Maintenance Tips    

• Daily cleaning: Wipe aluminum frame and tray slides with mild detergent and warm water; avoid harsh or acidic cleaners that damage anodized aluminum finishes.
• Sanitize properly: Use food-safe, aluminum-compatible sanitizer to maintain NSF hygiene standards.
• Caster care: Inspect 5" swivel casters regularly; remove debris, clean wheels, and ensure smooth rolling to prevent strain during transport.
• Lubrication check: Lightly oil moving caster bearings if movement becomes stiff; avoid over-lubrication that attracts dirt.
• Load management: Do not exceed 5-platter capacity or overload shelves to prevent frame stress and alignment issues.
• Dry after wash: Always air-dry or wipe dry to prevent water spots and maintain corrosion resistance (even though aluminum is rust-resistant).
• Routine inspection: Check weld points, slide rails, and caster bolts monthly for loosening or wear.
• Storage tip: Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent buildup of grease, moisture, or food residue.
