Care Instructions
• Henckels knives and shears are dishwasher-safe but hand-washing is recommended. In the dishwasher, your Henckels knives and shears may bang against other cutlery or pots and pans and knick the blades.
• Wipe the knives and shears clean with a wet cloth and dishwashing detergent. Dry immediately. Dry from the back of each knife to the blade tip.
• Dust, fluff and the remains of cutting material should be wiped off the shears' cutting edges and blades.
• Simply wipe the sharpening steel clean with a dry cloth.
• No metal is completely stain-free. To prevent slight tarnishing, be sure to remove acidic foods (lemon, mustard, ketchup, etc.) from the blades after use. If blades should show some signs of staining, clean with a non-abrasive metal polish.
• Occasionally the shears' screw slot and the joint area between should be oiled with a drop of fine oil. This will help ensure easy closing of the blades.
• With extensive use, the shears may need to be re-ground and re-honed by a qualified specialist.
• To prevent irreparable blade damage, it is best to store knives and shears in a knife block or in-drawer knife tray.
