Setup, Compatibility & Care
This tool requires no formal setup—simply remove it from the packaging and ensure it is clean before the first use. To maintain the life of the tinned wire, avoid acidic cleaners or abrasive scrubbers that could compromise the coating. After use, wash by hand using a mild detergent and warm water. It is critical to dry the tool thoroughly with a lint-free cloth immediately after washing to prevent oxidation or rust. Store in a dry area or hang by the handle to allow for complete air circulation.
