Will the interior be damaged by high heat?

Oh, absolutely. I think anything above 1000 C would definitely be hard on both the interior AND exterior.

I have used my pans for close to 10 years on both electric and gas stoves. They have held up fine. I just recently replaced my pans because my mother in law burned my pans using too much oil and too high heat. Outside of her use, they held up well to every day use.

I've seen no damage underneath. The top and sides do get very hot. I keep the back of mine away from the wall.

I would think so, but I doubt your need high heat with all-clad. I have all all-clad and don't ever use high heat

I would think sun protection shouldn't be a problem as long as you take precautions to prevent the interior from overheating. Ie leave the windows open a small gap.personally I'd still park it in a spot where you have shade during a few hours of the day . But back to the cover, its absolutely fantastic, very well made.

Just like any other heating device it will damage a lil bit but you should always use a thermal styling spray to cut down on damage

I would think something would have to be heated to the extreme before it could cause damage like melting. I have hot coffee on mine everyday and have no problems.

I would think that the interior material is plastic. The top & sides are made of plastic and the bottom is the heating element and it's metal.

I see no problem, though always best to check local codes. The cabinet does get hot (but not blazing hot) when set on convection at higher temps. Max set point is 450 but it doesn't hold that temp very well so the practical high end is probably 400 or 425. One last note not related to safety: in my opinion this unit is not particularly well built and would likely fail to stand up to hotel use.

I strongly suggest contacting the manufacturer.My opinion, however, would be that if there was any food touching the cover, the food might get too hot and damage the cover.

Oh, yeah. Cast iron can handle the high heat. You're gonna love the grill marks. It's really the way to go.

We leave it in a compartment in between the front seats. So far there has been no damage. HOwever, the heat in Florida is something else. I would suggest your calling the company (look on web ) for guidance.

Its tough paint, but its epoxy based (like hard plastic), so I don't think it would hold up to extreme heat very well if its really close to the burner. I would probably suggest trying high heat rated spray paint instead.

Heat will fry amps up. If you mounted under the seat, that location holds much heat and likely the cause. Remount on the lower frame facing forward if the unit is waterproof, not resistant.

Yes, same experience with the interior element not heating. We returned ours.

Dear Valued Customer, No, this will not damage the product if it arrived hot. Thank you and have a great day. DrVita Customer Service

The sistema company told me he products are meant to 'heat up' rather than 'cook'. It seems that food getting too hot will cause a problem with the interior plastic. I've bought a lot of their products, too- I use them with caution now. QVC made them seem flawless and indestructible! I also hand wash them.
