wheels or to reset the edge on extremely dull or damaged blades. This slot is not
intended for edge maintenance or for use on Asian Style knives unless the angles
of the Asian style blade are above 35° combined. (17 1/2° per side)

KitchenIQ does not suggest using the carbide slot on Asian style blades unless
the Asian blades have an angle of more than 35° combined. Asian style knives
can become damaged if too much pressure is applied to them when run through
carbides. If your Asian style knife is larger than 35° combined, use care and
caution when running the blade through the carbide slot. Use light pressure only
and repeat only as necessary.
Manual Serrated Sharpening Slot
The characteristic scallops of a serrated blade are usually
only ground on one side of the knife blade. For this reason, it
is not recommended that serrated blades be sharpened using
the Interlocking Ceramic Wheels in the electric sharpening slot.
These wheels are designed to sharpen both sides of any blade at
the same time and will not follow the shape of the serrations. For proper sharpening
of your serrated blade, KitchenIQ strongly recommends manual sharpening in the
slot marked "Serrated" as the preferred way to lightly hone a serrated edge. This
slot has triangular shaped ceramic stones that are designed to follow the shape
of your serrations and ensure proper and consistent sharpening for all types of
serrated knives.
Pull-2-Lock Scissors Sharpener
KitchenIQ's patented scissors sharpener sharpens both sides
of your scissors at the same time on both left and right-handed
scissors. The "floating" ceramic rod adjusts to the proper
sharpening angle for your scissors. Usually, three or four strokes
are all it takes to keep your scissors cutting sharp.
