Maintenance Tips
- Unplug unit and allow full cool-down before cleaning to prevent burns and bulb damage
- Wipe reflector hood, clamp, and frame daily with soft cloth + mild detergent to remove grease and maintain heat efficiency
- Keep infrared bulb clean and dust-free for maximum heat output and consistent food holding
- Never spray water or immerse unit—moisture can damage sockets, wiring, and electrical components
- Clean food splash and grease buildup regularly to prevent smoking and reduced infrared performance
- Inspect clamp mechanism and tightening screw often to ensure secure, stable mounting on counter edges
- Check bulb condition frequently; replace immediately if dim, flickering, or broken (250W infrared bulb standard)
- Ensure power cord and plug are not frayed and kept away from hot or wet surfaces
- Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can scratch aluminum hood and reduce reflective efficiency
- Tighten hood and socket screws periodically if looseness affects stability or heat direction
