Sharpen the blades every 2-3 months, or as needed, depending on the frequency of use. Regular honing will help maintain sharpness between sharpening sessions.
Always use the appliance on a stable, flat surface. Keep fingers away from blades, and never operate with wet hands. Ensure the device is unplugged when not in use and during cleaning.
