ENGLISH

Before using for the first time
Wash, rinse and dry the knife before using it
for the first time.
Cleaning
― Knives prefer to be washed by hand. The
knife is unlikely to be rendered useless
if washed in a dishwasher, but the edge
can be damaged, the blade may corrode
or the plastic handle may become dull.
― To avoid unsightly marks on the
blade, always rinse and dry the knife
immediately after it has been washed.
― It is advisable always to wash and dry
the knife as soon as it has been used.
That prevents any risk of bacteria
spreading from, for example, raw
chicken to fresh vegetables.
Sharpening and whetting
― A sharp knife is safer to use than a blunt
one, so sharpen your knives regularly.
ÄNDLIG knives have stainless steel
blades that are simple to sharpen.
Once a week is usually advisable for
ordinary household use. Remember
that the sharpener must be made of a
harder material than the steel in the
blades. For this reason you need to use
a sharpening steel made of ceramic or
chromium steel, a whetstone or a knife
sharpener.
― If a knife has become very blunt as
a result of long use or carelessness,
you may need to have the blade
professionally sharpened to restore its
edge.
