Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after every use: Disassemble any removable parts (blade, food tray, carriage) and wash all food‑contact surfaces with warm soapy water; rinse thoroughly.
-
Dry completely before storage: Make sure all metal parts are fully dry to prevent rust or corrosion.
-
Keep the blade sharp: Regularly inspect the blade for dullness, nicks, or wear; resharpen or replace the blade when slicing becomes uneven or difficult.
-
Lubricate moving parts: Apply a food‑safe lubricant to hinges, sliding mechanisms, or pivot points to maintain smooth operation.
-
Inspect and secure hardware: Periodically check screws, bolts, mounting components — tighten any loose hardware to ensure stability and safety.
-
Store properly: When not in use, keep the slicer covered or in a cabinet to protect from dust, moisture, and accidental damage.
