to a hard stop.

wheel and the downstroke sharpens the knife.

10 times. A slight click will be heard when the lever travels all the way to the
bottom of the block.
4. With lever all the way down, remove the knife.

WARNING—TO REDUCE THE RISK OF INJURY:
• Keep knives away from children.
• DO NOT touch a knife’s sharp blade edge.
• DO NOT use knives as screwdrivers or can openers. This is not their
intended purpose and can bend or break the blade and cause bodily injury.
• NEVER try to catch a falling knife.
• NEVER put a knife in a sink full of water.
• Keep knives away from the edge of your worktop.
• Carry knives with the blade edge pointing down.
• Wash one knife at a time. Wash with the blade facing away from you.
• Cut on a stable surface, preferably a wood, bamboo, or plastic cutting board.
• After handling a knife, lay it down in a cleared area with the blade away
from the body and a safe distance from the edge of the cutting area.
• DO NOT reach blindly for a knife; reach deliberately for the handle.
• Store knives properly in the Ninja knife block.
•
A sharp knife is a safe knife and provides more control. A blunt knife may
slip because of the added pressure needed to cut.
• Hold knife in place while sharpening.

MOVING THE KNIFE BLOCK
Remove all knives before moving the block. Your block has four suction
cups on the bottom to stabilize the block while you sharpen your knives.
To move your block towards you, gently lift one side of the block and
then the other. Place gently back on the counter and push down to
activate suction cups. If suction cups are not sticking, clean
the counter and the suction cups to remove debris.
CLEANING THE STONE SHARPENING WHEEL
The stone sharpening wheel collects metal shavings over time 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 section below 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
The stone sharpening wheel inside your sharpener is the component
that sharpens the blade edge. Over time, this wheel wears down
and must be replaced. If you sharpen your knives every 2 weeks, it
is recommended to replace the wheel every 2 years. To purchase a
replacement wheel, visit ninjakitchen.co.uk.
TO REPLACE 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. NOTE: There may be metal shavings
inside the sharpener. Wipe with a towel to remove.
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 pinching both sides of it and taking it out of the
wheel holder. Discard.
5 Replace the wheel by placing new 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. Remove your left hand from the lever. 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 t he sharpener is not ja mmed. If it is,
repeat steps 2–8. Store your knives back in their designated slots.
