Using this Chef trim ring is easy. Just place it on the small hotplate of your Chef stove where it fits snugly. Make sure to align it properly for a good fit. When using the hotplate, avoid using abrasive cleaners on the ring as it may damage the chrome finish. To maintain it, simply wipe it with a soft, damp cloth after each use to keep it clean and shiny. If you notice any signs of wear or damage, it's a good idea to replace the ring to ensure optimal performance of your hotplate.
