Maintenance & Care
There is little maintenance required with your Smith's electric sharpener. To clean
the exterior housing, unplug the unit from the electrical outlet and simply wipe with a
damp cloth.
•
Do not use a powdered abrasive cleaner to clean sharpener.
•
Portable: To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put any part of appli-
ance in water or other liquid.
•
Do not use any lubricant or water to clean the abrasive wheel.
•
Do not use a lubricant on any other component.
Periodicaly, the clean out door on the bottom of the sharpener should be opened and
cleaned. Also try to clear any remaining particles from the collection area inside the
housing before replacing the door.
Reversing, Cleaning, or Replacement of Ceramic Stones
The ceramic stones can be reversed or cleaned to refresh their abrasive qualities.
The ceramic darkens with use as the metal filings collect on the working corners of
the triangular blocks. The two stones can be turned on end or rotated to expose an
unused section of the ceramic. After all possible working surfaces of the ceramics are
well used, the ceramics can be cleaned using a scrub brush and common cleansing
kitchen powder. For replacement stones, call Customer Service at 800-221-4156 or
visit Smith's website at www.smithsproducts.com/replacementparts.
