Before First Use:

Before using your serving board for the first time, it is important to clean it properly.

• Wash the board thoroughly with mild soap and warm water.
• Rinse completely and dry immediately with a clean cloth.
• Allow the board to air dry completely in an upright position before storing.

4. Operating Instructions

This acacia wood board is designed for serving. While durable, it is not intended for heavy-duty cutting or chopping, which can damage the polished surface and wood grain. For best results and to maintain its aesthetic appeal, use it primarily for presenting food.

Using Your Serving Board:

• Place food items directly on the board or use small dishes/liners for wet or oily foods to protect the wood.
• Use the integrated handles to safely transport the board from the kitchen to your serving area.
• Avoid placing extremely hot items directly on the wood surface without a protective barrier.

5. Care and Maintenance

Proper care will extend the life and beauty of your acacia wood serving board.

Cleaning:

• Hand Wash Only: Wash the board immediately after use with mild soap and warm water.
• Do Not Soak: Never submerge the board in water, as this can cause warping, cracking, or splitting.
• Dry Immediately: After washing, dry the board thoroughly with a clean towel.
• Air Dry: Allow the board to air dry completely in an upright position to ensure all sides dry evenly.
• Not Dishwasher Safe: This product is not suitable for dishwasher cleaning.

Maintenance:

• Oil Regularly: To prevent the wood from drying out and to maintain its luster, periodically apply a food-grade mineral oil or wood conditioner. Apply a generous amount, let it soak in for several hours or overnight, then wipe off any excess.
• Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not place the board in an oven, microwave, or expose it to direct heat sources. It is also not oven safe.
• Storage: Store the board in a dry area away from direct sunlight or extreme temperature changes. Storing it flat or upright in a rack is recommended.

6. Troubleshooting

Common Issues and Solutions:

• Wood Drying Out/Fading: This is normal for natural wood. Apply food-grade mineral oil regularly to restore moisture and shine.
• Minor Scratches: Light scratches can often be minimized by applying mineral oil. For deeper scratches, light sanding with fine-grit sandpaper followed by oiling may be necessary (use caution to maintain finish).
• Warping: Usually caused by improper drying or exposure to excessive moisture/heat. Always dry immediately and thoroughly, and store in a stable environment.
