CLEANING & CAREHOW TO OPERATE
Ca-
STAGE 1 – COARSE GRINDING: begin sharpening and create a
precision angled edge.
1. Hold the knife parallel to the table or counter top, except when
sharpening the tip of the blade.
2. To sharpen the tip, lift up on the knife handle slightly as the
curved portion 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 times, alternating 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 times, alternating passes between the two slots.
Each pass should take approximately three or more seconds,
again depending on the knife blade’s length.
2. Complete the honing process with one quick pass (approximately
one second) through both slots of Stage 2.
3. Before using the knife to slice food, always wipe the knife blade with
a damp cloth.
NOTE: If knife does not slice food with ease, repeat Stage 1 and 2.
NOTE: Your electric knife sharpener will sharpen knives of alloy, carbon
steel, or stainless steel. Do not attempt to sharpen scissors, serrated
knives, or any blade that does not t freely in the blade guides.
WARNING: Never insert the tip of the knife into the blade guide rst and
push through. This could damage the knife sharpener and your knife.
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 bottom of
the unit for collecting metal lings from your knives.
After each use,empty the receptacles by removing the plastic plugs
and shake out the metal lings.
3. NEVER IMMERSE THE KNIFE SHARPENER IN WATER OR ANY
OTHER LIQUIDS.
