5. Operation

Using the magnetic knife block is straightforward:

1. Attaching Knives: Carefully place the blade of a knife against the wooden surface of the block. The integrated magnets will attract and hold the knife securely in place.
2. Removing Knives: To remove a knife, grasp the handle firmly and pull it away from the block. For larger or heavier knives, it may be helpful to slightly tilt the knife away from the block before pulling to disengage the magnetic hold.
3. Utilizing Both Sides: The block is designed with magnets on both sides, allowing for maximum storage capacity.

6. Maintenance

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Navaris Magnetic Wooden Knife Block:

• Cleaning: Wipe the wooden surface with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and immediately dry thoroughly.
• Drying: Always ensure the block is completely dry after cleaning to prevent water damage to the wood.
• Avoid Dishwasher: This product is NOT dishwasher safe. Exposure to high heat and moisture in a dishwasher can damage the wood and magnetic components.
• Wood Care: Periodically, you may apply a food-safe mineral oil to the wood to maintain its luster and prevent drying.
• Base Care: The stainless steel base can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your knife block, refer to the following common solutions:

• Knives not holding securely:
  • Ensure the knife blade is clean and free of debris that might interfere with magnetic contact.
  • Verify that the knife is made of a magnetic material. Some ceramic or non-ferrous alloy knives may not adhere.
  • For very heavy knives, the magnetic hold might be less pronounced. Consider placing heavier knives closer to the top of the block where magnets are typically strongest.
• Block sliding on countertop:
  • Check that the rubber pads on the stainless steel base are intact and clean.
  • Ensure the countertop surface is dry and free of grease or spills.
• Wood discoloration or damage:
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture or direct sunlight.
  • Refer to the maintenance section for proper cleaning and wood care.
