Maintenance Tips

• Empty and wash food wells daily with warm water and mild detergent to prevent buildup and maintain sanitation.

• Descale periodically, especially if using hard water, to preserve heating efficiency and water flow.

• Wipe exterior surfaces with a soft cloth and non‑abrasive cleaner to protect the stainless‑steel finish.

• Allow unit to cool and unplug before cleaning to avoid damage to heating elements and electrical components.

• Avoid abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals — these can scratch or corrode surfaces.

• Check and clean drain assemblies and valves regularly to prevent clogs or leaks.

• Inspect gaskets, seals, and draining seals occasionally to ensure proper sealing and prevent water leakage.
