Setup and Assembly
The WMF Parmesan Grater consists of three main components: the stainless steel grater, the Tritan plastic collection container, and the stainless steel lid. Before first use, wash all components thoroughly.
- Unpack Components: Carefully remove all parts from the packaging.
- Assemble Grater and Container: Place the stainless steel grater securely onto the rim of the Tritan plastic collection container. Ensure it fits snugly to prevent movement during use.
- Lid Placement: The stainless steel lid can be placed on top of the grater for storage, or directly onto the container if the grater is removed.

Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for effective grating and storage:
- Prepare Cheese: Ensure your hard cheese (e.g., Parmesan) is firm and suitable for grating.
- Position Grater: Place the grater securely onto the collection container. The non-slip base of the container provides stability.
- Grate Cheese: Hold the cheese firmly and rub it across the grating surface with a steady, even motion. The grated cheese will fall directly into the container below.
- Store Grated Cheese: Once grating is complete, remove the grater. Place the stainless steel lid firmly onto the collection container. The airtight and aroma-tight seal will help keep your grated cheese fresh in the refrigerator.

Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your WMF Parmesan Grater.
- Disassembly: The grater can be completely disassembled into its individual components (grater, container, lid) for thorough cleaning.
- Dishwasher Safe: All components of the WMF Parmesan Grater are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack of your dishwasher for best results.
- Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm soapy water and a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots, especially on the stainless steel parts.
- Stubborn Residue: For stubborn cheese residue, soak the grater in warm water for a few minutes before cleaning.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Grater not stable on container | Grater not seated correctly or container base is wet. | Ensure the grater is firmly pressed onto the container rim. Dry the container's non-slip base if wet. |
| Cheese not grating effectively | Cheese is too soft or grater holes are clogged. | Use harder cheeses for best results. Clean the grater thoroughly to remove any blockages. |
| Lid not sealing properly | Lid or container rim is dirty, or lid is not aligned. | Clean the sealing surfaces of both the lid and container. Ensure the lid is aligned correctly before pressing down to seal. |
