Avoid strong acids or alkalines to prevent damage to the mirror finish. After cleaning, wipe dry with a dry cloth to prevent residual moisture that could cause rust or stains. Regular cleaning maintains the appearance and performance of the dish and extends its lifespan.

2. Regular Inspection and Maintenance

Monthly, inspect all parts of the dish, including the handles, hooks, and fuel holder, to ensure they are secure and functioning properly. Inspect the interior of the food tray and hot water tray for scratches or damage, and repair or replace any damage as needed. Regularly check the fuel holder for leaks to ensure fuel safety.

3. Prevent Scratches and Impacts

During use and storage, avoid scratching or impacting the dish with hard objects to prevent scratches or dents.

Practical applications have shown that protective measures can improve the appearance and performance of plates by over 40%.

4. Regular Polishing

Perform a mirror polish on plates quarterly using a dedicated stainless steel polish and a soft cloth, following the instructions in the manual. Polishing effectively restores the surface gloss and resists fingerprints, ensuring the plates maintain their aesthetic appearance over time. For plates used frequently, polishing more frequently is recommended to extend their aesthetic lifespan.

5. Storage Environment Control

For long-term storage, keep plates in a dry, well-ventilated environment, avoiding humidity and high temperatures. If possible, apply a thin layer of cooking oil to the surface to prevent oxidation and rust. Regularly check the humidity and temperature of the storage environment to ensure the plates are not damaged during storage.
