Metal Galley Backsplash
The metal interior skin on the galley backsplash is coated with a baked on
acrylic coating. Use soft rags or wash mitts always moving lengthwise with
the grain of the aluminum. NEVER rub hard on the coating. Oil, grease, dust
and dirt may be removed by washing with a 5% solution in water of commonly
used commercial and industrial detergents. Cleaning should be followed by
a thorough clean water rinse. Drying the metal with a chamois or a soft cloth
may prevent spots and streaks. WHEN WASHING OR WAXING THE METAL,
ALWAYS WIPE "WITH" THE GRAIN OF THE METAL.
After cleaning and drying, a good grade of nonabrasive automotive paste or
liquid wax once a year will increase the life of the finish and help remove minor
scratches and abrasions. It will also protect the metal from minor scratches and
make subsequent cleaning easier.
If a substance is found on the coating that cannot be removed by normal wash-
ing procedures, Airstream recommends using DX 330 Acryli-Clean made by
PPG Industries. Follow all directions and warnings on the product container.
Acryli-Clean should be used by trained personnel only, using the proper equip-
ment under controlled conditions. Use the Acryli-Clean as sparingly as possible
to remove oil or grease. Rinse with cool water immediately after use.
NOTICE: ABRASIVE POLISHES OR CLEANING SOLVENTS SUCH AS
AUTOMATIC DISHWASHER OR ACID ETCH CLEANERS ARE TOO STRONG
AND SHOULD NEVER BE USED. RINSE ALL GRIT FROM SURFACE PRIOR
TO WASHING. Use soft rags, always moving lengthwise with the unit. NEVER
rub hard on the coating. Even the softest rag will damage the coating if
excessive pressure is applied.

Upholstery

All materials should be professionally dry cleaned to remove any overall soiled
condition. Spot clean, using a mild water free solvent or dry cleaning product.
DO NOT SATURATE THE FABRIC. Carefully follow instructions on such
products. Clean only in a well-ventilated room. Avoid any product containing
carbon tetrachloride, which is highly toxic. Pretest small area before proceed-
ing. Use a professional furniture cleaner when an overall soiled condition is
reached.
Counter Tops
The counter top is made of Corian and can be cleaned with soap and water, or
you can use a common 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.
