TIFFIN MOTORHOMES –ALLEGRO RED® Chapter 5 CABINETS & FURNITUREThe countertop (Figure 5-2) may be physically damaged, too, if proper care is not taken. Do not cut anything (e.g.,vegetables, fruits) directly on the countertop; rather, use a cutting board on top of the countertop to provide necessaryprotection to the countertop. Excessive heat may also damage the countertop; therefore, any pots or pans takendirectly from the range or oven should not be placed directly on thecountertop; rather, use trivets or some other form of fireproof heatinsulators to hold very hot pots or pans on the countertop.All drawers are equipped with metal slides to provide additional loadbearingstrength for the drawers and to permit effortless opening andclosing of those drawers, even when they are fully loaded. These metalguides have a slight “locking” action, when closed. To open those drawers,slightly lift up on the drawer handle and then pull the drawer open. Toclose, push the drawer closed until it “clicks” back into place (i.e., thelocking action is engaged). As this cabinetry is typically of furniture-gradequality, any commercial furniture polish or cleaner can be used. Do not tryto soak these wooden surfaces with any water or any other liquid; be sureto wipe up spills or residues of any fluids that contact these surfaces topreclude any staining or discoloration of the cabinet surfaces.Figure 5-2.
