MAINTENANCE
cloth/sponge, followed by a rinse with clean
water to remove any residues and dry with a
soft cloth. When cleaning with anything other
than water, be careful not to get the solution
onto your kitchen worktop.
Scratching will be most noticeable on highly
polished components. These marks are usually
only superficial and can be removed with a
proprietary stainless steel cleaner/polish. If the
surface has a directional polished grain always
clean along the grain and not across it.
Always avoid bleach and trigger dispense
products and never use wire wool or leave wet
cloths, pads or containers on the surface as
they may form water marks.
To preserve the appearance of your
appliance we recommend not to store
plastic bowls or mats in the sink. This
is particularly the case when travelling
because vehicle movement may cause
the plastic bowl to vibrate/rub against
the surface and leave marks.
cleaning tapS
Clean and wipe with a soft soapy sponge, then
rinse and wipe dry. Do not use an abrasive
cleaner, scouring pad, powder or wire wool to
clean the tap and shower mixer. Do not use
any de-scaling agent.
If you live in a hard water area, limescale may
build up around the spout of your tap. Clean
this off with either lemon juice or vinegar. Do
not attempt to remove this with either a knife
or any other sharp implement as this will
damage the surface.
cleaning tecnoform locker doorS and
worktopS
Wipe the doors with a soft, slightly damp cloth
(not wet) and then dry them with a dry cloth.
Worktops can be wiped with a wet cloth and
are more resistant to water than the locker
doors.
Petrol, thinners, abrasive products,
chemically treated cloths and
detergents may damage doors and
should not be used.
how to prevent condenSation
Condensation is the change of water from its
gaseous form (water droplets) into its liquid
form. Condensation generally occurs in the
atmosphere when warm air rises, cools and
loses its capacity to hold water vapour. As a
result, excess water vapour condenses to form
droplets.
Condensation normally occurs in the winter
when the motorhome is cold and skylights,
windows and doors are opened less often; this
means that moist air cannot escape.
It is important to try and provide ventilation
so that moist air can escape and to use the
heating responsibly.
Provide ventilation so that warm air can
escape:
• Opening a window to provide good
ventilation of kitchens when washing,
cooking or drying damp cloths is essential.
• If it is not possible to use the space heater,
open the skylights or windows slightly but
keep the main door closed as much as
possible.
• After showering, keep the bathroom door
closed and the window or the skylight open
long enough for the room to dry.
prepare your motorhome for cold
conditionS
Your motorhome is fully climatized having
achieved the BS EN 1646-1:2004+A1:2008
standard climatic testing to Grade 3 standard.
• Make sure that all plumbing pipes, drains,
and water supply appliances within the
motorhome are properly drained.
• Try to cover as much as possible the
underside of the motorhome to prevent
snow from collecting and packing up
underneath. This will help to prevent
damage to the tyres due to the weather.
Storing your motorhome
The following applies whenever your
motorhome is stored, particularly during
winter months.
• Do not leave your vehicle near trees or
latch-type gates due to possible wind
