Maintenance Tips

*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(–header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]“ dir=“auto“ data-turn-id=“request-WEB:833bc3a3-258b-4174-8bb6-3e07e202f9cd-42″ data-testid=“conversation-turn-84″ data-scroll-anchor=“true“ data-turn=“assistant“>

Wipe down all surfaces after each use with a soft cloth and mild, non‑abrasive cleaner to maintain the stainless‑steel top and base finish.

Avoid abrasive scrubbers, steel wool, or harsh chemicals which can scratch or damage the surface.

Inspect casters, hinges, screws, and fasteners regularly to ensure stability and safe mobility; tighten or replace any loose or worn parts.

Dry thoroughly after cleaning — especially around seams and joints — to prevent moisture buildup, rust, or corrosion.

Do not exceed recommended weight capacity; overloading can compromise structural integrity and stability.
