Troubleshooting
Plate feels unstable or loose
Ensure the plate diameter is within the specified range (13-19cm). Check that all four hooks are properly engaged with the plate's edge. For thinner plates, try gently bending the hooks inward slightly for a tighter grip.
Hanger does not fit the plate
Verify the plate's diameter. If the plate is too large (over 19cm) or too small (under 13cm), this hanger model will not be suitable. Consider a different size JES plate hanger.
Plastic coating appears damaged
Inspect the coating for chips or cracks. If minor, continue use with caution. For significant damage, consider replacing the hanger to prevent potential scratching of the plate.
