Victorinox Swiss Modern Chef's Knife, 19cm — Colour: Swiss Modern Yellow

• Hand wash recommended - clean with soapy water and a damp cloth. The reason for this is that if it isn’t placed carefully, a large knife can damage the cutlery basket, which itself can cause corrosion. If this happens, the dishwasher’s system may have an indirect effect on the knife’s steel. Washing by hand can also help to keep the knives sharper longer, since the process is gentler on the blade
• Dishwasher safe
• Dry thoroughly

Additional information for care of this product:

• • The best way to clean your knife is to simply run it under the tap right after you use it. Just hold it under cold running water and rub the blade with your fingers, without touching the sharp edge. You can also use a towel or a sponge, but make sure they are clean so they don’t scratch the blade’s metal surface
  • It’s important to do this as soon as possible – salty or acidic food can stain your blade if you don’t clean it for longer periods of time
  • It’s also ok to use just water the stainless steel blades are highly polished during the manufacturing process, which means ingredients don’t usually stick to them. The only exception is greasy food – here a small amount of dishwashing liquid on a sponge should be enough
  • For maximum safety, it’s best to hold the knife blade parallel to the sink so you can see the whole surface of the blade and keep an eye on the sharp edge all the time
  • All Victorinox household knives with synthetic handles are dishwasher-safe
  • If you do go for the dishwasher option, it is recommended to rinsing the blade first and making sure that the knives in the cutlery basket don’t touch other metal items. This avoids the blades being damaged by other utensils or cutlery
• • Pay attention to which detergent you use in your machine. Aggressive or too much detergent can also cause stains on the blade. If you see that your dishwasher is not cleaning your blades thoroughly, it is recommended changing your detergent
  • Other tips include opening the dishwasher briefly after cleaning. The hot water vapour and water condensation can also cause stains and corrosion on the blades
  • Don’t let your knives air-dry, as this can result in limescale spots on the blade. Instead, use a cotton or linen towel to dry the knife immediately after washing
• • Make sure your towel is clean so as not to scratch or harm the blade
