Ne: Your electric knife sharpener will sharpen knives of alloy,
carbon steel, or stainless steel. Do not aempt to sharpen
scissors, serrated knives, or any blade that does not t
freely in the blade guides.
WARNING: Never insert the p of the knife into the blade guide rst and
push through. This could damage the knife sharpener and
your knife.
STAGE 1 – COARSE GRINDING: begin sharpening and create a precision
angled edge (see gure on page 7).
1. Hold the knife parallel to the table or counter top, except when
sharpening the p of the blade.
2. To sharpen the p, li up on the knife handle slightly as the curved
poron of the blade is drawn through the blade guides.
3. When drawing the knife through the blade guides, allow approximately
one second for each two inches of blade. For example, if sharpening a
knife with a 6” blade, you should take approximately three seconds for
each pass.
4. Slowly draw the knife toward you through each guide slot in stage 1 three
mes, alternang passes between the two slots.
STAGE 2 – FINE HONING: complete the knife sharpening process by
honing and polishing the knife to an exact razor-sharp edge.
1. Slowly draw the knife though each guide slot in Stage 2 three mes,
alternang passes between the two slots. Each pass should take
approximately three or more seconds, again depending on the blade
length.

Ne: If knife does not slice food with ease, repeat stage 1 and 2.
2. Complete the honing process with one quick pass (approximately one
second) through both slots of Stage 2.
3. Before using the sharpened knife to slice food, always wash the knife
blade with warm, soapy water and wipe with a so cloth.
CLEANING & CARE
1. The outside surface of the knife sharpener may be cleaned with a damp
cloth. Do not use abrasive pads or cleaners.
2. Your knife sharpener has two receptacle plugs on the boom of the unit
for collecng metal lings from your knives. Aer each use, empty the
receptacles by removing the plasc plugs and shake out the metal lings.
3. NEVER IMMERSE THE KNIFE SHARPENER IN WATER OR ANY OTHER
LIQUIDS.
