CABINETS & FURNITUREIn the kitchen, a color-coordinated countertop (Figure 5-2) is provided on top of the floor-mounted cabinets.To maintain the appearance of the countertop, clean with a damp cloth. If spotting occurs, clean thecountertop with a damp cloth and a mild liquid soap. Should some dried-on residue still persist, let a dampcloth moistened with the liquid cleaner stand directly on top of that residue for 15-30 minutes to loosen theresidue, then clean that spot accordingly. Please note that strong chemicals, solvents, and cleaners (e.g., ovencleaner) may damage the surface; so do not use any products not specifically designed for countertop cleaning.The countertop 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 providenecessary protection to the countertop. Excessive heat may also damage the countertop; therefore, any pots orpans taken directly from the range or oven should not be placed directly on the countertop; rather, use trivetsor some other form of fireproof heat insulators to hold very hot pots or pans on the countertop.All drawers are equipped with metal slides to provide additional load-bearing strength for the drawers and topermit effortless opening and closing of those drawers, even when they are fully loaded. These metal guideshave a slight “locking” action, when closed. To open those drawers, slightly lift up on the drawer handle andthen pull the drawer open. To close, push the drawer closed until it “clicks” back into place (i.e., the lockingaction is engaged).As this cabinetry is typically of furniture-grade quality, any commercial furniture polish or cleaner can be used.Do not try to soak these wooden surfaces with any water or any other liquid; be sure to wipe up spills orresidues of any fluids that contact these surfaces to preclude any staining or discoloration of the cabinetsurfaces.FurnitureKitchen, Dining, & Living Room AreasOn all the various floor plans of the Allegro Bay, either a built-indinette booth (Figures 5-3,4) or a free-standing table (Figure 5-6)is provided. This dinette provides additional storage under theseat area of the booth, in addition to providing additional sleepingfacilities.

Remove the seat cushions.Figure 5-3. Dinette Booth Table2. Remove the wooden fill blocks.3. Fold the table leg upwards while slightly lifting the table,then allow the table to swing down and rest between thetwo booth seats; thus, forming the bed.4. A “filler strip” (Figure 5-5) is attached to the seat portion(via a long Velcro strip) of the sofa. Simply pull these twopieces apart. The filler strip can be conveniently storedFigure 5-4.
