SHARPENER MAINTENANCE AND CARE GUIDE
Follow these easy tips and instructions to keep your Ceramic Edge sharpener in prime
condition for years to come:
DO's
• Read the instruction manual thoroughly before using the sharpener.
• Clean and dry knives before sharpening.
• Always hold knife parallel to the tabletop so the knife contacts both wheels equally.
• Always pull the knife blade through the wheels, never push your knife

• Use light downward pressure to establish contact with the wheels.
• Unplug sharpener when not in use.
DON'Ts
• DO NOT USE TO SHARPEN CERAMIC KNIVES.

Ceramic Wheels Maintenance
Under normal operation the ceramic wheels will need to be cleaned approximately once annually
to remove the buildup of the metal particles from the surface of the wheel. If
you don't clean the wheels then their cutting capabilities diminish. The felt is
only usable for one cleaning. Replacement felt is available on our website,
KitchenIQproducts.com, or through our Customer Service department. Use
only the provided cleaning brush to clean the wheels.
Step 1. Dampen the brush slightly.
Step 2. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the bush before running it
through the machine. DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO DRIP INTO THE MACHINE.
Step 3. Turn on the machine and run the brush through the wheels while applying light pressure.
Symptom: Sharpener stops running while in use.
Cause: Sharpener has a built in motor thermostat as a safety feature. It protects
sharpener from overheating if left on accidentally for a long period or is being used
improperly.
Solution: If the thermostat shuts down the motor, unplug the sharpener and wait
