Interior
5-4 2020 Interstate
CAUTION
Applying wax to the base of the shower oor is
not recommended, as this could create an unsafe
surface.
Telephone Shower Head
The telephone shower head is designed to give
maximum exibility in usage, and provides for water-
saving techniques when using your touring coach on
self-containment� It can be held in the hand and moved
about the body� Normally, the best water conservation
procedure is to wet the entire body and then turn the
water off� Apply soap, lather thoroughly, and then rinse
the soap off�
Retractable Clothesline
A retractable clothesline and line hook is installed for
your convenience in the shower stall�
Toilet
The touring coach toilet in your Airstream is a design
that has been used for many years�
To ush, press the foot pedal, holding the pedal down
until all solids have cleared� To add water press the
pedal halfway� When you wish to conserve water, hold
the hand-spray head over the bowl and hold down the
thumb-operated lever� When depressing the pedal, all
the water is routed through the hand-spray�
NOTE
When you dump the bowl of the toilet, make
sure all paper and solids have cleared the slide
mechanism before you allow it to close. Failure
to do so can cause the groove for the slide to
become jammed and the slide will no longer close
completely.
Please see the toilet owner’s/user manual for warranty
and user tips, and maintenance information�
Sinks
Cleaning can be accomplished using a mild liquid
detergent on a soft cloth� A complete home owner’s
guide for your sinks is supplied in your owner’s packet�
Please read these instructions before use�
Vinyl Flooring
General Cleaning
Use a soft broom to sweep the oor. A vacuum cleaner
may damage the ooring, especially the type that use
beater bars� In most cases, a clean damp cloth or mop
will sufce to clean dirty ooring. When necessary, a
solution of mild detergent or domestic oor cleaning
emulsion can be used to clean the ooring. Do not use
a wire brush or nylon scouring pads, furniture polish,
spirit-based polish, powder or liquid abrasive cleaners,
bleach or other strong detergents� Scuffs, dirt, and
spillages should be cleaned up as soon as possible�
Rubber backing on doormats may result in yellow
discoloration of the oor immediately beneath. Choose
a natural ber mat. Rubber feet on furniture may cause
staining� Remove them altogether or place coasters or
felt pads between them and the oor.
Polishing the Flooring
Cushioned oors that have an additional protective
coating such as Beauor Premium Protect, Multi
Protect and Ultragrip, do not normally require polish�
Other oors (Bartoli/Lioni) will require polishing to
protect the oor’s surface from staining agents and
give a surface shine� For these, apply a liquid emulsion
oor polish immediately after installation and thereafter
at 6 to 12 monthly intervals as required� Always follow
the manufacturer’s instructions when using a oor
polish or cleaner and ensure it is suitable for use with
cushioned vinyl ooring.
Wet Bath
To clean your berglass shower stall unit, use warm
water and a liquid detergent� Do not use abrasive
cleaners; they may scratch and dull the surface of your
berglass unit. Stubborn stains can be removed with
solvents such as turpentine, paint thinner, or acetone�
Restore dulled areas by rubbing with an automotive-
type liquid cleaner, and then put the soft glow back
into the sides of your unit with a light application of
liquid wax� DO NOT wax the shower bottom as it may
become slippery leading to a fall�
