12.2 Internal care
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. If necessary, treat finished surfaces with furniture polish.
Clean upholstery with dry foam specially manufactured for the use on uphol-
stery or with the foam of a mild detergent. Do not wash upholstery, only have
them cleaned. Protect upholstery from direct sunlight so that it does not loose
its colour.
Clean the imitation leather coverings by wiping them off in circular motion with
a soft cloth or sponge and a mixture of lukewarm water and mild lather. Treat
stubborn stains with a soft brush. For very hard-to-remove stains, use a mixture
of alcohol and water mixed in a 1:1 ratio. Afterwards, wipe it off with soap water.
Do not use any products that contain solvents or abrasives.
Wipe off Teflon coverings with an absorbent cloth or sponge and use a mild
household detergent.
Never rub wet or oily stains. Instead, dab them with an absorbent cloth. Work
from the outside to the inside to prevent spreading the stain.
When treating solid or dried stains, always try to scrape them off with a dull
knife or scraper or remove them off with a soft brush. Afterwards, dab off any
residue with a moist cloth.
Curtains and net curtains should be dry cleaned.
Vacuum clean the carpet, if necessary clean with carpet shampoo.
Z If possible, treat stains immediately.
Z Acrylic glass windows are delicate and require very careful handling (see Sec-
tion 12.1.3).
Z 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 forma-
tion of cracks.
Z 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.
Z Do not use vinegar based products to clean the toilet and water system, or for
decalcification of the water system. Vinegar-based products may cause damage
to seals or parts of the installation. Use standard decalcifying products for decal-
cification.
Z Save water. Mop up all remaining water.
Z Vacuum off carpets and cushions with a suitable brush attachment.

and service centres will be glad to advise.
