RESHARPENING CERAMIC KNIVES
In order to freshen up the edge of your ceramic knives, it is not necessary to sharpen in stage 1
or stage 2. Simply use Stage 3 with 4-5 pairs of slow alternating passes (take about 2 seconds
per inch of blade) and then test for sharpness. If the knife is still not sufficiently sharp, try
another 2-3 pairs of alternating pulls. The knife should be paper-cutting sharp.
The "re sharpening" process should not be used if the ceramic knife edge is chipped or very dull.
In that case, see Instructions for a complete sharpening thorough all 3 stages.
CLEANING THE SHARPENING MODULE
When the Sharpening Module becomes soiled or contaminated it should be removed as
described in the Model 2100 sharpener manual and cleaned of food and grease by either of the
following two methods:
A. Washing by Hand:
1. Spray the wheels in each stage with liquid dishwasher detergent.
2. Then spray or flood under running water long enough to loosen any attached food, etc.
3. Rinse or spray under a strong stream of warm water.
4. Drain on paper towels.
5. CAUTION... if you elect to towel dry, use care not to loosen or damage the plastic
hold-down spring.
6. If after hand washing the diamond wheels are not bright and shiny they may still have
grease on them. In that event you should consider putting the sharpening module
through a dishwasher.
B. Dishwasher: The Ceramic Sharpening Module is designed to be washed safely in
either domestic or commercial type dishwashers
1. Spray the wheels in each stage with liquid dishwasher detergent.
2. Put in upper shelf of dishwasher on normal wash cycle.
3. Allow the Ceramic Sharpening Module to dry in the dishwasher, in a position remote
from the heaters.
Periodically remove any ceramic dust that has collected in the two collection cavities that are
located in the base of the sharpener, below the Sharpening Module. With the Ceramic Sharpening
Module removed, simply invert the motor housing and shake the dust loose or use a small
vacuum cleaner. Otherwise remove with a damp sponge. Because of the proximity to the
electrical motor we do not recommend the use of a water spray or compressed air to
remove the loose ceramic dust from the base of the sharpener.
