Be
sure
the
surface is as dust-free
as

Door &
Window
Re-Sealing
Inspect
the
sealants around
windows
and doors at
least every three months.
If
any
of
the
following
defects are evident during inspection,
the
affected
areas
must
be
resealed:
• Excessive
amount
of sealant protruding
from
joints
.,
Sealant cracked
or
peeling
• Voids in sealant
NOTE: Do
not
seal
the
bottom
flanges of
windows
and doors. Two sealant voids have been intentionally
left
in
the
bottom
flange sealant
to
provide exterior
drainage in
the
event
of
leakage.
If
you
find
any
of
the
above defects:
1.
Use a plastic scraper
to
remove excess sealant.

to
be
resealed
are
absolutely dry before
new
sealant is applied.
INTERIOR
Upholstery & Drapes
Professionally dry clean only. Frequent vacuuming
or
light
brushing between cleanings
will
help prevent
accumulation of
dirt
and grime. Use of water-based
or detergent-based cleaners may cause shrinking.
Water stains may become permanent.
WARNING:
DO
NOT USE LACQUER THINNER, NAIL POLISH
REMOVER, CARBON TETRACHLORIDE, SPOT
REMOVER, GASOLINE,
OR
NAPTHA
FOR
ANY
CLEANING PURPOSE. THESE PRODUCTS MAY
CAUSE DAMAGE
TO
THE MATERIAL BEING
CLEANED, AND
ARE
HIGHLY FLAMMABLE.
Wall & Ceiling Panels
The paneling and the ceiling of your
motor
home
may
be
any
of
several finishes and textures. Never use
harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners on walls or
ceilings.
Most
surfaces
will
clean
with
a
soft
cloth
moistened
with
mild liquid detergent in
warm
water.
Do
not
use large amounts
of
water
which
could
saturate
the
material.
Floors & Carpeting
Vinyl flooring requires only washing and periodic
waxing. Vacuum carpeting regularly, and clean
it
with
a
quality
carpet cleaner.
Decorative Glass
Clean decorative glass
with
a mild glass cleaner
only. The decorative material is a polymer, and
will
be
damaged by ketones, alcohols, lacquer thinners,
abrasives,
or
strong detergents. Never use these
substances
to
clean
the
decorative glass. Dampen a
clean,
soft
cloth
with
the glass cleaner. Avoid spraying
the
glass
directly
with
the
cleaner solution. Wipe
the
surface
dry
with
a second clean cloth. Do
not
leave
the
cleaner on
the
glass surface
for
more
than
five
minutes. The etch
or
frosted
effect
will
disappear
temporarily
when
wet, and
will
reappear
when
dry.
