Brilio.net - The development of technology has changed many kitchen tools, including coconut graters. In the past, coconut graters were only designed with blades attached to wood or iron. Users had to manually grate the coconut on the blade to produce smaller coconuts.
But now, there are coconut graters designed with machines and electricity. This electric grater makes the grating process easier, faster, without wasting much energy. Users only need to put pieces of coconut meat into the machine, and the blades on the grater will run automatically to grate the coconut meat.
Although it makes the cooking process easier, this electric coconut grater also requires special care, especially in the washing process. The blades on this electric grater are very susceptible to dirt, as is the inside (box-shaped) in the grinding area. Stains from coconut pulp must be cleaned properly and carefully, especially if you want to clean it with water.
To be safer, you can imitate a short tutorial shared by YouTube user surya guna. In one of the uploaded videos, the netizen named Surya also shared a safe way to clean an electric coconut grater.

"There are two parts, the engine part and the grater part. For the engine part, don't let it get wet, because it can short circuit. We will clean it later using water. So, only the grater box part is cleaned," said Surya, as reported by BrilioFood on Wednesday (11/12).
Surya prepared a rough brush and a water hose. This rough brush is used to clean the remaining coconut pulp. While the water hose will be useful for flushing the inside of the grater box. If using a hose, the water discharge that will be flushed onto the grater will be more controlled. This can also prevent water from entering the inside of the machine.

Well, first of all, open the grater box cover located at the back. After that, coat the brush with water and use it to scrub and wipe the cover. Do it repeatedly until the cover is clean.
After that, switch to the grater blade. Rub the part using a brush that has been wetted. Keep rubbing while turning the blade slowly so that the coconut pulp can fall off.

Once done, flush the part with water that is sprayed through a hose. If there is still some residue stuck, scrub it again with a brush. Then flush again with water. Do this carefully until the inside is clean.

Finally, clean the top of the grater box (where the coconut to be grated is inserted) by pouring water on it. When pouring water, don't forget to scrub the part until it's clean.
Once it's clean, wipe the machine with a cloth until dry. To be safer, don't use the grater directly. Of the more than 21 thousand viewers of Surya's video, a YouTube netizen explained this through the comments column.
"Just a suggestion for friends, after washing, try to turn the engine back on for about 1 minute, be careful if water gets into the clack, so the clack will last longer," said YouTuber Andik Santoso.
