Maintenance Tips 

• Regular Cleaning: After each use, wash the removable parts with warm, soapy water, rinse, and dry thoroughly. Clean the warming surface with a mild detergent and a soft, moist cloth.

• Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Do not use scouring agents, steel wool, or abrasive kitchen cleaners, as they can damage the surface.

• Lid Care: The clear Eastman Tritan™ copolyester rolltop lids are top-rack dishwasher safe.

• Prevent Water Seepage: Ensure that water does not spill or seep into the frame during cleaning.

• Initial Use: Before first use, heat the warming base without food for approximately 10 minutes at maximum setting to seal the special coating. Temporary smoking is normal during initial use.

• Food Placement: Place fully cooked and hot food onto the warming tray. The warming shelf is designed to keep food warm, not to reheat it.

• Storage: When not in use, store the unit in a dry, cool area to prevent rust or damage.

• Inspection: Regularly inspect cords and plugs for wear and tear to ensure safety.
