CLEANING THE STONE SHARPENING WHEEL
The stone sharpening wheel inside your sharpener is the component that
sharpens the blade edge. Over time, this wheel collects metal shavings as you
use your sharpener. If you sharpen your knives every 2 weeks (recommended), it
is recommended to clean the wheel every 6 months. Follow the steps in the TO
REMOVE THE STONE SHARPENING WHEEL section to remove the wheel. Rinse
the wheel under running water and use a soft bristle brush to remove any metal
shavings. Towel-dry the wheel immediately before reassembling inside the sharpener.
REPLACING THE STONE SHARPENING WHEEL
Over time, the stone sharpening wheel wears down and must be replaced. If you
sharpen your knives every 2 weeks (recommended), it is recommended to replace
the wheel every 2 years. To purchase a replacement wheel, visit ninjakitchen.com.
TO REMOVE THE STONE SHARPENING WHEEL:
1 Remove all knives from your block.
2 Move the sharpener lever to the bottom position. Rotate block and tilt the block
forward so you can easily access the back. Open the stone sharpening wheel
access door.
3 As you hold the lever in the down position with your left hand, pull the wheel
holder down and towards you with your right hand. The wheel holder should
connect with the snap feature to be held in place.
NOTE: The wheel holder may be greasy and/or oily.
4 Remove the wheel by unsnapping and rotating the wheel pin clip upwards 90
degrees. Slide the wheel pin out and remove the wheel. If replacing the wheel,
discard the old wheel and reserve the wheel pin.
5 Replace the wheel by placing the new wheel, or cleaned wheel, in the wheel
holder. It can be installed in either direction. Insert the wheel pin through the
wheel and snap the wheel pin clip in place.
6 Verify the wheel is installed correctly by spinning the wheel. The wheel should
rotate in the wheel holder. If it is jammed, is wobbly, or easily pops out, repeat
step 5 until it rolls freely.
NOTE: The wheel is meant to be angled in the wheel holder.
7 Gently raise the wheel holder back to its original position inside the sharpener.
Close the stone sharpening wheel access door.
8 Tilt block back so it is standing upright on counter. Move the lever up and down 3
times to ensure the sharpener is not jammed. If it is, repeat steps 2–8. Store your
knives back in their designated slots.
