Clean knife and gear assemblies regularly: Remove the knife, drive gear, and shield; wash and dry thoroughly to prevent food buildup and ensure smooth operation.
-
Inspect cutting knife and drive gear for wear: Check for nicks, dullness, or worn gear teeth; replace components as needed to maintain clean cuts.
-
Lubricate moving parts if needed: Lightly apply food-safe lubricant to the knife stud and bearing surfaces after cleaning to maintain smooth rotation.
-
Keep exterior and housing clean: Wipe down stainless-steel surfaces to maintain sanitation and prevent corrosion.

Verify safety components before use: Ensure shields and gear locks are securely in place; never operate without proper protection.
