Information : How often should I sharpen my knives?

1. Polish the knife prior to each use if you want to maintain a razor sharp edge. After 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 times when you will have to repeat Stages 1 and 2 more than once. This may occur during the first 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 continue to repeat Stages 1 and 2 until the knife cuts food easily. Depending on the condition of the knife blade, you may have to repeat the process several times.(in extreme cases, this could be 10 times or more.) This extended process will only be necessary the first time you use the knife sharpener for this type of knife. Thereafter, you will be able to sharpen your knife following the normal sharpening procedure.

3. 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 tip of the blade, lift up on the knife handle slightly as the curved portion of the blade is drawn through the blade guides.

4. 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 little pressure. Note: Each time the knife is sharpened, a portion of the serration is being removed. Over a long period of time, the serration on the knife may be completely removed and you may have a knife with a blade similar to a utility knife.

1. Moisten the bottom of the suction feet on the knife sharpener and place on a stable surface.

Connect cord to a polarised outlet only. As a safety feature, this appliance has a polarised plug (one blade is wider than the other). The plug can only be used in a one way polarized outlet way. If the plus does not fit in the outlet, reverse the plug. If you are still unable to fit the plug, contact/ advice a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to alter this safety feature. The unit can be turned on by pressing the ON/OFF switch.

2. You will notice there is a number at the base of each set of slots as illustrated on the overleaf.

The different sides are indicated with the number 1 and 2. Each stage is equipped with two slots, one to sharpen you knifes on both sides. When using the knife sharpener on your knives for the first time; Start with Stage 1 – Precision Grinding. STAGE 1 – Precision Grinding Begins sharpening and creates a precision angled edge. Slowly draw the knife towards you through both blade guide slots in Stage 1 (Fig 1) three times, alternating passes between the two slots. The knife’s cutting edge should be kept parallel with the table or counter top (Fig 1), except when sharpening the tip of the blade.15 To sharpen the tip, lift up on the knife handle slightly as the curved portion 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 Completes the knife sharpening process by honing and polishing the knife to an exact razor sharp edge. Slowly draw the knife through both blade guide slots in stage 2 (Fig1) three times, alternating 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. Before using the knife to slice food, always wipe the knife blade with a damp cloth after polishing. If the knife does not slice food with ease, repeat stages 1 & 2. (Fig. 1)

Wipe clean only the exterior of the sharpener with a non- abrasive cleaner. Never clean the knife sharpener in water or any other liquid fluencies. Do not use any type of lubrication in order to clean the sharpener. Your knife sharpener is equipped with two special receptacles on the bottom of the unit. These receptacles can be used for collecting metal filings from your knives. This needs to be emptied on a regular basis by removing the red plastic plugs on the bottom of the unit. By holding the device upside down you are able to shake out the metal filings that have collected inside. This should be done about once a year under normal usage. Do not attempt any maintenance or alteration to this item yourself. This should always be done only by a trained professional.
