Maintenance Tips

Clean after every use: Disassemble any removable parts, and wash blade, guards, trays, and all food‑contact surfaces with warm soapy water; rinse thoroughly.
-
Dry completely before storage: Ensure all parts—especially metal parts—are fully dry to prevent corrosion.
-
Sharpen or replace blade as needed: If slicing becomes difficult or uneven, inspect the blade and resharpen or replace to maintain clean, safe cuts.
-
Lubricate hinges and moving parts: Use food‑safe lubricant on pivot points or sliding mechanisms to keep motion smooth and prevent wear.
-
Inspect blade alignment and mounting hardware: Check screws and mounts regularly to ensure blade is secure and aligned properly; tighten or re‑mount as needed.
-
Store in a dry, clean place: Keep the slicer covered or in a cupboard to protect from dust, moisture, and accidental damage.
