• Clean drawers frequently: Wipe interior drawers with a soft cloth and mild, non‑abrasive cleaner to remove food particles and prevent buildup.

• Avoid excess moisture: Do not use high‑pressure sprays, steam clean, or submerge any part in water—moisture can damage thermostatic and electrical components.

• Gently clean exterior surfaces: Use a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid abrasive cleaners or pads that can scratch the finish.

• Check seals and gaskets: Inspect drawer seals regularly and clean gently to maintain proper heat retention and consistent temperatures.

• Verify thermostat function: Periodically check that the thermostat maintains correct holding temperatures; service if controls seem inaccurate.

• Inspect power cord and controls: Look for wear, fraying, or damage to cords and knobs before use to ensure safe operation.

• Professional servicing only: There are no user‑serviceable internal parts; contact authorized Hatco technicians for repairs to preserve performance and warranty.
