8 Issolvi l-problemi
The Winco LC-85 Lobster/Nut Cracker is a simple mechanical tool with minimal components. Should you encounter any issues:
- Difficulty Cracking: Ensure the item (lobster shell or nut) is properly positioned within the jaws. For very hard shells, apply steady, increasing pressure rather than sudden force.
- Ebusija: If the hinge feels stiff, ensure it is clean and free of food debris. A small amount of food-grade mineral oil can be applied to the pivot point if necessary, then wiped clean.
