• Clean blades, pusher head, and housing after each use with warm water and food-safe detergent to prevent food buildup.
• Dry thoroughly to prevent corrosion and maintain sharp 1" square cutting performance.
• Inspect blade assembly regularly for dulling, bending, or trapped debris that can affect cut consistency.
• Use steady, even pressure—avoid forcing product through to protect blades and frame.
• Ensure the unit is securely mounted on a stable surface for safe operation and accurate cutting.
• Lubricate guide rods lightly with food-grade lubricant if movement becomes stiff.
• Store in a clean, dry area to extend tool life and maintain hygiene standards.
