• Clean and inspect door gasket regularly to maintain proper heat retention and energy efficiency
• Avoid blocking airflow gaps and side vents to ensure uniform Halo Heat performance
• Check and tighten casters and mounting hardware periodically for safe mobility and stability
• Remove food spills immediately to prevent odor buildup and surface staining
• Keep temperature controls and indicators clean for accurate monitoring and operation
• Inspect power cord and plug routinely for wear or damage in high-traffic kitchens
• Schedule annual preventive maintenance to verify thermostat accuracy and heating element performance
