Maintenance Tips
-
Wipe Clean Regularly: Use a soft cloth with warm water and mild detergent to remove food residue, spills, and grease.
-
Avoid Abrasive Cleaners or Tools: Do not use steel wool or rough pads that may scratch or damage stainless steel or laminate surfaces.
-
Inspect Structural Components: Periodically check casters/wheels, hinges, screws, and handles to ensure they are tight and functioning properly — tighten or replace any worn parts.
-
Do Not Overload: Adhere to recommended weight limits — excessive loads can warp, bend, or damage structural integrity.
-
Dry Thoroughly After Cleaning: Make sure all surfaces and components are completely dry before storage to avoid rust, moisture damage, or mildew.
-
Store Properly: When not in use, keep the unit in a dry, ventilated area to prolong lifespan.
