Maintenance:
Given the high carbon content steel used for the blade and the extreme build quality of these knives, we recommend a series of attentions to follow to maintain the quality of the product over time.

- Never place the knife in the dishwasher
- Rinse the knife with hot water before first use
- Rinse the knife immediately after each use without aggressive dishwashing detergent and dry with a soft cloth (always starting at the back of the cutting edge)
- Aggressive foods such as lemon juice must be promptly rinsed immediately after use
- Do not use glass or granite slabs as a cutting support. Use only wooden bases
- Pay attention that the cutting edge of the knife does not come into contact with other metal objects during its deposit to avoid damage to the cutting edge.

PRIMA DI UTILIZZARE IL COLTELLO LEGGA ATTENTAMENTE QUESTE ISTRUZIONI E LE CONSERVI

Questo coltello funzionerà per vari anni senza nessun problema se:
• Lo toglie dal supporto per coltelli o dal cassetto
• Lo utilizza per tagli diritti da eseguire su tagliere
• Lo lava e l'asciuga
• Lo rimette nel supporto per coltelli o nel cassetto dopo averlo utilizzato

USO
Ideale per tagliare frutta, verdure e carni senza osso
Il termine verdure e frutta è generic: non si possono elencare tutti i tipi di frutta o verdura sconsigliati,ma è tassativamente sconsigliato l’utilizzo su frutta e verdura dutra (zucca, noci di cocco, ecc, )
Utilizzi sempre un tagliere di plastica o legno; eviti di tagliare su marmo, pietra, piatti o piastrelle Per trinciare, separare e disossare, così come per tagliare alimenti duri, congelati, pane con crosta e formaggi, utilizzi sempre i suoi coltelli tradizionali in acciaio. Questi tipi di taglio richiedono flessione e torsione e, per questo motivo, conviene utilizzare un materiale più flessibile rispetto alla ceramica.
Per la sua protezione, la punta e la base della lama non sono affilate

PULIZIA
Lavare a mano con acqua e detersivo per piatti.
I coltelli in ceramica Kyocera con manico in plastica possono essere messi in lavastoviglie. Vanno riposti nel vano dedicato a mestoli e piccoli accessori nel cestello superiore, evitando il contatto con altri utensili in metallo. I coltelli in ceramica Kyocera con manico in legno non possono essere lavati in lavastoviglie.
Nel caso si producessero scolorimenti che non scompaiono con la normale pulizia, lavi la lama (non l'impugnatura) con una leggera soluzione a base di candeggina.

EVITARE
Non lasciare cadere su superci dure.
Non utilizzare la punta come punto di rotazione, l'estremità a§lata potrebbe penetrare nel tagliere, bloccarsi e rompersi Non esporre la lama alla amma diretta (la ceramica è un conduttore di calore). Non utilizzare la parte laterale della lama per schiacciare aglio o altri alimenti.

CONSERVAZIONE
Lo collochi in un supporto per coltelli, un fodero o un cassetto. Quando colloca o toglie il coltello dal supporto, faccia attenzione a non danneggiare la punta della lama.

USURA
Con il trascorrere del tempo tutti i coltelli perdono l'a§latura. Un lama di metallo dolce (acciaio inossidabile) "slitta" quando perde l'affilatura. I metalli più duri (come l'acciaio con carbonio) rimangono affilati più tempo, però perdono l'affilatura in modo diverso. I materiali più duri, invece di "slittare", tendono a scheggiarsi leggermente.
All'inizio la ceramica è più affilata - e rimane a§lata per più tempo. Con il trascorrere del tempo possono prodursi delle piccole incisioni sul lo della lama. Si tratta del processo normale per il quale perdono l'a§latura tutte le lame in materiale duro.
Nonostante la loro apparenza, l'esistenza di piccole incisioni non signica necessariamente che il coltello non sia a§lato. Potrà constatare che funziona perfettamente durante un periodo di tempo prolungato.
Quando il rendimento del coltello non sarà più quello desiderato, il processo di a§latura Kyocera farà si che il suo coltello torni ad avere un lama ben affilata.
È possibile che le incisioni più profonde e una punta rotta si possano risolvere grazie alla nuova affilatura.
