Troubleshooting
Utensil head feels loose after adjustment
Ensure the head is adjusted to the desired angle and firmly set. If it continues to feel loose, re-adjust and apply slight pressure to secure. For persistent issues, consider the strap slot for added security or contact customer support.
Handle is difficult to grip tightly
The ribbed grip is designed to enhance hold. Ensure your hand is positioned comfortably on the handle. If grip remains a significant challenge, consider using an additional utensil strap secured through the handle's slot.
Dishwasher leaves residue
