Maintenance Tips
-
Clean After Each Use: Wipe down the induction surface and exterior with a soft cloth dampened in warm water and mild, non‑abrasive detergent. Do not use steel wool or abrasive pads to avoid damaging the surface.
-
Keep Surface Dry: After cleaning, ensure the induction surface and surrounding areas are fully dry before powering on to prevent electrical issues or malfunction.
-
Use Proper Cookware: Only use induction‑compatible pans recommended by the manufacturer — cookware with flat, clean bases ensures efficient heating and protects the surface.
-
Check Ventilation: Ensure vents and air‑flow paths are clear of debris; blocked vents can lead to overheating or reduced performance.
-
Inspect Electrical Components: Periodically check power cords, plugs and controls for signs of wear or damage; replace or repair promptly to maintain safety and reliability.
-
Avoid Overheating and Overloading: Do not leave the unit heating empty or unattended for long periods; this protects internal components and prolongs lifespan.
