Maintenance Tips

Before first use, operate the hot plate without cookware at maximum setting for approximately 10 minutes to allow the special element coating to seal. Temporary smoking during this process is normal. 

• Regular Cleaning:

• After Each Use: Once the unit has cooled, wipe the heating elements and surrounding surfaces with a clean, damp cloth. Use mild detergent if necessary. Avoid immersing the unit in water or allowing water to enter the heating element areas.

• Preventing Spills:

• To prevent spills or boil-overs onto the heating elements, use cookware that matches the element's diameter. For optimal efficiency, select pots or pans that do not exceed the heating element's diameter and have a flat bottom. 

• Operational Guidelines:

• Ensure the hot plate is placed on a level countertop. Maintain a minimum distance of 4 inches between the unit and any walls to prevent overheating.
