Using Your Knife Sharpener:
Step 1 – Precision Grinding
• This begins the sharpening process and creates a precision angled edge.
• Slowly draw the knife towards you through the left and right blade guide
slots in Stage 1 three times alternating passes between the two slots. The
knife's cutting edge should be kept parallel with the table or counter top
except when sharpening the tip of the blade.
• To sharpen the tip, lift up on the knife handle slightly as the curved portion of
the blade is drawn through the blade guides.
• When drawing the knife through the blade guides, allow approximately one
second for each two inches of blade.
Example: If sharpening a knife with a 6-inch blade, you should take
approximately three seconds for each pass.
Step 2 - Fine Honing the Blade
• This completes the knife sharpening process by honing and polishing the
knife to an exact razor sharp edge.
• Slowly draw the knife through both blade guide slots 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.
• Complete the honing process with one quick pass (approximately one
second) through both slots of Stage 2.
Note: If the knife does not slice food with ease, repeat Steps 1 and 2.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to sharpen scissors, serrated electric knives, or
any blade that does not fit freely in the blade guides.
Cleaning Your Knife Sharpener:
WARNING: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning or storing it.
NOTICE: Never immerse the motor base, plug or cord in water or any other
liquid.
• Regularly clean the outside of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth and dry
it with a dry towel. Do not use abrasive creams, steel wool or scouring pads.
Do not use harsh solvents to clean the plastic.
• Your knife sharpener has two special receptacles on the bottom of the unit
for collecting metal filings from your knives. Occasionally, empty the
receptacles by removing the red plastic plugs on the bottom of the unit and
shake out the metal filings that collected inside. This should be done about
once a year under normal usage.
