Avoid contact with hard objects such as plates or spoons, as the ceramic teeth may chip. Do not stack heavy items on top during storage.
The ceramic surface is very sharp. Handle with care. Small dark lines around the teeth are part of the manufacturing process and do not affect performance.
Ensure the grater and table surface are dry before use, as the silicone base may slip when wet.
Do not leave on oil-absorbing surfaces (wood, paper, fabric) for long periods, as slight oil transfer from the silicone may occur. Avoid storing in prolonged contact with smooth surfaces such as glass or ceramic.
