Smoking Warning
Keep your furniture and family safe from fires
caused by careless smoking. Do not smoke
when drowsy. Remove immediately any flowing
ash or a lighted cigarette which falls on
furniture.
Smoldering smoking material can cause
upholstered furniture fires.
All drapery materials and mattress covers
must be professionally dry cleaned.
Use the following procedure to remove drapery
panels for cleaning.
1 . Front lounge, both roadside and curbside
-
unsnap the dot fasteners holding the
lower and the upper front and rear corners
to the outer wall. Slide drapery panels to the
rear until they are completely free of both
tracks.
2. Front wrap around drapes
-
first remove
rearmost lounge panels; see step 1 above.
Unsnap dot fastener holding the corners of
the curbside and roadside wraparound
panels to the outer trailer walls. Slide the
drapery panels to the rear until they are
compleley free of upper tracks. Continue to
slide to the rear until they are also free of
lower tracks.
3. Side bedroom windows, both roadside and
curbside
-
unsnap the dot fasteners holding
the lower and upper front and rear corner to
the outer wall. Remove drapery panels by
sliding them clear of both upper and lower
track.
On some models the dot fastener may be held
to the end of the track with a screw and must
be removed before removing drapes. After
replacing drapes, reinstall any dot fasteners
which have been removed.
The carpet can be cleaned with any good
commercial carpet cleaner, or with a detergent
and water. Be careful not to soak the carpet
with water, however.
The counter areas around the sink are of a
high-pressure laminate and can be cleaned
with soap and water, or you can use a common
cleaning solvent on tough spots. Be sure no
abrasive cleaner is used as there is the
possibility it could scratch the surface. A
protective pad should always be placed under
hot utensils.
The walls can be cleaned with any vinyl cleaner
or with any mild household detergent and
water. But, again, no abrasives.
The high-pressure laminate wood of the
wardrobes and cabinets may be waxed, if
desired, or may be cleaned simply with a
damp cloth.
See the bathroom section for cleaning and
maintenance suggestions for the ABS plastic
surfaces.
