Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tray requires no assembly and is ready for use immediately upon unboxing. Simply place it on a level, dry surface. Because the Yama tray features a raw, matt finish, it should not be exposed to harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, which could damage the texture. To maintain the piece, use a soft, dry cloth to gently remove dust. Avoid using this tray in kitchens or bathrooms where it may be subject to heavy water splashing or high heat, as these environments can potentially affect the finish of the recycled aluminum.
