Maintenance Tips
- Clean after every use: Disassemble push block and blade assembly; wash thoroughly with warm water and mild detergent to remove starch and food buildup.
- Blade safety first: Always handle with extreme care—blades are very sharp; keep hands away during cleaning and reassembly.
- Dry completely: Wipe all metal parts dry after washing to prevent rust, corrosion, and dulling of finish.
- Avoid harsh cleaners: Do not use strong alkaline or abrasive cleaners as they can damage and pit metal surfaces.
- Lubricate moving parts: Apply food-grade mineral oil or grease to guide rods and joints for smooth operation (never use cooking oil).
- Check blade alignment: Ensure blade holder, spacers, and push block are properly seated for consistent 3/8" cuts.
- Inspect regularly: Tighten screws, wing nuts, and mounting hardware to maintain safe, stable operation.
- Deep cleaning routine: Periodically fully disassemble blade assembly for thorough sanitation and peak cutting performance.
