• Maintain ventilation: Ensure the area beneath and around the shelf stays clear of debris to support proper airflow and consistent heat distribution.

• Professional servicing only: There are no user‑serviceable internal parts — contact qualified Hatco technicians for any repairs to ensure safety and preserve warranty.
