Operating Instructions

Once assembled, the grater is ready for use. Ensure your ingredients are cut into pieces that fit comfortably into the feeding chute.

1. Place Ingredients: Insert the food item (e.g., cheese, vegetables) into the top opening of the transparent barrel.
2. Apply Pressure: Use the food pusher to gently press the ingredient down towards the blade.
3. Turn the Handle: Rotate the handle clockwise to engage the blade and begin grating or slicing. The processed food will exit through the chute into your bowl.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your SUSTEAS Rotary Cheese Grater. All parts are designed for easy disassembly and cleaning.

1. Disassembly: To disassemble, lift the lever on the suction base to release it from the countertop. Twist the handle counter-clockwise to remove it. Press the release button (if applicable) or twist the transparent barrel to detach it from the main unit. Carefully remove the blade.
2. Washing: All disassembled parts can be washed by hand with warm, soapy water. Use a brush to remove any food residue from the blades. The product is also dishwasher safe.
3. Drying: Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before reassembly or storage to prevent rust and maintain hygiene.
4. Storage: Store the blades in the provided storage box to keep them organized and safe. Store the main unit in a dry place.

Troubleshooting

• Grater not stable: Ensure the suction base is placed on a clean, smooth, and dry surface. Press the lever firmly to activate the suction.
• Food not grating/slicing properly: Check if the blade is correctly installed and locked into place. Ensure the food item is not too large or too hard for the selected blade.
• Food getting stuck: Do not overfill the feeding chute. Apply steady, gentle pressure with the food pusher. The sloping design helps prevent clogging, but very soft or sticky foods may require slower operation.
• Difficulty turning the handle: Ensure the blade is clean and free of obstructions. If grating hard foods, apply consistent pressure and turn steadily.
