Maintenance Tips

• Clean Burners and Surface After Each Use: After each use, let the hotplate cool and then wipe the burners and the cooking surface with a damp cloth to remove grease and food debris. For stubborn stains, use a mild cleaner or non-abrasive scrub pad.
• Inspect and Clean Burner Ports: Regularly check the burner ports for any grease buildup or food debris. Clean them using a soft brush or compressed air to ensure consistent gas flow and flame.
• Empty and Clean the Drip Tray: After every use, empty and clean the drip tray with warm, soapy water. This will prevent grease accumulation and keep the area beneath the hotplate clean.
• Check Gas Lines for Leaks: Use a soapy water solution to check for gas leaks around all connections. If you see bubbles, tighten the connections or call a professional to inspect and repair any leaks.
• Clean Cooking Surface Thoroughly: Clean the entire cooking surface of the hotplate after each use. Use a damp cloth to wipe off food spills and oil, then dry the surface completely to avoid buildup or rust.
• Monitor Flame Color: Ensure the burners are producing a steady blue flame. If the flame turns yellow or orange, the burner may need cleaning or adjustments to improve efficiency.
• Inspect the Legs for Stability: Check the legs or feet of the hotplate regularly to make sure they are secure and stable. Tighten any loose parts to prevent movement during use.
• Keep Ventilation Areas Clean: Ensure that the ventilation areas around the hotplate are free from grease, dust, and debris. This will help the unit maintain proper airflow and avoid overheating.
• Season Grates (if applicable): If the hotplate uses cast iron grates, lightly season them with oil after cleaning to prevent rust and maintain a smooth, non-stick surface.
• Schedule Professional Maintenance: Have the hotplate professionally serviced at least once a year to check the gas system, burners, and overall performance, ensuring safe and efficient operation.
