Maintenance Tips

• Regular 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 abrasive cleaners to maintain the finish.

• Ensure the 9" cast iron burner is free from spills and residue to maintain optimal heat transfer.

• Proper Ventilation

• Maintain at least 4 inches of clearance between the hot plate and any rear or side walls to prevent excessive heat buildup.

• Place the appliance on a stable, heat-resistant surface to ensure safety during operation.
