FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does the scraper scratch surfaces?
   No, the blade has protective rounded edges designed to limit the risk of scratching most metal surfaces (stainless steel, steel, etc.). However, as with any tool, avoid using it aggressively on very sensitive surfaces.
2. Can it be used with any handle?
   The handle must be compatible with Vikan threads (standard format in their color-coded range). This is the connection intended for this model.
3. Is it suitable for food use / in areas of direct contact with food?
   Yes, the materials and design comply with CE standards for food contact (1935/2004), and Vikan guarantees the hygiene properties of its products.
4. Can it be used at high temperatures (e.g. hot equipment, cooking area)?
   The product is designed to withstand high temperatures (e.g. up to ~200°C according to the technical data sheets).
5. What colors is it available in?
   It is available in the Vikan color code: green, blue, red, white, yellow, orange.
6. When should the blade/scraper be replaced?
   As soon as the blade shows signs of wear (lost sharpness, bending, possible nicks) or if it no longer scrapes effectively, it is always safer to replace it before it reaches a complete breakage.
7. Is this scraper suitable for cleaning floors?
   This is not its primary function, but it can be used on lightly soiled floors. For regular floor use, it is better to opt for specific tools.
