What is STUV and How Does It Work?

STUV is a knife sterilization device that uses UV-C technology (253 nm) to eliminate germs and bacteria. Its principle is simple yet effective:

  1. Placement – After washing and drying the knives, simply insert them into the cabinet.
  2. Sterilization – By activating the timer, a UV-C lamp emits radiation that eliminates microorganisms.
  3. Ready to Use – After the cycle (2 hours), the knives are perfectly sanitized and ready for work.

If the door is opened during the cycle, the device automatically stops sterilization to ensure total safety.
