1. Verify article 601.735.64 and its instructions. KONCIS uses metal components including stainless steel and aluminium; wash it before first use and handwash only thereafter.
2. Check that the handles and removable insert are seated properly before pressing. IKEA says it can handle unpeeled cloves, but clean trapped residue afterward.
3. After use, open the press gently and remove the small insert. Avoid pinching fingers in the hinge or forcing a stuck component.
4. Rinse garlic fragments from the perforations and use a soft brush in accessible holes. Avoid aggressive scraping with sharp metal implements.
5. Wash the insert and body by hand with mild dish soap and water, not in a dishwasher. Rinse thoroughly and remove remaining moisture.
6. Let every part dry completely, reinsert it securely, and store the press in a dry spot. Stop using it if corroded, warped, or loose.
