USING OUR HAND-HELD SHARPENER
We recommend you frequently sharpen your knife. The edge will become pushed
out of line after prolonged use. This is what causes knives to become blunt
and not perform at the level they are capable of.
Water Sharpening (best)
- Remove the clear guide, fill the recess under the ceramic wheel with water and replace guide.
- Hold sharpener firmly on a flat surface.
- Align your blade within the guide, slide the blade back and forth through the ceramic wheel 10 – 20 times from heel to tip (applying light pressure) until desired sharpness has been achieved.
- Rinse and dry your knife and sharpener thoroughly.
- Sharpen twice a month (or to suit) to maintain the desired edge sharpness.
Dry Sharpening (quick)
Follow steps 2 – 5, as above.
REPLACING THE CERAMIC WHEEL
Replacement ceramic wheels are sold separately and should be replaced every 12 – 24 months.
- Pull upwards on the clear guard to expose your existing ceramic sharpening wheel.
- Remove and replace with the new wheel.
- Reposition the clear guard then press down to secure.

The blade edge of sharp kitchen knives can be protected by following these tips:

designed drawer unit.

hard or sharp objects when loading the dishwasher
CLEANING THE HAND-HELD SHARPENER
The hand-held sharpener body should be cleaned by hand using a damp micro- fibre cloth and dried thoroughly. The ceramic wheel is dishwasher safe and should be cleaned regularly.
