What types of knives can I sharpen with the Trebs Comfortslice 99319?

The appliance is designed to sharpen and polish domestic kitchen knives, including hardened steel blades. For very hard knives, it may be necessary to repeat the steps several times on first use.

How to use the sharpener correctly?

Wet the suction cups, place the unit on a stable surface, plug it in, turn it on. Pass the knife through the openings of slot 1 (sharpening) three times alternating openings, then into slot 2 (polishing) three times alternating. Each pass should take about 3 seconds for a 15 cm blade. Wipe the blade after polishing.

How often should I sharpen my knives?

For optimal sharpness, polish the knife before each use. If after polishing the knife does not cut well, repeat steps 1 and 2. With heavy use, a full sharpening may be needed periodically.

How long should each pass take?

For step 1 (sharpening) and step 2 (polishing), each pass should take about 3 seconds for a 15 cm blade. Adjust the duration to the blade length (about 1 second per 5 cm). For final polishing, a quick pass of about 1 second suffices.

Clean the exterior with a non-abrasive cleaner. Never immerse the appliance in water or any other liquid. Empty the metal debris tanks by removing the red plastic elements at the base and shaking them.

What if the plug does not fit into the outlet?

Can I use the sharpener for professional knives?

This appliance is designed for household use. Commercial use is not recommended and may void the warranty.

How to empty the debris tanks?

Remove the red plastic elements at the base of the unit, then shake the tanks to drop the collected debris. This should be done about once a year for normal use.

What if the knife still does not cut after sharpening?

Repeat steps 1 and 2 several times. For very hard or previously poorly sharpened knives, it may be necessary to repeat the process up to 10 times or more on first use. After that, a normal pass will suffice.

Informaon :

How oen should I sharpen my knives?

1. Polish the knife prior to each use if you want to maintain a razor sharp edge. Aer extensive use, if you have polished the knife and it no longer slices food with ease, run the knife through both Stage 1 and Stage 2. Although unusual, there are mes when you will have to repeat Stages 1 and 2 more than once. This may occur during the rst sharpening of a knife that has been improperly sharpened by another process previously. It may also occur when sharpening knives of tempered steel which have extremely hard blades.

To sharpen these types of knives with the knife sharpener, simply connue to repeat Stages 1 and 2 until the knife cuts food easily. Depending on the condion of the knife blade, you may have to repeat the process several mes.(in extreme cases, this could be 10 mes or more.) This extended process will only be necessary the rst me you use the knife sharpener for this type of knife. Thereaer, you will be able to sharpen your knife following the normal sharpening procedure.

1. To get an even edge on the knife be sure to hold the knife blade parallel with the table or counter top while sharpening. When sharpening the p of the blade, li up on the knife handle slightly as the curved poron of the blade is drawn through the blade guides.
2. This sharpener is not suitable for electric serrated knives or knives serrated on both sides. To sharpen non-electric serrated knives, use only the slots in Stage 2 and only sharpen the smooth side of the knife blade (the side without the grooves). Draw the knife through the slot using very lile pressure. Note: Each me the knife is sharpened, a poron of the serraon is being removed. Over a long period of me, the serraon on the knife may be completely removed and you may have a knife with a blade similar to a ulity knife.

The knife's cung edge should be kept parallel with the table or counter top (Fig 1), except when sharpening the p of the blade.

To sharpen the p, li up on the knife handle slightly as the curved poron of the blade is drawn through the blade guides. When drawing the knife through the blade guides, allow approximately one second for each two inches of blade. For example, if sharpening a knife with a 6 inch blade, you should take approximately three seconds for each pass.

STAGE 2 – Fine Polishing

Slowly draw the knife through both blade guide slots in stage 2 (Fig1) three mes, alternang passes between the two slots. Each pass should take approximately three or more seconds, again depending on the knife blade's length. Complete the polishing process with one quick pass (approximately one second) through both slots of stage 2.
