Figure 16-8: Kitchen cabinetry
To care properly for the countertops 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-produc-
ing appliances (such as electric skillets), when set directly on top of the countertop, can possibly mar
the beauty and nish of the product.
Additionally, since heat-producing appliances can also damage countertop seams, it is essential to
check with Tin Motorhomes to identify seam locations to avoid them during subsequent use of the
motorhome. Although solidsurfacing is repaired easily, certain steps should be taken to protect it.
e wood cabinetry should be cared for with furniture pol-
ish to sustain the natural beauty and luster of the wood. is
procedure will also keep the cabinetry looking new, prevent
the wood from drying, and reduce chances of accidental
staining or aging.
Use area rugs and oor mats by the entrance door to trap
dirt.
Use soap and water to clean the ooring, begin by vacuum-
ing the oor to remove loose dust and dirt. en, damp mop
the oor with a cleaning solution consisting of any standard
cleaning solution. e mop should be damp, but not drip-
ping. Feel free to use soap-based cleaners, scouring powders, steel wool, abrasive cleaners, wax, or
polish on the ceramic oor as this oor is impervious to these cleaning agents.
To remove stubborn spots like shoe polish, oil, tar, markers, scus, and the like, use a household sol-
vent or nail-polish remover on those spots then wipe those treated areas with a damp cloth.
To remove chocolate, grease, juice, or wine, use warm water and any o-the-shelf abrasive cleaner.
To remove candle wax or chewing gum, carefully scrape o when the material has hardened. For
further tips, please see the manufacturer’s information sheet in your TinMotorhomes Owners In-
formation Package.
