Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for the Olympia Kristallon knife. Simply unpack and wash before initial use. To maintain the longevity of the polypropylene material, avoid exposing the knives to direct heat, such as resting them on a hot stovetop or near an open flame, as this will cause the material to warp or melt. While they are dishwasher safe, routine inspection for deep surface scratches is recommended to ensure food particles do not become trapped over time. The material is chemically stable and resistant to most common cleaning agents.
