Asian Blades; After-Sales Service - Graef Chef'sChoice CC80 Manual De Instrucciones

ASIAN BLADES

The Hybrid® which sharpens at a primary angle of 20 degrees, can sharpen double
faceted Asian blades such as the Santoku which is traditionally sharpened at 15º.
However, for optimum results with all Asian blades we recommend a 15º sharpener
such as the Graef Electric Models CX1 10, CX125 or CC150 as the preferred choice
for all Asian style blades. Do not sharpen in the Hybrid® any single sided, single fac-
eted Asian Kataba knives, such as the traditional sashimi styled blade that is commonly
used to prepare ultra thin sashimi. Stage 2 sharpens simultaneously both sides of the
cutting edge while the sashimi knives are designed to be sharpened only on one side
of the blade. The Graef electric sharpeners listed in the previous paragraph will cor-
rectly sharpen these single sided knives.
CERAMIC KNIVES
The Hybrid® is not recommended for ceramic knives.
SCISSORS
Do not attempt to use the Hybrid® to sharpen scissors.
TEST FOR SHARPNESS
To test for sharpness and cutting ability of your fine edge knives, hold a sheet of paper
vertically by its upper edge and carefully cut down through the sheet a small (but safe)
distance from your fingers. A sharp edge (on a straight edge blade) will cut smoothly
without tearing the paper.
Alternatively try cutting a tomato. The knife should penetrate the skin of the tomato and
cut through it on the first pull without applying significant force to the knife.
MAINTENANCE
1. The exterior of the Hybrid® can be cleaned with a damp soft cloth.
2. Periodically shake out and dispose of the metal sharpening dust by inverting
3. the sharpener and lightly tapping it onto a newspaper, paper towel, or other pa-
per sheet.
4. No oils or other lubricating liquids are necessary with this sharpener.
