Operating and Safety Instructions

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS When using this or any other electrical appliance, always follow these basic safety precautions, especially when children are present.

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE USE WARNING-To reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, serious personal injury, and property damage please note the following:

• This appliance is not intended for use by children. Keep the appliance out of the reach of children and pets. Extra caution is necessary when using this appliance near children.

• Always ensure the appliance is unplugged from the electrical outlet and allowed to cool before assembling, disassembling, relocating, or cleaning it.

• Do not leave the appliance unattended while it is in use. Always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet when not in use.

• Do not immerse or expose the Base, Power Cord, or Plug of this appliance in water or other liquids.

• Do not use attachments not recommended or sold by the Manufacturer.

• Do not place appliance on or near a hot gas or electric burner, in a heated oven, or other heated surfaces.

• The knife sharpener is designed so that very little effort is needed to draw the knife through the blade guides. If downward pressure is applied to the knife as it is being drawn through the blade guides, the sharpening wheels will stall.

• Use the appliance in a well-ventilated area. Keep at least 4-6 inches of space on all sides of the product to allow adequate air circulation.

• Keep the appliance away from curtains, wall coverings, clothing, dishtowels, or other flammable materials.

• Do not plug or unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet with a wet hand.3

• This appliance is intended solely for non-commercial, non-industrial, household use in cooking of food for human consumption; do not use the appliance outdoors or for any other purpose.

• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter where it may be tripped over or pulled. Do not allow cord to touch hot surfaces.

• Do not operate the appliance if it has a damaged power cord or plug, if wires are exposed, if it malfunctions, if it is dropped or damaged, or if the motor housing is dropped in or exposed to water.

• This product has no user-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to examine or repair this product yourself. Please review the Warranty Policy on Page 6.

• Do not overload wall outlet, extension cords, or integral convenience holders, as this can result in a fire or electric shock.

• Do not put any stress on the power cord where it connects to the appliance, as the power cord could fray and break. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord is not recommended for use with this appliance, but if one must be used: − The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the appliance. − Arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over or pulled.

WARNING: This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug

(one blade is wider than the other blade) to reduce the risk of electrical shock. This is a safety feature. The plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If you are unable to insert the plug into the electrical outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Never use the plug with an extension cord unless you can fully insert the plug into the extension cord. Do not alter the plug. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

FOR FUTURE REFERENCE4

Before First Use IMPORTANT: Please check all packaging material carefully before discarding as there may be accessory parts contained within the packaging material.

• This begins the sharpening process and creates a precision angled edge.

• Slowly draw the knife towards you through the left and right blade guide slots in Stage 1 three times alternating passes between the two slots. The knife's cutting edge should be kept parallel with the table or countertop except when sharpening the tip of the blade.

• To sharpen the tip, lift on the knife handle slightly as the curved portion of the blade is drawn through the blade guides. On/Off Switch Precision Grinding Fine Honing5

• When drawing the knife through the blade guides, allow approximately one second for each two inches of blade. Example: If sharpening a knife with a 6-inch blade, you should take approximately three seconds for each pass. Step 2 - Fine Honing the Blade

• This 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 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 honing process with one quick pass (approximately one second) through both slots of Stage 2. Note: If the knife does not slice food with ease, repeat Steps 1 and 2. CAUTION: Do not attempt to sharpen scissors, serrated electric knives, or any blade that does not fit freely in the blade guides. Cleaning Your Knife Sharpener:

WARNING: Always unplug the appliance before cleaning or storing it.

NOTICE: Never immerse the motor base, plug, or cord in water or any other liquid.

• Regularly clean the outside of the appliance with a soft, damp cloth and dry it with a dry towel. Do not use abrasive creams, steel wool or scouring pads. Do not use harsh solvents to clean the plastic.

• Your knife sharpener has two special receptacles on the bottom of the unit for collecting metal filings from your knives. Occasionally, empty the receptacles by removing the red plastic plugs on the bottom of the unit and shake out the metal filings that collected inside. This should be done about once a year under normal usage.6
