Allegro Bay Owner's Manual - Tiffin Motorhomes

ROUTINE MAINTENANCEAvoid using harsh chemicals on the countertop. Wipe the countertop with a damp cloth to removewater spots. For most dirt and stains, wipe with a damp cloth and use soapy water or glass cleaner(e.g., Windex).Do not expose the surface to harsh chemicals, such as paint remover, turpentine, nail polishremover, or any stove and drain cleansers. If these chemicals should come into contact with thecountertop surfaces, immediately wash off these chemicals, using appropriate safety measures toavoid injury.AccessoriesThe various metallic light fixtures (Figure 14-14), bath accessories, and faucets can becleaned by wiping with a soft, damp cloth. Washing with warm water will removedry water spots.Do not use cleaners that contain harsh or abrasive chemicals. Alcohol or othersimilar solvents should never be used.DetectorsThe CO/LP gas detectors are self-contained and DO NOT require any maintenance other than normalcleaning and periodic testing. The smoke detector installed in the motor home is a nine-volt, batteryoperateddetector. The CO/LP gas detector uses three AA batteries for its operation.The batteries in the smoke and CO/LP gas detectors need to be tested periodically and replaced whennecessary (usually semiannually). When cleaning the case on any of the detectors, use a damp cloth orpaper towel. Do not spray cleaners or wax directly into the case as this action may cause false alarms orhinder the normal operation of the detectors.An inexpensive battery tester, available from any local electronics retailer, would be a good investment tomake. This tester would allow checking of the batteries in the various alarms, any flashlights used in themotor home, and batteries in other appliances (e.g., portable radios, MP3 players, CD players, PDAs, andvarious electronic games) which may be in the motor home during travels.CondensationFigure 14-14.
