Maintenance Tips  

• Initial Use: Before first use, run both burners on high for 10 minutes to burn off protective coating. A light odor or smoke is normal.

• Daily Cleaning: Always unplug and allow the unit to cool completely. Wipe stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth and mild detergent—never use abrasives or steel wool.

• Cast Iron Element Care: Do not immerse burners in water. Clean with a dry brush or wipe lightly with a damp cloth if needed—never use excessive moisture.

• Avoid Spills: Prevent liquids or food from boiling over onto the heating elements. Spills can cause staining or damage.

• Proper Cookware: Use cookware that matches the 7.5" diameter of the cast iron elements. Avoid using pans that exceed this size to ensure even heating and prevent overloading.

• Ventilation Clearance: Maintain a clearance of at least 4 inches around the unit to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.

• Safe Storage: After cooling, store in a dry place. Avoid stacking heavy items on top
