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. For example, if sharpening a knife with a 6 inch blade, you
should take approximately three seconds for each pass.
STAGE 2 – Fine Polishing
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 (Fig1) 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 polishing process with one quick pass
(approximately one second) through both slots of stage 2. Before using the knife to slice food, always
wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth after polishing. If the knife does not slice food with ease,
repeat stages 1 & 2.
3. Cleaning
Wipe clean only the exterior of the sharpener with a non- abrasive cleaner. Never clean the knife
sharpener in water or any other liquid fluencies. Do not use any type of lubrication in order to clean
the sharpener.
Your knife sharpener is equipped with two special receptacles on the bottom of the unit.
These receptacles can be used for collecting metal filings from your knives. This needs to be emptied
on a regular basis by removing the red plastic plugs on the bottom of the unit. By holding the device
upside down you are able to shake out the metal filings that have collected inside. This should be
done about once a year under normal usage. Do not attempt any maintenance or alteration to this
item yourself. This should always be done only by a trained professional.
4. Disposal of the Old Device
Old electric and electronic devices frequently still contain valuable materials. However, they
also contain damaging substances, which were necessary for their functionality and safety. If
these were put in the non-recyclable waste or were handled incorrectly, they could be
detrimental to human health and the environment. Therefore, do not put your old device into the
non-recyclable waste under any circumstances.
PLEASE NOTE
Utilize the collection point, established in your town, to return and recycle old electric and
electronic devices. If necessary, contact your town hall, local refuse collection service or your
dealer for information.
