Care And Maintenance - NewMar ventana 2017 Owner's Manual

If your unit is equipped with an optional pull out "island," the cabinet will pull completely free of the kitchen cabinetry and
can be moved throughout the unit on the attached casters. When storing the island, it will roll back over a stop, and the
front caster locks will inhibit their movement.
The optional pull out kitchen extension/island MUST be secured back into their stored position in the kitchen
cabinetry prior to travel. Failure to lock the island or extension prior to transit can cause damage to the
cabinetry and interior of your unit, and under certain circumstances, injury or death.
Pull Out Bathroom Step
The bathroom may feature a pull out step or storage bin in the bottom of the lavatory cabinet. This convenient step
provides younger children with better access to the sink and mirror. The hinged top provides a platform on which they can
stand, while still allowing for storage underneath.

Care and Maintenance

Controlling the coach environment is the first priority of cabinet care and maintenance. Wood products shrink and grow
according to the environment in which they are placed. These changes are in direct relationship to the relative humidity
levels. As the humidity increases, the wood expands, and as the humidity decreases, the wood shrinks. This process
does not happen instantaneously, as the longer the wood is exposed to low humidity, the more it will shrink as it dries out,
and visa versa.
Coach owners who travel around the country may be more prone to this issue, as their coach is exposed to both extreme
humidity and extreme dryness. It is necessary to acknowledge the fact that wood changes according its environment.
Newmar recommends maintaining relative humidity levels between the range of 35-50 percent and temperature levels
between the range of 40-90 degrees. The air conditioner or a dehumidifier will reduce the humidity level; however in dry
climates, a humidifier may also aid in maintaining the appropriate humidity levels by raising the humidity level.
Hardwoods may change color or darken when exposed to sunlight. It is important that the window shades be
down during long periods of storage. Changing shades of color, or discoloration, from exposure to sunlight is
not a warrantable repair, as it is the nature of the hardwood products in your coach.
The wood cabinetry should be dusted and wiped down with furniture polish as needed to sustain the natural beauty and
luster of the wood.
As with any wood product, do not saturate these cabinets with water or any other liquid. Be sure to wipe up
spills as they occur to avoid staining.
Ceiling
The ceiling in your coach may be covered with a padded vinyl ceiling headliner.
Care and Maintenance
The ceiling coverings should be cleaned periodically to maintain a new appearance. Use a non-abrasive cleaner with a
soft cloth. Do not use solvents of any kind, as they may damage the surface.
