IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
:::Always be careful when handling, using or washing knives. Keep them out
of the reach of children. These knives are extremely sharp and
can cause serious injuries. Handle them with care.
:::Always use on a stable plastic or wooden surface. Do not use on metal,
ceramic, glass, stone, marble or plates as it may damage the edge. Keep
the knives clean and dry when using and cut on a dry, stable, anti-slip
surface. Always cut food with the sharp edge of the blade directed away
from limbs and body.
:::Never use the knives for any other purpose than preparing food.
:::Do not bend the blades, pull or use them as levers. To prevent permanent
damage to the blades and/or handles, do not drop the knives, throw them
or expose them on or near an open flame.
:::Do not cut bones, frozen food or any other hard food. Do not use for
carving, boning or any application that requires a flexible blade. Do not use
to smash garlic.
:::The warranty applies when the product is used in a normal domestic
setting and in accordance with the use and care instructions. The warranty
does not cover normal wear and tear, nor damages caused by improper
use. We reserve the right to make the final decision as to the cause of
any damage.
HOW TO USE A SHARPENING STEEL*
:::Always keep the blades of the knives sharp and clean. A dull blade is
more dangerous than a sharp blade, because it does not cut eectively.
Neveruse your hand or finger to verify if a blade is sharp. Sharpening
requires two steps: sharpening and honing.
:::Sharpening gives the knife blade its profile and shape. This is the
foundation of the knife’s unique curves and prepares it for optimal honing.
Knifes should be sharpened by a professional knife sharpener once or
twice a year, to the most.
:::Honing is the second step that gives the blade its
cutting edge, and it can be done before and/or after
use with the sharpening steel included in the block.
:::See the diagram for instructions on how to use
a sharpening steel. Holdthe clean knife at a 20˚
from the sharpening steel. It is recommended to
place the steel securely on aflat surface in order
to achieve the correct angle. Startat the bolster
and gradually pull down and across the knife blade.
Atthe bottom of the steel, you should be at the
po int of the knife blade. This should be a smooth
rapid motion. Repeat this motion on the reverse side
of the blade. A knife that feels dull may need only a
few light strokes tocorrect its edge and regain its
sharpness. Wipethe knife clean before use.
* NOTE: Not all knives need sharpening. Do not use the sharpening steel with the
multi-purpose knife and the bread knife. Their serrated edged blades are designed
to always remain sharp.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Knives
:::Hand wash stainless steel knives in warm soapy water. Wash away from
other hard items as shocks during cleaning can damage the blades. Each
knife should be dried separately, always keeping the sharp cutting edge
away from the hand. Dry the knife from the back of the handle to the
cutting edge.
:::To remove stains, clean the blades with non-abrasive stainless steel
cleaning liquid avoiding spilling over the handle.
Acacia wood block
:::To maintain the acacia wood luster and finish, using a soft cloth, lightly
rub mineral oil onto the wooden block before first use and occasionally
thereafter.
:::Store the block at room temperature as extreme hot or cold temperatures
can draw moisture out of the wood and cause cracking or splitting.
:::Never immerse the wooden block nor the rotating base in water or put in
the dishwasher. If needed, clean with a damp cloth, wipe o and air dry.
