Maintenance Tips

• Wipe Clean Daily: Clean all surfaces with a soft cloth and mild detergent to remove spills, food residue, and grease.

• Use Non‑Abrasive Materials: Avoid steel wool or harsh scrubbers to protect stainless steel or laminate surfaces from scratches and wear.

• Inspect Hardware Periodically: Check screws, brackets, hinges, and supports; tighten or replace any loose or damaged parts to maintain structural integrity.

• Observe Load Limits: Do not overload shelves or surfaces — exceeding weight capacity can cause bending or damage.

• Dry Thoroughly After Cleaning: Ensure all surfaces are fully dried to prevent moisture buildup, rust, or warping.

• Store in Dry, Ventilated Environment: When not in use, keep the counter in a dry, well‑ventilated area to prevent corrosion and prolong lifespan.
