case of heavy soiling.
Preservation of value - blade
For a long-lasting sharpness and for a
preservation of the value of your Graef blade
we recommend that the blade be cleaned
in regular intervals, especially after cutting
cured meat or ham. They contain salts which
when on the blade surface for a longer period
of time could produce so-called “rust film”
( on “stainless steel” as well). When cutting
products which contain a lot of water, such as
tomatoes or cucumbers, a lack or wrong (too
“wet”) cleaning may produce rust on the blade
surface.
For this reason we recommend that you use a
moist cloth and a bit of detergent, if and when
necessary, to clean the blade directly after
use.
Never
put the blade in a dishwasher, firstly
due to decrease in sharpness and corrosion
resistance (salts attack the blade), and
secondly due to safety in handling the blade
whilst loading and unloading the dishwasher.
Removing the blade
Unscrew the blade from time to time and
clean the unit on the inside. Do this, especially
“juicy” cutting material (tomatoes, fruit,
roasts, et cetera) are cut. Handle the blade
with great care.
●
Remove the slide.
●
Use the black handle grip to turn the blade
cover plate in the direciton of the arrow
upwards until it is vertical over the motor
body. During this action in the initial position,
the snap point has to be overcome first of all.
●
Applying slight pressure, the blade can be
removed.
●
Undo the blade by using a coin to turn the
blade screw clockwise.
●
Use a moist cloth to clean the inside of the
blade and the black ring.
●
Place the blade in reverse order.
