Vinyl simulated wood panels may be cleaned
with a mild, water-based cleaner and a soft cloth.
Do not use solvents on vinyl wood panels.
NOTE: Many cabinetry and furniture items
throughout this motorhome are
constructed either partially or
completely of real hardwoods. Because
of natural variations in woodgrain
density, slight differences in stain hue
may exist between one item and another.
This is the distinctive character and
beauty of real wood.
DECORATIVE VINYL WALL
PANELING – CLEANING
Decorative Vinyl Wall Paneling may be
cleaned with mild detergent and warm water. The
soap product should contain no abrasives, and the
use of a soft cloth or sponge with the cleaning
liquid should help preserve the finish of the vinyl.
Do not use bleach, cleaning agents with
solvents or harsh chemicals, oil based spray
cleaners, or other multipurpose cleaners such as
Fantastik
®
or Formula 409
®
as they could
damage the vinyl surface.
TABLES AND COUNTERTOPS
Work surfaces are covered with a plastic or
thermo-formed laminate that resists solvents,
stains, and abrasions. A coat of furniture wax
applied to these surfaces on the counters and
table will help preserve their beauty and make
cleaning easier. Always clean the surface before
applying wax.
SINK – STAINLESS STEEL
Care and Cleaning Instructions
The stainless steel sink can usually be cleaned
with water and soap or detergent using a soft
cloth or sponge.
•
Rinse thoroughly
with warm water and wipe
dry quickly to avoid spots and streaks.
•
For stubborn stains,
use a mild abrasive
cleanser like Soft Scrub
®
, Comet
®
, etc. Work
in the direction of the “grain” of the brushed
finish lines.
•
Never use steel wool.
Particles of steel from
the wool pad can embed into the sink surface,
then become rusty and unsightly.
•
Avoid contact with full-strength
bleaches,
household chemicals, and acid-based
cleaners. If this happens, rinse and wipe dry
quickly.
•
Salt, mustard, and mayonnaise
can cause
pitting if left on the steel sink surface. If
spilled, clean and rinse immediately.
•
A high iron content
in the water (hard water)
may result in a brown or rust-colored stained
appearance. If noticed, dry towel sink after
each use.
•
Do not use rubber mats
in the sink bowl.
Material trapped under mats can complicate
cleaning.
NOTE: Improper use may damage this product
and void the warranty.
RANGE AND REFRIGERATOR
For care and appearance maintenance of the
range and refrigerator, refer to the appliance
manufacturer’s operation and maintenance
manuals included in your InfoCase.
