Care and Cleaning
The Stainless Steel Mandoline is designed to require only minimal mainte- nance. The body and the blades are dishwasher safe, but hand washing is always preferred to extend product life. The slicing blade should be sharpened from time to time, while the serrated blade should be brought to a cutlery specialist for occasional sharpening services. Any good gour- met store should be able to give a recommendation. For storage, place Mandoline in a clean, dry location.
Warning! Always remove blades from the Mandoline before attempting to clean to prevent laceration.
It is recommended to wash the Mandoline in hot water before use. It should also be washed after every use, with hold soapy water in the sink or in the dishwasher. Rinse with hot water in order to flush out vegetable residues. You may then towel and/or air dry. Do not clean the Mandoline with any implement which might damage the edge of the blades. The Mandoline does not require any lubricating greases or oils. Lubricants that are unsafe for human consumption should not be applied.
Blade Storage
The straight ,serrated and julienne blades should be stored in the plastic holder as shown in figure 10.
