12.1.5 Underbody
The underbody of the vehicle is partly coated with an age-resistant underbody pro-
tection. Should the underbody protection be damaged, repair immediately. Do not
treat areas coated with underbody protection with spray oil.
12.1.6 Waste water tank
Clean the waste water tank after every use of the vehicle.
Cleaning:
 Open the cleaning opening on the waste water tank and the drain cock.
 Thoroughly rinse out the waste water tank with fresh water.
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.
Z Only use products approved by the manufacturer. Our authorised dealers and
service centres will be happy to advise you.
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.
Z For information about the use of maintenance products, our representatives
and service centres will be glad to advise.
Z Check at an inconspicuous point whether the cleanser used is suitable for the
surface to be cleaned.
