COMPONENT MAINTENANCE
Appliances To care for brushed chrome
we recommend you clean with
a mild soap and water, wipe
dry with soft cloth. Apply a
light coat of oil such as
"Johnson's Baby Oil" peri-
odically.
Various items on these
appliances need to be cleaned
periodically, such as burner
orifices, etc. See individual
booklets for directions or see
your dealer.
On any appliance with porce-
lain covering, use caution to
avoid chipping. Be careful not
to drop items on porcelain
surfaces.
All roofs require maintenance.
Roof
At least two times each year,
inspect all seams: front, rear
and along all moldings for
voids, lifting, peeling or crack-
ing. Reseal as necessary or at
least one time each year. If
you notice any deterioration
in the seal, scrape off any
cracked or loose sealant and
then reseal the area.
Roof Latches Inspect for tightness and dam-
age. Periodically adjust to
maintain tension and replace
when damaged.
AVOID
DO NOT use steel wool, am-
monia, acids, or abrasives on
chrome surfaces.
Excessive snow and ice loads.

COMPONENT MAINTENANCE
Exterior Sealants All sealants used in construc-
tion can deteriorate from U.V.
exposure, air pollution, freez-
ing temperatures and other
exposure to weather elements.
Tape sealants used around
doors, sidewall mounted fix-
tures and extrusions are sub-
ject to dry-out conditions by
sunlight and will allow water
seepage when they deterio-
rate.
Inspect at least two times each
year and look for dried-out,
cracking or peeling conditions.
Reseal as necessary or at least
one time each year. Contact
your dealer for the appropri-
ate sealant to use.
AVOID
Using poor quality sealing
material.
Failure to reseal sealant and
putty tape.
