aring have been packed with lubricant at the factory and under
intermittent use the lubricant will last almost indefinitely.
Initial sharpening&reshaping
• CleaThis appliance reshaping the cutting edge from common
angle edge (Fig.2A on page 3) to hollow ground edge (Fig.2B
on page 3)
• Place the knife sharpener on a sturdy table or kitchen coun-
ter top. Press down securing suction feet.
• Remove the twist-tie and uncoil the cord. Plug the cord into
the nearest outlet.
• Press main switch into position "I" (ON).
• Hold the knife handle comfortably and tight enough.
• Place the heel area of the knife in the guide (Fig.3A on page
4), exerting a slight downward and even pressure while grad-
ually pulling the blade towards you with one continuous non-
stop pull (Fig.3B on page 4).
• When sharpening the blade should be kept level to the ta-
ble except when sharpening the tip of the blade. To sharpen
the tip of the blade, lift up on the knife handle slightly as the
curved portion of the blade is drawn through the wheels in
the guide. Certain blades may not have a curve and therefore
it will not be necessary to lift up on the handle as you draw
the tip through the slots.
• Repeat process until the blade is razor sharp.
• Once the desired result has been reached turn of the appli-
ance. Press main switch into position "I" (OFF).
• For each pass a long knife (15 cm) goes through the slit it will
take approximately three seconds. A longer blade will require
more time, for example a 25 cm long blade will take approx-
imately five seconds.
CAUTION!: Do not insert tip of blade first (Fig.4A on page 4) and
do not push the knife forward through the sharpening slot to
avoid damaging them (Fig.4B on page 4)!
ATTENTION! You can see sparks when sharpening the knife. Do
not be alarmed knives that contain high carbon content will oc-
casionally spark when they come into contact with the material
of sharpening wheels.
Sharpening serrated knives
NOTE: Each time the serrated knife is sharpened, a portion of
the serration will be removed. Over a long period of time, the
serration on the knife may be completely removed, resulting in
a knife blade similar to that of a knife with smooth edge.
• By following the procedures below, you should be able to
extend the useful life of your serrated knife for many years.
• When sharpening your serrated knife some serrations will be
slightly reduced
ATTENTION! Do not oversharpen knives!
• When sharpening your serrated knife for the first time, two or
three passes should be sufficient.
• Clean and check the knife for sharpness before usage. If the
serrated knife is sharp, do not continue to sharpen. If you
oversharpen, more of the serrations will be reduced.
Checking for sharpness
• Before using the knife to slice food, always wipe the knife
blade with a damp cloth to remove any metal filings that may
have been deposited during the sharpening process.
• Test for sharpness by slicing food. If it does not slice, repeat
process.
CAUTION!: Do not test knife sharpness by running your fingers
or any part of your body along the edge of the blade. To avoid
injury, handle sharpened knives with extreme care
