USING YOUR EB 900 KNIFE SHARPENER
BEFORE FIRST USE
Before rst use, remove all packaging and advertising labels/stickers from the appliance.
Wipe the outer surface of the appliance with asoft sponge slightly dampened with
warm water.
PURPOSE OF USE
The Catler EB 900 is suitable for sharpening:
- Chinese-type knives;
- European-type knives;
- Japanese knives;
- ceramic knives.
Do not use the knife sharpener to sharpen sport, serrated or electric knives, scissors
or blades that do not t into the sharpening holes.
THE PRINCIPLE OF SHARPENING
Knife sharpening is divided into three stages: coarse sharpening, ne sharpening and
polishing.
Stage 1
The unevenness and curvature of the blade is removed. This stage is particularly
suitable if the knives are dull.
Stage 2
The sharpening process is completed, creating asharp and precise blade. This stage is
suitable for nishing the sharpening of everyday knives.
Stage 3
The blade is polished and dirt is removed during the rst two stages.
SHARPENING PROCEDURE
1. Place the knife sharpener on adry, clean and solid surface (e.g. atable top or
kitchen counter) well away from the power socket. Make sure that the metal waste
compartment cover is correctly tted.
2. Clean the knife you are going to sharpen with aclean cloth. It is important that
the blade is dry and clean, free of dirt, grease, etc.
3. We recommend that you run the blade through all the holes before turning on
the knife sharpener to see where and how the blade will contact the sharpening
wheels.
4. Insert the power plug into aproperly grounded power socket.
5. Switch on the knife sharpener with the switch. Alight on the switch indicates that
the knife sharpener is switched on.

USING YOUR EB 900 KNIFE SHARPENER
WARNING!
Always switch on the knife sharpener first and then insert the
blade of the knife into the holes with the discs. Otherwise, recoil
and damage to the knife, the knife sharpener or serious injury may occur.
6. Hold the knife to be sharpened in one hand and hold the knife sharpener with the
other hand.
7. Coarse sharpening:
Insert the wide end of the knife near the handle into the left roughing hole and
pull slowly towards you. Do not apply excessive pressure to the knife. The pressure
should be constant and reasonable. Make sure that the blade remains in contact
with the sharpening wheels throughout the sharpening process.
Then insert the knife into the right-hand hole for coarse sharpening and pull
slowly towards you.
Repeat several times to achieve agood and even sharpening.
WARNING!
Never insert the knife tip first into the holes. Damage to the knife,
the knife sharpener and serious injury can occur.
NOTE:
Do not put too much pressure on the blade during sharpening, as it may dull
the blade. If this happens, you need to start again.
8. Fine sharpening:
In the same way, insert the blade into the left hole for ne sharpening and then
into the right hole and slowly pull towards you to ne sharpen the blade.
Repeat several times to keep the blade sharp.
9. Polishing:
Now insert the knife rst into the left polishing hole and then into the right one.
Slowly pull towards you until the blade is smooth and free of dirt.
10. Check the condition of the blade, e.g. by slicing food, cutting into paper, etc. The
knife is properly sharp if you apply minimal pressure to the knife when using it.

10 USING YOUR EB 900 KNIFE SHARPENER
WARNING!
Never check the condition of the blade by running your finger over
the blade. There is arisk of serious injury.
11. If you will no longer be using the knife sharpener, switch the knife sharpener o
with the power switch (the light will go out) and disconnect it from the power
supply.
