When washing fork/knife products in the dishwasher, it is recommended to place the knives in a separate compartment. Fork/knife products with food residue should be washed with warm soapy water and a soft brush that will not damage the surface before being placed in the dishwasher. The rinse program of the dishwasher should not be used for fork/knife products. It is recommended to remove fork/knife products from the dishwasher before the final drying cycle. The high heat levels of the drying programs in dishwashers can damage the product surfaces. When storing fork/knife products, they should be completely dry. It is normal for fork/knife products to become scratched and lose their shine over time due to use. The product is made of 18/10 Stainless Steel and is 100% Turkish made.
