• Use non-abrasive cleaners only: Protect stainless steel finish and avoid corrosion or surface damage.
• Keep wells clean & debris-free: Remove grease and spills promptly to maintain even radiant heat performance.
• Check thermostats regularly: Ensure independent controls maintain correct holding temperatures for each pan zone.
• Preheat before loading food: Stabilizes heat distribution and improves food quality retention.
• Inspect electrical components: Periodically check wiring, control boxes, and connections for safe operation.
• Avoid harsh tools/chemicals: No steel wool or chlorine-based cleaners to extend equipment lifespan.
