Cleaning: Over time, these components can accumulate contaminants that may affect performance. Cleaning should be performed using non-abrasive methods to prevent surface damage.
Inspection: Regularly inspect the anode and cathode for signs of wear, pitting, or other damages. If the ceramic shows any evidence of cracking, if the edges are significantly rounded, or if there is excessive pitting on any of the cathode surfaces, it is advisable to replace the component.
