Operating your Breville ikon Electric Knife Sharpener
7
Before first use
Before using your knife sharpener for the first time,
remove any packaging material and promotional
stickers and labels. Ensure the appliance is
switched off at the power outlet and the power
cord is unplugged.
Step 1
Collect the knives you wish to sharpen and ensure
they are clean and dry.
Step 2
Place the knife sharpener on a flat, dry surface such
as a bench top. Insert the power plug of the knife
sharpener into a 230/240V power outlet and switch
the power on.
The knife sharpener will only sharpen straight
edged, stainless steel or carbon steel knives. Do
not use serrated knives with the knife sharpener.
Note
Step 3
Hold the knife you wish to sharpen in your right hand.
Switch the knife sharpener on by pressing and
holding down the On/Off button with index finger of
your left hand.
Step 4
Hold the knife firmly by the handle and ensure that
the blade edge it is held straight, horizontally, and
aligned with the rotating wheel (refer to image fig.1
and 2). Place the thickest part of the blade (located
just above the handle) into the ceramic sharpening
pins of the rotating wheel. With slight pressure, pull
the knife slowly towards you so that the blade of the
knife, from the thick end of the blade to the tip,
passes through the ceramic sharpening pins (this will
take approximately 3 to 4 seconds). Switch the knife
sharpener off by releasing the On/Off button.
