STEP 1 - SHARPENING ACCURACY -

Start sharpening and creates a border with a cutting edge with an angle of precision. Slowly draw the knife towards you through both blade guide slots in Stage 1 (Fig. 1) three times, alternating 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. To do this, lift the handle of the knife slightly as the curved portion of the sheet goes through the guides. To pass the knife through the blade guide slots, use approximately one second for every two inches of blade. For example, to sharpen a knife with a blade of 6 inches, it should take approximately three second to for each pass.

STEP 2 - POLISHING TO REFINE

Completes the process of sharpening the knife polishing until you achieve an edge as sharp as a razor. Slowly pull the knife toward you through the two guide slots in the Step 2 (Fig 1) three times, alternating between the two slots. Each pass will last approximately three seconds or more, depending on as before, the length of the blade of the knife. Complete the process of polishing with a quick stroll (about 1 second) through the two slots of the Step 2.

Before using the knife to cut food, always clean the knife with a damp cloth. If the knife doesn't cut food with ease, repeat Steps 1 and 2.

The electric knife sharpener can be used with knives of alloy, carbon or stainless steel. It is designed to sharpen kitchen knives and the majority of sporting knives. Do not attempt to sharpen scissors,

electrical knives or other serrated knives that cannot be entered freely between the guides.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

• How often should sharpen the knives?
  Grind the knives before 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.
• How can I check if a knife is sharp?
  Use it to cut food. If the knife doesn't cut food with ease, it will be nedd more sharpeness. Repeat Steps 1 and 2.
  The knife is not sharp yet and already I have repeated the process twice. What am I doing wrong?
  Although it is unusual, it's sometimes necessary to repeat Steps 1 and 2 several times. This can occur during the

sharpening process of knives that have not been sharpened properly before. It can also occur when sharpening knives of tempered steel, sheets are have very hard, as some hunting knives.

• For this type of sharpening knives with the sharpener, simply repeat steps 1 and 2 until the knife cut food with ease. According to the state of the blade of the knife, you may need to repeat the process many times. (In extreme cases, up to 10 or more times). The extension of the process will only be necessary the first time you use the sharpener with this type of knife. You can then sharpen the knives in the normal way.
• Sometimes the sharpening wheels will stop when I am passing the knife between the guides of the sheet. Why is this?

The sharpener is designed to require very little effort to move the sheet between the guides. If pressure is applied down too strong when you pass the knife through the guides, the sharpening wheels will be stopped.

• How do I get an edge on the knife uniform? To achieve a uniform edge, make sure to hold the blade of the knife in position parallel to the table or work surface while sharpening. When sharpening the blade tip, leave the handle of the knife slightly as the curved portion of the sheet goes through the guides.
• Sometimes I see sparks when sharpened knives. Why is this?

Knives with high carbon content (usually high quality knives) sometimes produce sparks when it comes into contact with the sharpening wheel. This is normal.

• Can I sharpen knives teeth with the electric knife sharpener?
  Yes, with the exception of the electrical jagged knives or knives serrated on both sides.
• For sharpening knives serrated non-electric, use only the slots of the Step 2 and sharpen only the smoother side of the blade of the knife (the side without the cutouts). Pass the knife through the slots to exercise a very slight pressure.
  Note: Every time you sharpen the knife is removes a portion of the teeth. After a long period of time, it is possible that the teeth of the knife has disappeared completely and the result is a knife of general use.

CLEANING AND CARE

The outer surface of the knife sharpener can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasives. Never immerse the sharpener in water or other liquids. Do not use any type of lubrication with the knife sharpener "Ever Sharp".

The sharpener has two special enclosures in the bottom of the unit to collect metal chips of the knives. Occasionally these receptacles must be drained by removing the red plastic plugs on the bottom of the unit and agitation by removing it from the metal chips that accumulate inside. This should be done approximately once a year under normal conditions of use.
