Frequently Asked Questions - Model 15XV Chef's Choice
What type of knives can I sharpen with the Model 15XV?
The Model 15XV is designed for straight-edge kitchen knives. It can also sharpen serrated knives using the dedicated serrated slot (if available). It is not recommended for scissors or tools.
How do I clean the sharpener?
Unplug the sharpener. Use the included brush to clean abrasive residue from the slots. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use water or solvents on the abrasive discs.
Can I sharpen my Japanese knives (e.g., 15-17 degree edge)?
The 15XV sharpens at a fixed 20-degree angle. This may alter the edge geometry of Japanese knives. For optimal results, use a dedicated sharpener with adjustable angle for such knives.
How often should I replace the abrasive discs?
Replace the discs every 3-6 months under regular home use. If you notice reduced sharpening performance or uneven abrasion, replace sooner.
What is the difference between the two stages?
Stage 1 uses a coarse diamond abrasive to set a new edge. Stage 2 uses fine ceramic stones to hone and polish the edge for a razor finish.
Can I use the sharpener on left-handed knives?
Yes, the sharpener works equally well for both left- and right-handed knives as it sharpens symmetrically.
Is the sharpener safe to leave plugged in?
It is recommended to unplug the sharpener when not in use. The unit has an auto-shutoff feature if overloaded, but for safety, always unplug after use.
How long does it take to sharpen a knife?
Typically 30-60 seconds per knife: 2-4 pulls in Stage 1, then 2-4 pulls in Stage 2. Heavier dulling may require more pulls.
Where can I buy replacement discs?
Replacement discs are available on the Chef's Choice website or from authorized retailers. Use only genuine parts for optimal performance.
What should I do if the motor stops running?
First, check if the unit is plugged in and the outlet is live. If the motor overload protection activated, allow it to cool for 10 minutes then restart. If it persists, contact customer support.
