FAQs
Is the blade sharp enough to cut fingers?
The blade is designed for cutting dough, not skin. While it is effective for prep work, the edges are rounded to prioritize safety in high-paced kitchen environments.
Can I use this on non-stick surfaces?
While the steel is high quality, always exercise caution on non-stick coatings. Use minimal pressure to avoid marking the surface.
Is this tool dishwasher safe?
Yes, the materials are rated for high temperatures and are fully compatible with industrial and domestic dishwasher cycles.
What is the purpose of the different colors?
The Vikan color-coded range (Blue, Green, Red, Orange, White) helps food facilities implement color-coding to prevent cross-contamination between different food types or zones.
Can it be used in a freezer?
Yes, the product is rated down to -20°C, making it suitable for handling frozen dough or cleaning cold storage environments.
Troubleshooting
Sticky residue remains on the handle
Soak the handle in warm, soapy water and use a soft bristle brush to remove debris from the finger rest crevices.
Blade surface shows dullness or light buildup
Use a non-abrasive stainless steel polish or a dedicated food-safe scourer to restore the blade finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
There is no setup required for this tool; it is ready for use immediately. To maintain optimal hygiene, clean the scraper after every use using standard food-safe detergents. It is suitable for automated dishwasher cleaning given its polypropylene and stainless steel composition. Always ensure the tool is completely dry before hanging it by the integrated hole to prevent water accumulation near the handle connection. The tool is compatible with HACCP-compliant color-coding systems; ensure your blue scraper remains in the designated zone to prevent cross-contamination.
