Maintenance Tips

• Initial Use: Before the first use, heat the appliance without a pot for approximately 10 minutes at the maximum setting. This process allows the special element coating to seal and may produce temporary smoke, which is normal. 

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, unplug the hot plate and allow it to cool completely. Wipe the stainless steel housing with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid using abrasives or steel wool to prevent surface damage.

• Burner Care: For coiled element models, clean the elements by gripping them at the point opposite where they enter the drip pan and tilting them up. Ensure no liquids or food particles enter the housing, as this can void the warranty. 

• Safety Precautions: Always unplug the hot plate when not in use. Ensure the unit is placed on a level surface during operation and avoid using pans that overhang the element by more than 1 inch to maintain stability. 

• Storage: Store the hot plate in a dry, cool place. Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew growth.
