Maintenance Tips

• Clean immediately after each use to prevent onion juice and sugars from drying in the blade cartridge and reducing cutting accuracy
• Lock the lever in the UP position before cleaning to safely access blades and pusher assembly
• Remove pusher assembly and blade cartridges daily for full wash and sanitation
• Wash all parts with warm water + mild detergent; avoid alkaline or harsh cleaners that can dull finish and reduce blade life
• Clean blades carefully from the non-cutting side only using a soft brush—never wipe across sharp edges
• Rinse thoroughly and air-dry completely before reassembly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth
• Never put in dishwasher—hand washing preserves blade tension and alignment
• Inspect blade cartridge regularly for dulling, bending, or damage; replace if cuts become uneven or require extra force
• Lubricate guide rods lightly with food-grade mineral oil if movement becomes stiff (do not use cooking oil)
