Maintenance Tips

• Unplug unit before cleaning and allow to cool fully to avoid thermal damage or burns
• Wipe aluminum housing and underside reflector daily with a soft cloth and mild detergent to prevent grease buildup
• Keep heating elements clean and dust-free for consistent infrared output and energy efficiency
• Do not spray water directly or immerse unit—protect electrical components from moisture
• Clean food splash zones regularly to prevent carbon buildup that reduces heat performance
• Check mounting brackets and wire legs periodically to ensure secure, level installation
• Inspect control knob (infinite control) weekly for smooth operation and stable heat adjustment
• Remove nearby grease vapor buildup (hood/ambient area) to reduce fire risk and maintain efficiency
• Use only non-abrasive cleaners to preserve aluminum finish and extend equipment lifespan
• Schedule periodic deep cleaning to maintain consistent heat distribution across the full 36"
