---

What precautions should I take with sharpened knives?

Sharpened knives are sharper than you think. Be very careful to avoid injury. Do not cut in the direction of your fingers, hands or face and do not slide your fingers across the edge of the blade.

---

When should the appliance be switched on?

Switch the appliance on before placing a blade in the slots. Never sharpen more than one blade at a time.

---

How much pressure should I use when sharpening knives?

When you sharpen knives, you must exert light downward pressure on the blade. Too much pressure may result in jamming the motor.

---

Do I need to use any lubricants such as oil or water?

It is not necessary to use a lubricant such as oil or water.

---

What kind of knives should be sharpened?

Only sharpen clean knives. If the knife is dirty, you must wash and dry it before sharpening.

---

How much pressure should I exert when sharpening?

When sharpening, exert light downward pressure.

---

What should the motion of the knife be when sharpening?

When moving the knife against the grindstone, maintain a constant speed and don’t interrupt the movement.

---

Which slots should I use when sharpening?

Each time, move the knife from the left slot to the right slot, except for blades that must be sharpened on one side only.

---

How do I sharpen the tip of the knife?

To sharpen the tip of the knife, you must raise the handle of the knife when you reach the tip so that the side of the blade remains in contact with the grindstone.

---

How do I use the appliance?

Plug the appliance in and switch on using the on/off button.

---

How do I use the “coarse” sharpener?

1. Slide the knife into one of the “coarse” sharpening slots (2 slots on the left-hand side of the appliance carrying the number 1) placing the knife handle as close as possible to the appliance.
2. Pull the knife regularly in the blade-guide slot. As soon as the knife comes into contact with the sharpening stone, you must pull the handle slowly towards you, exerting constant, light pressure downwards. If you sharpen a knife with a curved blade, you must raise the handle slightly when approaching the tip of the blade so that it remains in contact with the grindstone. Change slot with each stroke. It takes 4 to 5 seconds for a 20 cm blade, 2 to 3 seconds for a shorter blade and 6 seconds for a blade longer than 20 cm in length. Three strokes per slot are enough for the first step.

---

What are some important things to remember when using the sharpener?

• Pull the knife toward you as soon as you slide the blade into the slot.
• Never push the blade in the opposite direction.
• Make sure that the pressure you exert is sufficient to keep the blade in contact with the grindstone.

---

How do I use the “fine” sharpener?

1. Slide the knife into one of the “fine” sharpening slots (2 slots on the right-hand side of the appliance carrying the number 2).
2. Place the knife handle as close as possible to the appliance and pull towards you. This takes about 3 seconds. Change slot each time and carry out three strokes per slot.

---

How do I remove metal fragments from the blade after sharpening?

1. Switch off the appliance.
2. Slide the blade into the fine sharpening slot again.
3. Pull the knife towards you, once on each side.
4. The particles that came loose when sharpening will have now disappeared.

---

What should I do if my knives are not sharp after following the instructions?

When knives have not been sharpened for a long time, or when they have been sharpened incorrectly, you may need to perform all of the above steps again. Hardened steel knives take more time to become sharp. In this case, you must repeat the steps above until the knives are sharp. We recommend that you sharpen your knives regularly to make sure they are always ready to use.

---

Why does the appliance stop from time to time?

This is a safety feature. You may have exerted too much pressure on the grindstone. Light downward pressure is sufficient, just enough to ensure that the knife stays in contact with the grindstone. If you exert too much pressure, you will not achieve an even result.

---

How do I get really good results?

Leave the knife to rest in the slot. This way, the knife will be positioned diagonally against the grindstone. If you sharpen both sides this way, you’ll achieve good results.

---

Why do I sometimes see sparks coming off the grindstone?

This happens more frequently with knives that have a high carbon content (generally good quality knives) than with cheaper knives. This is completely normal.

---

Can I use this appliance to sharpen knives with serrated blades?

It is possible, except for electric knives or knives that are serrated on both sides. For knives with serrated blades, you can only use the right had side of the appliance. We recommend that you only sharpen the smooth side of the knife. If you sharpen the serrated edge of the knife, the teeth will disappear over time, but you will still be able to use the knife.

---

How do I clean the appliance?

To clean the appliance, do not use detergents or abrasive cleaning products, but simply rub the appliance with a damp cloth.

---

How do I remove the sharpening dust that collects in the appliance?

The sharpening dust collects in the lower part of the appliance. We recommend that you remove after a few uses. Remove the small red caps under the appliance and shake to extract the dust.
