Cleaning: Turn off and unplug the unit before cleaning. Wipe down the exterior and interior with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not immerse the unit or spray it directly with water.

Avoid Overloading: Do not overfill the food pans or exceed water capacity to prevent spillage and ensure even heating.
