Maintenance Tips
-
Clean after each use: Wipe out the crushing chamber, feed chute, crushing plate, and all stainless‑steel or metal surfaces to remove residue, liquid, and metal fragments — then dry thoroughly.
-
Lubricate moving joints and hinges: Periodically apply a food‑safe lubricant to hinge pins, slide bars, and pivot points to keep crushing motion smooth and prevent wear or binding.
-
Inspect structural integrity: Regularly check the cabinet frame, mountings, bolts, and crushing plate for cracks, looseness or deformation. Tighten or replace any compromised parts promptly.
-
Avoid overloading and improper cans: Only crush cans within the crusher’s design limits; avoid overly large, dented, or thick-walled cans which can stress the mechanism.
-
Ensure stable mounting or leveling: Confirm the crusher is placed on a flat, stable surface or properly mounted so the force of crushing doesn’t cause misalignment or instability.
-
Dry thoroughly before storage after cleaning: Moisture left on metal parts can lead to corrosion; ensure everything is dry before next use.
-
Handle carefully: Avoid sudden impacts, drops, or forcing the crusher beyond its capacity — prolonged rough use reduces lifespan and can damage components.
