11.1.5 Waste Water Tank
Clean the waste water tank after every use of the caravan.
Open the cleaning opening on the waste water tank and the drain cock.
Rinse thoroughly with fresh water.
11.1.6 Entrance Step
If the entrance step is lubricated, coarse particles of dirt can settle on the lubricant during the journey
and cause damage to the operating mechanism of the entrance step. Therefore, do not lubricate the
moving parts of the entrance step.
11.2 Caring for the Interior
Surface and knobs of furniture, lamps and synthetic parts in the toilet and living area should be
cleaned with water and a wool cloth. A mild cleanser may be added to the water.
Clean upholstery with dry foam specially manufactured for the use on upholstery or with the
foam of a mild detergent. Do not wash upholstery! Protect upholstery from direct sunlight so that
it does not loose its colour.
Curtains and net curtains should be dry cleaned.
Vacuum clean the carpet, if necessary clean with carpet shampoo.
Clean PVC-floor covering with special cleansing agents. Do not place carpet on wet PVC-floor
covering. The carpet and the PVC-floor covering may stick together.
Never clean the sink or the gas cooker with a scourer. Avoid anything which may cause scratch-
ing or grooves.
Clean gas cooker only with a moist cloth. Prevent any water from penetrating the cooker. Water
may damage the gas cooker.
> Acrylic glass windows are delicate and require very careful handling (see section
"Windows of Acrylic Glass")!
> Synthetic parts in the toilet and living area are very delicate and should be treated with
care. Do not use solvents, alcohol-containing cleansers or scourers containing sand!
This procedure will help you to avoid brittleness and formation of cracks.
> Do not pour any corrosive agents into the drain holes. Never pour boiling water directly
into the drain holes. Corrosive agents and boiling water cause damage to drainage
pipes and siphon traps.
> Do not use vinegar based products for cleaning the Thetford toilet and the water sys-
tem and for decalcifying the water system. Vinegar-based products may cause dam-
age to seals or parts of the installation. Use standard decalcifying products for decalci-
fication.
> The upholstery will fade over time, if it is exposed to sunlight. If the temperature within
the vehicle rises rapidly as well, the colour will change at an accelerated rate.
Therefore, HYMER AG recommends that you close the shades on the windows of the
parked vehicle when there is strong sunlight.
> For information about the use of maintenance products, our representatives and serv-
ice centres will be glad to advise.
