Operating Instructions

1. Placement: Place the grater on a stable, flat surface. For best results, place it directly over a bowl or plate to collect grated food.
2. Grip: Hold the ergonomic handle firmly with one hand.
3. Grating: With your other hand, take the food item (e.g., cheese, vegetables) and rub it against the desired grating surface in a downward motion. Apply gentle, even pressure.
4. Caution: The grating surfaces are sharp. Always exercise extreme caution to avoid injury to your fingers. Use a food holder or wear protective gloves if preferred, especially when grating smaller pieces.
5. Surface Selection: Experiment with the four different surfaces to achieve the desired texture for your ingredients.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wash the grater immediately after each use. Use warm water and a mild dish soap. A brush may be helpful to remove food particles from the grating surfaces.
• Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Dry the grater completely with a soft cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its finish. Do not allow it to air dry, as this can lead to mineral deposits.
• Dishwasher Safety: This grater is NOT dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended to preserve the integrity of the stainless steel and plastic components.
• Storage: Store the grater in a dry place, away from excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

• Difficulty Grating: Ensure the food item is firm enough. For softer foods, chilling them slightly before grating can improve results. Ensure you are using the appropriate grating surface for the food type.
• Food Stuck in Grater: Use a stiff brush or a toothpick to carefully dislodge any stubborn food particles. Always clean immediately after use to prevent food from drying and hardening on the surfaces.
• Rust Spots: While made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to moisture or harsh chemicals can cause surface rust. Ensure the grater is always dried thoroughly after washing. If rust spots appear, they can often be removed with a stainless steel cleaner and a non-abrasive cloth.
