SHARPENING THE BLADE

The result of a well sharpened blade is a
regular, even slice thickness. To achieve
this, we recommend you sharpen the blade
periodically:
1. Ensure the machine is unplugged and the
Switch in the "OFF " position.
2. Clean the blade as shown in point Clea-
ning the blade.
3. Press the rubber buttons that protrude at
the back and front of the set to regulate the
contact the stones make with the blade.
4. Plug the machine in and start the applian-
ce up. Then, press the buttons so the stones
make contact with the blade and let them
work for 30 seconds. After this time, stop the
machine and check the blade has been shar-
pened correctly. If it is not sharp enough, let
it work 5 seconds longer and check it again.
5. Clean the blade again, and remove any metal
debris that may have come from the machine
during the process.
6. Keep the sharpening stones clean to ensure
they work properly.
