CERTIFICATE OF WARRANTY & INSTRUCTION
This cutlery set is made of the purest stainless steel 18/10. The 18% chromium ensures
a high stain and rust resistance and the 10% nickel gives the steel luster and whiteness.
This combination of metals provides lasting performance if properly cared for.
Each piece of fine quality Arshia cutlery has a limited warranty against original defects in
workmanship or materials for a period of Twenty five years (25 Years) from the date of
purchase. This warranty does not cover any damages or defects caused by misuse,
abuse, normal wear and tear or failure to use proper care in accordance with the
instructions provided.

piece will be used for replacement if the original pattern is no longer available.
All knives contain carbon steel to ensure there sharpness for cutting.
Knife blades, made
out of 13% chromium and carbon steel are less oxidation-resistant, but of course
sharper.
Due to the carbon steel content in the knives, they are particularly sensitive to
acid foods (i.e. Vinegar, lemon, citric acid etc.), soaking in water and dishwasher
washing. It is important to hand wash knives promptly and dried immediately to avoid
rusting and discolouration.
Basic Care and Use Instructions
1. Before using cutlery for the first time, wash in hot soapy water to remove any
polishing compound that may be left on the stainless steel. Rinse and dry
immediately.
2. Stainless steel should be washed as soon as possible after use, allowing food to dry
on; exposes cutlery to the complex mix of acids (i.e. Vinegar, lemon etc.) for a long
time can unfortunately promote discolouration. Therefore always rinse cutlery
immediately.
3. Harsh detergents, Acids such as bleach or lemon should be avoided as this can
harm cutlery surfaces.
4. In order to prevent scratches, avoid coarse grain abrasives and steel-wool.
5. Some coloured stains can appear but they will easily be removed with a special
stainless steel cleaning product.
Dishwasher use
1. Load cutlery loosely in the dishwasher, position the cutlery as far as possible from
the heating element. Always remember to load dishwasher with knives pointing down
for safety.
2. Use mild detergent liquids as recommended above.
3. For hardened-on foods use hot soapy water with a soft, non-abrasive brush to
remove food particles prior to placing in dishwasher.
4. Avoid the rinse and hold cycle.
5. Remove cutlery before the last drying cycle as high heat may cause discolouration.
6. Do not overuse cleaning products as they are corrosive. When the dishwashing cycle
finishes, open the door to avoid condensation on the cutlery which could be the
source of corrosion.
Care Instructions Gold Plated Cutlery
Although gold plated cutlery is dishwasher safe we strongly advise you to wash it by
hand. This has to do with the fact that the gold coating is very delicate and washing it by
hand will certainly lengthen the life span of your gold plating. Do not use any chemical polish on gold plated cutlery since it might damage the gold or take it off altogether.
Minimal surface scratch occurs during the use of flatware. Over time it becomes a soft
enhancing patina.
