Maintenance Tips

• Power off and unplug before cleaning: Always switch off and disconnect the unit before wiping or touching any surfaces.

• Use gentle cleaning methods: Wipe the exterior and interior surfaces (including the induction top) with a soft cloth or sponge and mild detergent; avoid abrasive pads, steel wool, or aggressive chemical cleaners that might scratch or damage surfaces.

• Dry thoroughly after cleaning: After wiping down, use a soft towel to dry all surfaces completely — especially the induction top — to prevent watermarks, corrosion, or electrical issues.

• Avoid moisture contact with controls and electronics: Never spray water directly onto control panels, cords or vents; clean only with damp cloths. Ensure no liquid seeps into the unit.

• Inspect regularly: Check periodically for signs of wear — loose knobs, damaged cords/plugs, scratches or damages on the induction surface, and signs of corrosion. Attend to any issues immediately.

• Avoid overheating and misuse: Use the unit only for its intended purpose (warming, holding). Do not place oversized or overly heavy pots/pans on the induction surface; avoid dry-heating — always have compatible cookware.

• Maintain ventilation and spacing: Ensure sufficient clearance around the unit to allow air circulation, especially during operation, to avoid overheating and prolong the life of internal components.

• Store properly when not in use: If not in use for extended periods, unplug, clean thoroughly, dry completely and store in a dry, ventilated location to prevent moisture damage or corrosion.
