Q&A
Maintenance Tips
- Clean the stainless-steel and polycarbonate well daily using a soft cloth and mild detergent to prevent grease and food residue buildup.
- Wipe spills immediately during service to maintain hygiene and ensure consistent temperature holding performance.
- Keep air vents, control housings, and surrounding cut-out areas free of dust and grease to ensure proper cooling and prevent overheating.
- Ensure only induction-compatible pans are used, and confirm proper seating for accurate pan detection and efficient energy transfer.
- Avoid abrasive pads, steel wool, or harsh chemicals that can damage the stainless and polycarbonate surfaces.
- Do not operate the unit empty, as dry operation can stress internal induction components.
- Allow the unit to cool and complete any internal fan cycle before switching off or cleaning.
- Regularly inspect power cords, plugs, and electrical connections for wear to ensure safe commercial kitchen operation.
