If you're new to the world of hot food holding cabinets, we're glad you're here.

Today we plan to outline the three most common rookie mistakes new users make and offer the best tips for how to avoid them. 

Mistake 1: Improper Cleaning Techniques

Discovering how to care for your new hot food holding cabinet is a vital first step toward ensuring a long and successful positive experience. As with any new appliance, there's a learning curve involved. Part of that curve involves cleaning.

When your cabinets are shiny and brand new, it's tempting to skimp on your cleaning regimen; however, to do so would be a mistake. Allowing oils, crumbs, and grime to build up in and around your new hot food holding cabinet can have serious negative effects on the integrity of the appliance, particularly the seals and hinges.

Mistake 2: Failure to Close Securely

Anyone who's ever mistakenly left the front door unlatched, the car window down just a fraction or the refrigerator door ajar can sympathize with what a vital mistake it could be to fail to close your hot food holding cabinet securely. 

When adding or removing items from your hot food holding cabinet, be sure to take an extra second to ensure everything is closed back up and securely latched and sealed. To do so not only prevents the appliance from losing heat, but it also protects the integrity of the dish you're keeping warm.

Mistake 3: Ignoring Warranty Requirements 

The beautiful thing about warranties is that when requirements are met and claims are made through appropriate channels, you are provided with what you need to keep your hot food holding cabinet in good repair at no further cost to yourself. Ignoring warranty requirements, then, would be a serious rookie mistake. 

Fortunately, it's easily avoidable. Just read up on the warranty and follow the directions as best you can to save yourself unneeded grief.
