Frequently Asked Questions - EG-1 Salton

How do I assemble the Salton EG-1 cheese grater?

First, wash all parts except the main body in warm soapy water. Attach the desired grating drum (fine or coarse) onto the crank mechanism. Place the hopper on top, ensuring it clicks into place. Secure the body onto a flat surface using the suction feet. Insert cheese into the hopper and turn the crank clockwise.

Can I grate other foods besides cheese?

Yes, the EG-1 can also grate firm vegetables like carrots, potatoes, or nuts. Avoid soft or sticky foods as they may clog the drum. Always cut foods into pieces that fit the hopper.

How do I clean the grater?

Disassemble the hopper and drum. Rinse the drum under running water and use a brush to remove any residue. Wash all removable parts with mild detergent and warm water. Do not immerse the main body in water; wipe it with a damp cloth. Dry thoroughly before reassembly.

Is the grater dishwasher safe?

Only the removable drum and hopper are top-rack dishwasher safe. The main body and crank mechanism must be hand washed to prevent damage. Check the manual for specific part recommendations.

What types of cheese can I use?

The EG-1 works best with semi-hard to hard cheeses such as Cheddar, Gouda, Parmesan, or Swiss. Very soft cheeses (e.g., Brie) may not grate properly and can clog the drum.

Is the grater safe for children to use?

The EG-1 contains sharp grating blades. It is not recommended for children under 8 years old. Older children should use it under adult supervision. The non-slip base and blade guard provide some safety, but caution is always required.

Where can I find replacement drums?

Replacement fine and coarse grating drums are available from Salton's official website or authorized retailers. Use only genuine Salton parts to ensure proper fit and safety.

How do I switch between fine and coarse grating?

Hold the drum and gently pull it off the crank spindle. Align the new drum with the spindle and push it on until it clicks. Ensure it is securely attached before use.

The grater is slipping on the counter, what should I do?

The suction feet may be dirty or the surface is not smooth. Clean the feet with a damp cloth and dry them. Ensure the countertop is clean and dry. Press the grater down firmly to engage the suction. For added stability, use on a non-slip mat.

What is the warranty period?

Salton offers a 1-year limited warranty against manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. Retain your receipt for warranty claims. The warranty does not cover misuse, normal wear, or damage from improper cleaning.

Recharging

The rechargeable Battery supplies energy to the appliance and must be recharged periodically.

1. Pull the Battery out of its housing and insert it in the Charging Base, by sliding the Positioning Lug into the Positioning Groove of the Charging Base.
2. Plug the Charging Adapter into a 120 volt AC electrical outlet. The Indicator Light should come on.

Please note:

1. The Battery will be fully charged after 15 hours and 60% recharged after 6 hours.

2. The appliance will perform better and last longer if used regularly.

3. The Battery will heat up slightly during recharging; this is normal.
4. Avoid recharging at temperatures below 4^ C ( 40^ F) or above 40^ C ( 104^ F). This could damage the Battery.
5. If, after repeated use, the charge does not hold, leave the appliance on until the cylinder stops rotating and recharge the Battery for 15 hours. This process helps to improve the recharging capacity of the Battery.
6. A fully charged appliance will grate about 500g of cheese before recharging becomes necessary.

CARE AND CLEANING

The Salton cheese grater should be cleaned after each use.

1. Remove the Cylinder and wash it carefully under running water, using a small brush.
2. Clean the inside of the Hopper carefully with a damp cloth.
3. Use a damp cloth to clean the outside of the appliance.

Important: Never immerse the appliance, the Charging Base/Adapter or the Battery in water.
