Operating Instructions
This kit serves as a serving and preparation station for hot stone cooking. It does not include the heating element or cooking stone.
- Preparation: Use the ceramic cups for sauces, condiments, or small side dishes. The stainless steel tray is designed to hold a heated cooking stone (not included) or other food items.
- Serving: Once your cooking stone is heated (refer to your cooking stone's specific instructions for heating), carefully place it onto the stainless steel tray within the bamboo platter. Arrange food items around the stone or on the stone itself as desired.
- Safety Precaution: Always use heat-resistant gloves when handling a hot cooking stone. Ensure the bamboo platter is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface. Consider using a protective mat underneath the platter to prevent heat transfer to delicate surfaces.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Bamboo platter warping or cracking | Excessive moisture exposure (soaking), extreme temperature changes, lack of oiling. | Do not soak. Dry immediately after washing. Apply food-grade mineral oil regularly. Avoid placing directly on very hot surfaces without protection. |
| Stainless steel tray discoloration | Heat exposure, certain food acids, improper cleaning. | Clean promptly after use. Use stainless steel cleaner if necessary. Discoloration from high heat is often cosmetic and does not affect function. |
| Ceramic cups chipping | Impact, dropping, improper handling. | Handle ceramic cups with care. Store them securely to prevent accidental impacts. |
| Kit does not include cooking stones | This product is a replacement kit for existing Artestia hot stone sets. | Cooking stones are sold separately, typically with the full Artestia AR-88023 set. This kit is designed to replace the bamboo platter, stainless steel tray, and ceramic cups only. |
