STAINLESS STEEL SURFAcES

Stainless steel can be easily damaged by
improper cleaners. For example: many liquid
cleansers designed to be gentle on smooth
surfaces will damage stainless steel. Only use
the methods outlined below, and always follow
the directions that come with the cleaner
(usually located on the bottle).
General Cleaning:
Use warm, soapy water and dry with a

soft, clean cloth.
For Heavy Soiling:
Only use a stainless steel cleaner

designed specifically for appliances.
Follow all directions from the

manufacturer of the cleaner.
DO NOT USE:
Abrasive powders or cleaners

Citrus-based cleaners

Ammonia

Steel wool pads

Abrasive cloths

Oven cleansers

Acidic or vinegar based cleaners

CAUTION
Citric acid permanently discolors
stainless steel. Immediately remove
the following items from stainless
steel surfaces: mustard, tomato juice,
marinara sauce and citrus-based
sauces or products.
CAUTION
DO NOT cut directly on the stainless
steel surface.


WINDOWS

Water Spots:
Glass will develop water spots when not
properly cleaned. Water spots are magnified on
a reflective finish. Use a squeegee immediately
after washing to reduce water spotting. To
remove stubborn water stains from reflective
glass we recommend Cerium Oxide Polishing
Compound, made by C.R. Lawrence, available
at most glass shops.

WINDOW TREATMENTS

Mini-Blinds

Dusting:
Regular dusting will maintain the appearance
of the mini-blinds. Keep aluminum blinds
looking their best by periodically wiping with
a soft cloth or a dusting mitt. By tilting the
slats down, not quite closed, most of the top
surface of each slat can be cleaned. Blinds may
be cleaned while hanging in place using this
method.
Vacuuming:
For deeper cleaning, vacuum gently with the
soft brush attachment of a vacuum cleaner.
Compressed Air or Hair Dryer (non-heat
setting):
Blow dust off each slat. Dust will be
air-borne using this method so ventilate the
motorhome.
Spot-Cleaning:
Spot-clean shades and blinds using a soft
cloth or a moistened sponge with lukewarm
water. Add mild detergent, if needed.
Blot gently to avoid creasing. In a dusty
environment the blinds may need to be
regularly cleaned using a sponge or dampened
soft cloth. Use warm (not hot) water and a
mild detergent that does not contain abrasives.
Rinse the blinds using a clean cloth and water
to prevent water spots. Place a towel directly
under the blinds to absorb water that may drip.
Ultrasonic cleaning:
Professional ultrasonic cleaning may be
preferred.

Day/Night Shades

Leave Day/Night shades in the up position
when not in use to help the shades hold their
shape.
Tension Adjustment:
Tension should be adjusted if the shades are
loose or there is excessive vibration. A button
is located on the bottom of the shade at each
end. Two lines on each side of the shade are
threaded through the button and tied off.
Pull the tied-off

lines through the
button to increase
tension. Leave
some slack so the
shades are not too
tight.
Tie the lines off at the new position.

Adjust each side equally.
Operate the shades to ensure tension is

set correctly and equally on both sides.
Trim excess line from both sides if

desired.
