Troubleshooting
Water spots appearing on the surface
Dry the knives immediately after the dishwashing cycle concludes to prevent mineral deposits from setting.
Surface dullness over time
Use a specialized stainless steel polishing cloth or professional-grade stainless steel cleaner to restore the original luster.
Not being caught by magnetic bin lid
Verify that your cutlery bin lid is equipped with a high-strength magnet and ensure the knife is placed directly on the contact point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before the first use, all cutlery should be washed in a professional dishwasher to remove manufacturing residues. To ensure the longevity of the high polish finish, avoid leaving the knives in contact with acidic food residues or salt for extended periods, as these can cause pitting. When using a commercial dishwasher, ensure that the cutlery is placed in the designated baskets with handles facing down, though the magnetic base of this knife allows for reliable sorting in compatible waste systems. Always dry immediately after the wash cycle to minimize water spots and maintain the mirror-like sheen of the silver finish.
