Frequently Asked Questions - IAN 75468 SILVERCREST

How do I sharpen a smooth-edge knife?

Set the function cap to position ① (smooth edge). Hold the switch down and draw the knife through the left guide (tilted left) and right guide (tilted right) in a single, even motion. Do not apply excessive pressure.

Can I sharpen serrated knives?

Yes. Rotate the function cap to position ② (serrated edge) until it engages. Sharpen only the serrated side by drawing the knife through the opening in the direction of the serration. Note that fine serrations (e.g., table knives) may not need sharpening.

How do I sharpen scissors?

Set the function cap to position ③ (scissor sharpening). Open the scissors and draw each blade separately through the guide, one after the other, while the grindstone is running.

Can I use this sharpener for screwdrivers?

Yes. For slot screwdrivers, insert the screwdriver into one of the two grinding openings ④ on the front of the function cap. The end face will be ground flat. This works in any cap position.

How do I clean the sharpener?

First unplug the appliance. Remove the function cap (turn arrow to top) and the abrade collector. Clean the area around the grindstone with a dry brush. Clean the abrade collector with a brush and, if needed, a lightly moistened cloth. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

What does 'C.O. Time' mean?

C.O. Time stands for Continuous Operation time. It is 3 minutes. After that, the appliance must be switched off and allowed to cool to room temperature (about 30 minutes) to prevent motor damage.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always unplug the appliance after use. Keep it away from moisture and do not use outdoors. Wear protective gloves when handling blades. Ensure hair, loose clothing, and body parts stay away from the revolving grindstone. The appliance is not intended for use by children or persons with reduced capabilities without supervision.

How do I select the sharpening function?

Turn the function cap ⑥ until it clicks into one of three positions: ① for smooth knives, ② for serrated knives, or ③ for scissors. Each position aligns the appropriate guide opening.

Is there a warranty?

Yes, this appliance comes with a 3-year warranty from the date of purchase. It covers material and manufacturing defects. Retain your receipt as proof of purchase. For service, contact the telephone number in the manual (UK: 0871 5000 720, Malta: 80062230).

Can I use the sharpener without the function cap?

Yes. Turn the cap so the arrow points upward and remove it. This allows direct access to the grindstone for certain edges. To replace, align the arrow upward, push the cap on, and turn left or right to lock.

Safety instructions

To avoid potentially fatal electric shocks:

• Protect the appliance against moisture. Use it only in dry rooms, do not use it outdoors or in damp areas.
• Ensure that the power cable cannot be damaged when the appliance is in use, particularly not by sharpened knife or scissor blades.
• Arrange for defective power plugs and/or cables to be replaced as soon as possible by a qualified technician or by our Customer Service Department to avoid the risk of injury.

• NEVER open any housing components, other than those specified herein.

• After use or during extended absences, ALWAYS remove the plug from the power socket. For as long as the plug is inserted in the wall socket the appliance itself is under electrical power.

• Ensure that the power plug is at all times easily accessible, so that it can be quickly and easily removed in the event of potential danger or risk.

⚠️ To avoid the risks of accidents and personal injuries:

• Always check to ensure that the appliance is in a serviceable condition before taking it into use. If there is recognisable damage to the appliance it may not be used. Arrange for it to be safety-checked by Customers Services before using it again.
  • Take steps to ensure that hair, loose clothing and parts of the body do not come into contact with the revolving grindstone ⑤.
• Wear protective gloves so as to avoid injury from sharp blades, or, if you are operating the knife sharpener with the function cap ⑥ removed.
• This appliance is not intended for use by individuals (including children) with restricted physical, sensorial or intellectual abilities or deficiencies in experience and/or knowledge unless they are supervised by a person responsible for their safety or receive from this person instruction in how the appliance is to be used.
• Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Unpacking

• Check that all items listed are available and that they show no signs of visible damage.

• Remove all parts from the packaging and all packaging remnants from the items.

• Retain the packaging, either for storing the appliance or for reuse in the event of posting it to Customer Services for repair.

• Before the first usage thoroughly clean all component parts as described in the section "Cleaning and care".

Placement

• Place the appliance on a stable and slip-free surface.
• Then insert the plug into the power socket.

Adjustment

• To select the required sharpening function ① ② ③, turn the function cap ⑥ until the cap perceptibly engages.
• In the position ② "Knife with serrated edge" the relevant symbol points to the grinder opening (see Fig. C) – however, the cap engages at that point.
• Hold the switch ⑧ pressed down. The grindstone ⑤ revolves continuously until the switch ⑧ is released.

Sharpening

• First present the blade when the grindstone ⑤ is revolving.
• Always draw the knife or scissors back, from the blade stop, in an even movement, not in a repetitive back and forth movement – otherwise the result will be an uneven sharpening.

• Do not apply any great pressure and always sharpen only clean blades, so as to avoid a premature wearing-out of the grindstone.

• Always sharpen knives and scissors so that the blade is at an acute angle to the grindstone (as alluded to in the shape of the opening). Sharpening at the false angle can destroy any blade.
  • After sharpening, remove any possible grinding remnants that may be on the blade with a moist cloth.

If you have selected the setting "Knife with smooth edge" ① (Fig. B):

• Always sharpen knives with a smooth edge on both sides – for this, left and right side sharpening guides are available.
• In the left guide hold the knife inclined to the left, and in the right guide inclined to the right, whilst drawing the blade through.

If you have selected the setting "Knife with serrated edge" ② (Fig. C):

• Sharpen these only on the side with the serration – the draw through direction for the knife is dependant on which side of the blade this is on.
• In general, serrated blades can only be sharpened up to a point. Knifes with a fine sawtoothing (e.g. table knives) do not require sharpening.

If you have selected the setting "Scissor sharpening" ③ (Fig. D):

- Sharpen both scissor blades one after the other. For this, open the scissors out and draw both blades, one after the other, through the guide.

Should you wish to grind a slot-screwdriver 4 flat (Fig. E):

- This is possible in every position of the function cap ⑥. Appropriate to its width, insert the screwdriver through one of the two grinding openings ④ on the front of the function cap (see fold-out side). The end face of the screwdriver will now be ground level and flat.

Certain edges can possibly be more easily sharpened directly on the grindstone ⑤, without the function cap ⑥: For these cases, the function cap ⑥ is removable (Fig. F):

- Turn the function cap ⑥ until the arrow is at the top.

You can now take off the function cap 6.

- To replace the function cap ⑥, hold it so that the arrow is once again at the top. You can now push the function cap ⑥ on and secure it by turning it to the left or right.

Cleaning and Care

To avoid risks of personal injury and damage:

• Before carrying out any maintenance work, first remove the plug from the wall socket.
• NEVER submerse the appliance in water or other liquids! These could damage the appliance. Additionally, there is a potentially fatal risk of electric shock should moisture come into contact with electrical components.

Cleaning the appliance:

• Turn the function cap ⑥, until the arrow is at the top. You can now remove the function cap ⑥ and clean the area around the grindstone ⑤ with a dry brush.
• Dismantle the abrade collector ⑦ and clean it with a brush and, if necessary, a lightly moistened cloth.
• Clean the remaining parts of the appliance also with a lightly moistened cloth, not with abrasive or aggressive detergents. They can damage the surfaces.

- To replace the function cap ⑥, hold it so that the arrow is once again at the top. You can now push the function cap ⑥ cap on and secure it by turning it to the left or right. To conclude, reassemble the abrade collector ⑦ into the appliance.

Maintenance

• The appliance is maintenance-free. No form of maintenance, either on or in the appliance, is intended for execution by the user. In the event of malfunction or apparent damage, make contact with Customer Services.
• For storage, wrap the power cable around the appliance housing.
