SHARPENING SMOOTH KNIVES
1.
Plug the appliance to the power outlet, then turn it on using the switch.
2.
Insert the knife into the left hole of the smooth knife sharpening slot (3), so that the handle is
as close as possible to the grinding discs. When you hear a distinctive sound of blade touching
the grinding discs, start dragging the knife towards you by pressing it slightly downwards.
3.
Maintain the same pressure on the grinding discs. If the blade is curved, raise the handle
when the knife tip is at the end position, maintaining constant pressure downwards. The
blade should be sharpened along its entire length.
4.
A single stroke of a 20 cm blade through the slot shall take approx. 5 seconds - approx. 2-3
seconds in case of shorter, and approx. 6 seconds in case of longer blades.
5.
Repeat the process by inserting the blade into the right hole of the slot.
6.
Change the hole after each stroke to ensure even sharpening along the blade.
7.
Perform no more than 3-4 strokes at each hole
NOTE! For very blunt knives perform a larger number of strokes through each hole of the slot.
