Cleaning Instructions

Clean the Carry-On occasionally to keep it looking new and
operating properly. Be sure to unplug the Carry-On before
cleaning.
Cleaning the Air Filter
Remove filter (see Figure 4.) Gently wash by hand in a
solution of mild soap and warm fresh water. Allow water to
drain and reinstall. Extra filters may be ordered from your
dealer.
Cleaning the Cabinet
Wash with mild soap and fresh water. For tougher stains or
scuffs, SOFT SCRUB ® may be used. Though Carry-On is
designed for adverse conditions, do not intentionally spray
water directly into air slots.
Care of Hatch Bag and
Storage Cover
*
The Hatch Bag and Storage Cover are made out of a fabric
called SUNBRELLA, and should be cleaned regularly before
substances such as dirt, dust, etc. are allowed to accumulate
on it and become embedded in the fabric.
Regular Cleaning: The fabric can be cleaned by simply
brushing it off with a clean brush. It may also be hosed down
and cleaned with a mild solution of a natural soap such as
LUX ® or IVORY LIQUID ® in lukewarm water (not to exceed
100° F.) Rinse thoroughly to remove soap. Do not use
detergents!
For more stubborn cases: You may soak the Hatch Bag or
the Storage Cover for approximately twenty minutes in a
solution of no more than 1/2 cup (4 oz./118 ml) CLOROX
and 1/4 cup (2 oz./59 ml ) IVORY or LUX SOAP per gallon of
warm water. Rinse thoroughly in cold water to remove all of
the soap.
NOTE: Excessive soaking in CLOROX can deteriorate sewing
threads. This method of cleaning may remove part of the
water repellency and the fabric should receive an application
of a marine water repellent treatment such as 10174779 West
Marine Pure Oceans NanoTec Waterproofing Protectant.
* The Storage Cover is an optional accessory which was intended to
cover the entire Carry-On and help protect it from dirt and dust while
being stored away from the boat.

Storing Instructions

The Carry-On Hatch Bag and Storage Cover should be
cleaned, allowed to dry and stored in a dry, well-ventilated
area.
When storing the Carry-On unit for long periods of time, it is
advisable to purchase the Storage Cover (accessory), cover
it with plastic or return it to the original carton. STORE IN
OPERATING POSITION in a dry place. These precautions will
prevent the accumulation of dust and airborne particles from
lowering the efficiency of future performance or necessitating
more frequent cleaning.
