FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is this scraper used for?
   It is used to remove dried or sticky food residue, burnt marks, or deposits on surfaces in professional kitchens, production lines or equipment.
2. Why use a stainless steel blade rather than plastic or nylon?
   Stainless steel is more rigid and durable for tough residues, offers a precise finish, and is suitable for food contact. However, for very sensitive surfaces, a nylon blade may be preferable (less risk of scratching).
3. Can it be used under high temperature?
   Yes — the product is safe up to approximately 200°C for non-food or food use.
4. Is this scraper suitable for delicate surfaces (polished stainless steel, glass, sensitive machines)?
5. Caution is advised: Although the blade edges are rounded, stainless steel can still scratch some delicate surfaces. Always test on a small area or opt for a plastic/nylon blade in these cases.
6. How to maintain the scraper?
   After each use: rinse with hot water, possibly with a mild detergent, disinfect, then dry completely. Visually inspect the blade. Do not leave it soaking for too long.
7. Can only the blade be replaced?
   No, this model is designed as a unit. If the blade becomes worn or damaged, it is recommended to replace the entire unit.
8. How to choose the color?
   The variety of colors allows for the following of an internal hygiene code (for example, one color for meat areas, another for fish, etc.), in order to limit the risks of cross-contamination.
9. How long does the scraper last?
   It depends on usage, maintenance, and environment. With regular maintenance, it can last a long time, but the blade should be replaced as soon as it loses its effectiveness or develops defects.
