Care Instructions

A sharp knife is a safe knife. Maintain the edge of your knives using a honing steel or other honing device to help keep a refined edge between uses.

When your knives begin to feel dull or blunt, use a sharpening tool to restore the blade and keep it ready for food preparation.

This range is not suitable for dishwasher cleaning. For best results, hand wash with warm soapy water and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
