USE & CARE

Thank you for choosing Calphalon Precision Series cutlery. To ensure

optimal edge retention and a lifetime of performance, please review

the following recommendations and save this card for future reference.

GETTING STARTED

Before using your cutlery for the ﬁrst time, carefully wash by hand

using warm water, a liquid dishwashing detergent and a non-

abrasive sponge or soft bristle brush. Rinse and dry thoroughly.

CUTTING BOARDS AND SURFACES

Use wood, bamboo or polyethylene cutting boards. Do not cut on

granite, marble, tile, stone, stainless, concrete or ceramic surfaces,

as these will dull or damage the cutting edge.

CLEANING

Carefully wipe clean with a sudsy cloth and rinse after each use.

ALWAYS wipe dry immediately. Do not soak or wash in a dishwasher.

Washing in an automatic dishwasher will void the Full Lifetime Warranty.

BLADE MAINTENANCE

To maintain optimal cutting performance, blades should be honed before

each use and sharpened as needed. Honing realigns the existing blade

edge, while sharpening creates a new blade edge so that the knife

cuts more easily. DO NOT hone or manually sharpen serrated blades –

professional sharpening is recommended for best results.
