Maintenance Tips
- Clean the glass-ceramic heating surface daily using a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaner to prevent grease buildup and surface damage.
- Wipe spills immediately during operation to avoid burnt residue and maintain fast, consistent heat response.
- Keep air intake and exhaust vents clear of dust, grease, and nearby equipment to ensure proper cooling and prevent overheating shutdowns.
- Use only compatible flat-bottom, induction-rated cookware (cast iron or magnetic stainless steel) for safe and efficient heating.
- Avoid running the unit empty, as high-power induction cycles can stress internal components and reduce service life.
- Do not use abrasive pads, bleach, or harsh chemical cleaners on the glass or stainless-steel housing.
- Allow the internal cooling fan to complete its cycle before switching off or unplugging the unit.
- Regularly inspect power cords and connections for wear to ensure safe commercial kitchen operation.
