Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after each use: Let the plate cool, then wipe with a soft cloth and warm soapy water. Avoid abrasive sponges to preserve the stainless‑steel finish.
-
Remove food residues promptly: Salt, marinades, or carbonised bits can cause pitting and affect heat distribution over time.
-
Dry thoroughly before storage: Water spots or moisture left on the surface may lead to rust marks or discolouration.
-
Check for warping: Use only on suitable cooktops (e.g., compatible gas ranges) and ensure it sits flat. Uneven contact may reduce performance.
-
Use appropriate heat: While designed for high heat, avoid exposing to open flame larger than the plate’s footprint—excessive direct flame may damage the accessory or surrounding cooktop.
-
Store safely: Place on a stable, dry shelf and avoid stacking heavy objects on top of it to keep its shape and surface integrity.
-
Avoid harsh chemicals: Skip bleach, strong acids, or oven cleaners. These can damage the stainless finish or create surface blemishes.
-
Periodic inspection: Check for small dents or cracks in the plate’s surface—these can harbour food residues or affect usability, and replacing sooner preserves hygiene and safety.
