Countertops
To care properly for the countertops (Figure 13-15) in your new vehicle, always use a heat pad or trivet to protect the
surface from hot objects that may mar or damage the countertop surface. Hot pans and heat-producing appliances
(such as electric skillets), when set directly on top of the countertop, can possibly mar the beauty and finish of the
product.

Accessories
The brass light fixtures, bath accessories, and faucets can be cleaned by wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Washing with
warm water will remove dry water spots. Do not use cleaners that contain harsh or abrasive chemicals. Alcohol or other
similar solvents should never be used.
Detectors
The CO/LP gas combination detector is self-contained and DOES NOT require any
maintenance other than normal cleaning and periodic testing. The smoke detector
installed in the motor home is a nine-volt, battery-operated detector. The CO/LP gas
detector is 12 volt operated.
The batteries in the smoke and CO/LP gas detectors (Figure 13-16) need to be tested
periodically and replaced when necessary (usually semiannually). When cleaning the case
on any of the detectors, use a damp cloth or paper towel. Do not spray cleaners or wax
directly into the case as this action may cause false alarms or hinder the normal operation
of the detectors.

Be sure to use a cutting board, rather than cutting directly on the countertop
surfaces. Although minor scratches and cuts can be repaired, a little care will
assure that the countertop surfaces will keep looking new for years.
Avoid using harsh chemicals on the countertop. Wipe the countertop with a damp
cloth to remove water spots. For most dirt and stains, wipe with a damp cloth and
use soapy water or ammonia-based cleaners (e.g., Windex).
Do not expose the surface to harsh chemicals, such as paint remover, turpentine,
nail polish remover, or any stove and drain cleansers. If these chemicals should
come into contact with the countertop surfaces, immediately wash off these
chemicals, using appropriate safety measures to avoid injury.
