Pantry or Hutch (if so equipped)
Your recreation vehicle may have a pantry or hutch that you can use for storage. Make sure
all items stored in the pantry or hutch are secured to prevent shifting during travel. This
cabinetry has been designed to accommodate the normal camping items which may be bulky
but not necessarily heavy.
If your pantry or hutch has sliding pantry shelves, they have been equipped with a locking
mechanism to keep them in place during transit. To secure the shelf in place, push it all of
the way in until the latch tab clicks into place. Always pull out slightly on the shelf to make
sure that it is stationary and secure in the transit position. To release the shelf, push in on the
tab and pull the shelf slowly towards you.
Your RV’s load capacity is designated by weight, not by volume, so you can-
not necessarily use all available space when loading the vehicle. Do not ex-
ceed your GVWR and ensure you are loading the vehicle as evenly as you can
for the best possible handling. Ensure heavy items are secured so they do not
shift during travel.
Countertops
Always use hot pads or trivets under hot pans, dishes, or heat producing appli-
ances.
Use a cutting board to prevent unnecessary damage to the countertops. Do not cut
directly on the solid surface countertop.
Avoid harsh chemicals such as drain cleaners, oven cleaners, etc.
Do not let cleaners with bleach set on the top. Wipe them o promptly.
For additional information on the removal of dicult stains or surface damage repair, refer
to the countertop manufacturer’s user guide.
Your recreation vehicle may be equipped with one or both of the following countertops.
Glass rings, food spills, water spots and smudges usually wipe o with a damp sponge.
Stubborn stains can be removed with a general-purpose spray cleaner. Some stains can be
removed by squeezing fresh lemon juice over the stain and allowing the juice to soak for ap-
proximately forty-ve minutes. After 45 minutes, sprinkle baking soda over the lemon juice
and rub with a soft cloth.
Soapy water, ammonia based cleaners (not window cleaners as they can leave a waxy build
up that may dull the surface) or commercially available solid surface cleaners will remove
most dirt and residue from all types of nishes. A damp cloth followed by a dry towel will
remove watermarks.
Dicult stains can be removed from the matte nish with a green Scotch Brite® pad and a
mild abrasive cleaner. Disinfect the surface periodically with diluted household bleach (one
part water to one part bleach).
For cuts and scratches, sand the matte nish lightly with (220) ne grit sandpaper until the
cut or scratch is gone. Restore nish with a green Scotch Brite
pad and mild abrasive
cleaner.
