Q&A

Maintenance Tips

• Daily wipe-down: Clean stainless steel wells, divider bars, and exterior after cooling to prevent grease and food residue buildup.
• Dry operation only: Halo Heat® is a waterless system—never add water or steam, as it can damage components and is not required for operation.
• Use divider bars correctly: Ensure all pan gaps are filled to maintain even heat distribution and consistent holding temperatures.
• Thermostat check: Verify both independent controls regularly to ensure accurate temperature stability across zones.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: Use mild detergents only to protect stainless steel surfaces and maintain food-safe conditions.
• Keep ventilation clear: Ensure surrounding counter space and airflow openings are free from grease and dust buildup.
• Inspect seals & fit: Check drop-in edges and insulation contact points to prevent heat loss and improve efficiency.
• Clean spills immediately: Since there’s no drain system, prompt cleaning prevents staining, odor, and residue hardening.
• Prevent scale issues: Use clean pans and avoid long-term sugary or acidic spills sitting in wells.
