Keeping your ROMMELSBACHER EM150 electric knife in top condition is easy with the right cleaning and maintenance. Here's how to do it, based on the manufacturer's recommendations:
- Safety First Unplug the Knife Always disconnect the electric knife from the power outlet before you start cleaning to avoid any accidents.
- Water and the Base Unit Keep it Dry Never submerge the base unit or the power plug in water or rinse them under the tap. This protects the electrical parts.
- Handle Blades with Care Always be cautious when handling the blades. Avoid touching the sharp edges to prevent injuries.
- Clean After Use Clean your electric knife immediately after each use. This prevents food residue from drying and becoming harder to remove.
- Prevent Staining If you're cutting foods like carrots that can stain, wipe the plastic parts of your knife and its accessories with a small amount of edible oil before cleaning. This can help prevent discoloration.
- Detach for Cleaning Remove any detachable parts from the base unit before you start cleaning for better access.
- Clean the Base Use a Damp Cloth For the base unit, use a damp cloth to wipe it clean. Make sure to dry it thoroughly after cleaning to prevent any moisture damage.
- Clean the Blades Wash the Blades Clean the blades in hot, soapy water, using a cleaning brush or put them in the dishwasher. Make sure the blades are placed safely in the dishwasher to avoid damaging any plastic parts.
- Assemble and Store Assemble the cleaned and dried blade sets and put them back in their blade covers for safe storage.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners Never use abrasive cleaners or solvents on your electric knife, as they can damage its surfaces.
- No Steam Cleaning Avoid steam cleaning your electric knife to prevent damage to its electrical components.
By following these simple steps, you'll ensure your ROMMELSBACHER EM150 electric knife continues to perform well for a long time.
