Maintenance Tips  

• Clean daily using warm water and mild detergent to remove grease, food residue, and buildup from the welded aluminum frame and 5 slide levels.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals to preserve the corrosion-resistant aluminum finish and extend rack life.
• Inspect 5" swivel casters regularly; remove debris and check for smooth rotation to maintain safe mobility in tight kitchen spaces.
• Check weld points and frame alignment weekly to ensure structural integrity under repeated loading and transport.
• Do not overload beyond 5-pan capacity; distribute weight evenly across all slides to prevent frame stress and warping.
• Tighten caster bolts periodically to avoid wobble during transport between prep, storage, and service areas.
• Dry thoroughly after washing to maintain sanitation in walk-in coolers and prevent water spotting.
• Store indoors on level surfaces when not in use to maximize lifespan and maintain NSF-level hygiene compliance.
