawer.
