TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO <strong>RED</strong>® Chapter 13 ROUTINE MAINTENANCECountertopsTo care properly for the countertops (Figure 13-18) in your new vehicle,always use a heat pad or trivet to protect the surface from hot objects thatmay mar or damage the countertop surface. Hot pans and heat-producingappliances (such as electric skillets), when set directly on top of thecountertop, can possibly mar the beauty and finish of the product.Figure 13-18. Kitchen Cabinetry andCountertopAdditionally, since heat-producing appliances can also damage countertopseams, it is essential to check with <strong>Tiffin</strong> <strong>Motorhomes</strong> to identify seamlocations to avoid them during subsequent use of the motor home.Although solid surfacing is repaired easily, certain steps should be taken toprotect it.Be sure to use a cutting board, rather than cutting directly on the countertop surfaces. Although minor scratches andcuts can be repaired, a little care will assure that the countertop surfaces will keep looking new for years. Avoid usingharsh chemicals on the countertop. Wipe the countertop with a damp cloth to remove water spots. For most dirt andstains, wipe with a damp cloth and use soapy water or ammonia-based cleaners (e.g., Windex). If a stain doesn’trespond to soap and water, for a matte finish, apply an abrasive cleanser and buff it with a Scotch-Brite pad, using acircular motion. Use the same technique in the case of a cigarette burn. If the finish is a gloss finish, please contact thedealer for specific cleaning instructions.Do not expose the surface to harsh chemicals, such as paint remover, turpentine, nail polish remover, or any stove anddrain cleansers. If these chemicals should come into contact with the countertop surfaces, immediately wash off thesechemicals, using appropriate safety measures to avoid injury.In the event of subsequent staining or spotting, sand the affected surface lightly with fine sandpaper(400 grit or finer), then buff in a circular motion with a Scotch-Brite pad.AccessoriesThe metallic light fixtures (Figure 13-19), bath accessories, and faucets can be cleaned bywiping with a soft, damp cloth. Washing with warm water will remove dry water spots. Polishingthose fixtures with a soft cloth will also enhance their appearance.Do not use cleaners that contain harsh or abrasive chemicals. Alcohol or other similar solventsshould never be used.Figure 13-19. LightFixture13-32
