When transporting, ensure the vibrating poker is secured to prevent damaging occurring as the result of slipping, over turning and

When it is not used for long periods of time, store the vibrating poker in a clean, dry and protected environment. It must be hung up
with the head at the top and the control handle open to allow any moisture to escape from the poker.
