To care properly for the countertops (Figure 14-18) in your new vehicle, always use a heat pad or
trivet to protect the surface from hot objects that may mar or damage the countertop surface. Hot
pans and heat-producing appliances (such as electric skillets), when set directly on top of the
countertop, can possibly mar the beauty and finish of the product.
Additionally, since heat-producing appliances can also damage countertop seams, it is essential to
check with Tiffin Motorhomes to identify seam locations to avoid them during subsequent use of
the motor home. Although solid surfacing is repaired easily, certain steps should be taken to protect
it.
Be sure to use a cutting board, rather than
cutting directly on the countertop surfaces.
Although minor scratches and cuts can be
repaired, a little care will assure that the
countertop surfaces will keep looking new
for years.
Avoid using harsh chemicals on the
countertop. Wipe the countertop with a
damp cloth to remove water spots. For
mostdirt and stains, wipe with a damp cloth
and use soapy water or ammonia-based
cleaners (e.g., Windex).
If a stain doesn’t respond to soap and water,
for a matte finish, apply an abrasive cleanser
and buff it with a Scotch-Brite pad, using a circular motion. Use the same technique in the case of a
cigarette burn. If the finish is a gloss finish, please contact the dealer for specific cleaning
instructions.
Do not expose the surface to harsh chemicals, such as paint remover, turpentine, nail polish
remover, or any stove and drain cleansers. If these chemicals should come into contact with the
countertop surfaces, immediately wash off these chemicals, using appropriate safety measures to
avoid injury.
In the event of subsequent staining or spotting, sand the affected surface lightly with fine sandpaper
(400 grit or finer), then buff in a circular motion with a Scotch-Brite pad.
