Cleaning the Solid Surfaces Sink:
Occasionally clean by using Soft Scrub Liquid
Cleanser and a Grey Scotchbrite pad. Scrub the
sink, rinse and towel dry.
Removing Cuts and Scratches:
Solid Surface countertops are completely
renewable. Use the following instructions to
remove minor cuts and scratches.
Sand area starting with 180 grit
sandpaper, working your way up to 2000
grit or until blemish is gone and renewed
nish is achieved.
Never sand in one small area. Feather
out lightly at each increase in sandpaper
grit to blend restoration.
Preventing Heat Damage:
Hot pans and heat-generating appliances, such
as frying pans or crockpots, can damage the
surface. To prevent heat damage, always use a
hot pad or a trivet with rubber feet to protect the
surface.
Other Important Tips:
Avoid exposing the solid surface to chemicals
such as paint removers or oven cleaners. If
these chemicals come in contact with the Solid
Surface, quickly wash with water. Avoid contact
with nail polish or nail polish remover. If
contact is made, quickly wash with water.
NOTE:
DO NOT cut directly on the solid
surface. When pouring boiling water
into the Solid Surface sink, run the cold
water faucet to dilute the excess heat.
Laminate
Clean laminate countertops with a damp
cloth or sponge. Use a spray cleaner to remove
stubborn stains. DO NOT use harsh abrasives,
scouring powders, peroxides or bleaches as
these products may dull or damage the surface.
Avoid contact with dyes, bleaches, and indelible
inks on food packages. DO NOT use laminated
countertops as a cutting board. Laminated
countertops are resistant to minor heat; however,
hot pans, irons, and lit cigarettes will damage
the surface. Use hot pads under pans taken
directly from the stovetop.
STAINLESS STEEL SURFACES
Clean stainless steel once a week with a damp
sponge. Apply stainless steel cleaner/polish
with the grain, not across, using a non-abrasive
cloth or sponge. DO NOT use steel wool, wire
brushes or abrasive sponge pads. These will
mar the nish. Cleaner containing chloride is
not recommended; however, if used, thoroughly
rinse the surface to prevent corrosion. To avoid
water spots, DO NOT allow water to evaporate
on the surface.
WINDOWS
Water Spots:
Glass will develop water spots when not
properly cleaned. Water spots are magni ed on
a re ective nish. Use a squeegee immediately
after washing to reduce water spotting. To
remove stubborn water stains from re ective
glass we recommend Cerium Oxide Polishing
Compound, made by C.R. Lawrence, available
at most glass shops.
Condensation
Condensation occurs from water vapor
present in the air. More vapor is added by
breathing, bathing, cooking, etc. and collects
wherever there is available air space. When the
temperature reaches the dew point, the water
vapor in the air condenses and changes to liquid
form.
Controlling Moisture Condensation:
Reduce or eliminate interior moisture
condensation during cold weather by using the
following steps:
Partially open the roof vents and
windows so that outside air can circulate
into the interior. Increase the ventilation
when large numbers of people are in the
motorhome. Even in raining or snowing
conditions the air outside will be far
drier than interior air.
