Most blades are dishwasher-safe but hand washing prolongs sharpness. Use mild soap and non-abrasive sponge.
Pat blades dry to prevent water spots and corrosion. Store in a dry place, preferably in a blade guard.
Always use the included hand guard to avoid cuts. Never scrape food over blades with bare hands.
We found that blade sharpness and a stable non-slip base are the most critical factors for a safe, efficient slicing experience. A comfortable handle reduces hand fatigue during large batches.
For uniform slices, hold the slicer steady with your non-dominant hand and apply even, moderate pressure. Let the blade do the work.

How do I clean a mandoline safely?+
Always clean with the guard on, or remove blades and wash separately. Use a brush for crevices. Never run your fingers over the blade edge.
What thickness settings are most useful?+
Thin settings (1-2 mm) for chips and delicate garnishes; medium (3-4 mm) for stir-fry and salads; thick (5-8 mm) for gratins and roasted veggies.

Many components are top-rack dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended to preserve blade sharpness. Check manufacturer instructions.
How do I prevent the mandoline from sliding?+
Ensure the rubber feet or suction base are clean and placed on a dry, non-slip surface. A damp paper towel under the board can add grip.
