Maintenance Tips
-
Empty and clean the wells after every use with warm water and a mild, food‑safe detergent to prevent food residue buildup and bacterial growth.
-
Descale periodically, especially in hard-water areas, using a stainless-steel–safe descaling solution to maintain heating efficiency.
-
Wipe down exterior stainless-steel surfaces daily with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner; dry thoroughly to prevent water spots or corrosion.
-
Keep water in the wells when hot-holding; operating without water can damage heating elements.
-
Use food pans of appropriate depth and avoid placing hot items directly on the top surface to protect the unit and ensure proper function.
-
Inspect drains, valves, seals, and gaskets regularly to clear blockages and ensure all fittings are secure, preventing leaks or malfunctions.
