Maintenance Tips

• Preheating: Set the thermostat to the maximum heat setting and preheat the unit for about 15 minutes before placing food in.

• Water Level Maintenance: Regularly check the water level to ensure it stays at the correct level. Some models have a low water indicator to alert you when the water level is too low.

• Food Placement: Place a covered inset with preheated or refrigerated food into the well. Stir the food occasionally to ensure even heating.

• Temperature Adjustment: After placing the food in, adjust the thermostat to a "Low" or "Medium" setting depending on the food's amount and thickness.

• Food Coverage: Always keep the food covered to maintain the ideal serving temperature and prevent contamination.

• Daily Cleaning: After use, refrigerate any remaining food and clean the unit thoroughly by wiping it with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid submerging the unit in water.

• Avoid Corrosive Cleaners: Do not use chlorine or chloride-based products to clean the unit, as they can cause corrosion.

• Professional Servicing: Schedule professional maintenance periodically to ensure the unit operates efficiently and safely.
