ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

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 counter-
top 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 nish, apply
an abrasive cleanser and bu it with a Scotch-Brite pad, us-
ing a circular motion. Use the same technique in the case of a
cigarette burn. If the nish is a gloss nish, please contact the
dealer for specic 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 o these chemicals, using appropriate safety measures to avoid injury.
In the event of subsequent staining or spotting, sand the aected surface lightly with ne sandpaper
(400 grit or ner), then bu in a circular motion with a Scotch-Brite pad.

e metallic light xtures, bath accessories, and faucets can be cleaned by wiping with a so, damp
cloth. Washing with warm water will remove dry water spots. Polishing those xtures with a so
cloth will also enhance their appearance. Do not use cleaners that contain harsh or abrasive chemi-
cals. Alcohol or other similar solvents should never be used.
e CO/LP gas detectors are self-contained and DO NOT require
any maintenance other than normal cleaning and periodic test-
ing. e smoke detector installed in the motorhome is a nine-
volt, battery-operated detector. e CO/LP gas detector is wired
directly to the house batteries.
e batteries in the smoke detector need to be tested periodical-
ly and replaced when necessary. When cleaning the case on any
of the detectors, use a damp cloth or paper towel. Do not spray
cleaners or wax directly into the case as this action may cause
false alarms or hinder the normal operation of the detectors.
An inexpensive battery tester would be a good investment to make. is tester would allow checking
of the batteries in the various alarms, any ashlights used in the motorhome, and batteries in other
appliances which may be in the motorhome during travels.
