Proper cleaning and maintenance ensure the longevity and hygiene of your grater.

1. Disassembly: Turn the handle counter-clockwise to unlock and remove it. Remove the transparent barrel from the main unit. Carefully remove the blade from the barrel.
2. Washing: All detachable parts (blades, transparent barrel, food pusher, handle) are easy to clean. Rinse them under running water immediately after use to prevent food from drying on the surfaces. Use a brush to remove any food residue from the blades.
3. Drying: Ensure all parts are thoroughly dried before reassembly or storage to prevent rust on the stainless steel blades.
4. Main Unit: Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the main unit in water.
5. Dishwasher Safety: This product is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is recommended for all components.

6. Storage

Store the grater and its components in a clean, dry place. The included blade storage case helps keep the blades organized and protected when not in use.

7. Troubleshooting

• Unit not suctioning properly: Ensure the countertop surface is clean, smooth, and dry. Press down firmly on the unit while turning the suction knob clockwise to create a strong seal. Avoid porous or uneven surfaces.
• Difficulty turning the handle: Ensure the blade is correctly seated and not obstructed by large food pieces. Do not overfill the transparent barrel. Apply steady, not excessive, pressure with the food pusher.
• Food getting stuck: Cut ingredients into smaller pieces to fit the feed opening. Ensure the food pusher is applying even pressure.
• Blades not cutting effectively: Ensure the correct blade is selected for the ingredient type. Blades are sharp; handle with care.
