Maintenance Tips

• Power off before cleaning: Always disconnect the unit from power and verify it has cooled before wiping surfaces to avoid electrical shock or burns.

• Clean top surface regularly: Wipe the Swanstone flush top with a soft cloth and mild soap and water after each use — Swanstone is non‑porous and resists stains, making cleanup easier.

• Avoid abrasive cleaners and tools: Use only non‑abrasive cleaners and soft cloths to prevent scratching the decorative stone surface.

• Keep vents and controls clear: Ensure air vents and control areas remain free of debris and spills to maintain efficient heating/cooling performance.

• Check wiring and connections: Periodically inspect the power cord and control enclosure connections for wear, fraying, or damage and replace if necessary.

• Verify temperature settings: Regularly confirm that temperature controls are set correctly for hot or cold mode to ensure safe food holding temperatures.

• Monitor condensing unit: For models with remote condenser, keep the area around the condenser free from dust and obstructions to support airflow and cooling efficiency.

• Authorized service only: There are no user‑serviceable internal parts — contact qualified technicians for any repairs or component replacements to maintain safety and warranty compliance.
