Important Safeguards

Carefully read all instructions before operating this appliance and save for furt­her reference. Do not attempt to use this appliance for any other than the intended use, des-

cribed in these instructions. Any other use, especially misuse, can cause severe injuries or dama­ge by electric shock, heat or fire.
Any operation, repair and technical maintenance of the appliance or any part of it other than
described in these instructions may only be performed at an authorised service centre. Please
contact your vendor.

• This appliance is for household use only. Do not operate or store the appliance in humid or
wet areas or outdoors. Any use of accessories, attachments or spare parts not recommended by
the manufacturer may result in fire, electric shock and injuries to persons.

• Check the entire appliance regularly for proper operation especially the power cord. Do not
operate the appliance, when the appliance or any part of it is likely to be damaged, to avoid
risk of fire, electric shock or any other damage and/or injuries to persons. The appliance is like­ly to be damaged if the appliance was subject to inadmissible strain (e.g. overheating, mechani­cal or electric shock), or if there are any cracks, excessively frayed or melted parts, or distor­tions, or if the appliance is not working properly. In this case, immediately unplug the appliance
and return the entire appliance (including all parts and accessories) to an authorised service cen­tre for examination and repair.

•Operate the appliance on a well accessible, stable, level, dry, and suitable large table or
counter. Do not place the appliance over a power cord, or near the edge of the table or coun­ter, or on wet or inclined surfaces or where it can fall. Do not place any clothes or tissue or
other objects below or on the appliance during operation, to avoid risk of fire, electric shock,
moving parts and overheating.

• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near young chil-

dren. Do not let young children play with any parts of the appliance or the
packaging! The appliance is not intended for use by children or infirm persons without super-

vision. Do not leave the appliance unattended, when it is in reach of young children. Always
keep the entire appliance dry and clean and where young children cannot reach it. Do not
place any hard and/or heavy objects on the appliance or any part of it.

• Always switch OFF and unplug the appliance when the appliance is not in use and before
moving, cleaning, or for storage. Do not handle the appliance or any part of it with violence.

Do not insert any foreign objects (e.g. clothes) in the slots, when the appliance
is connected to the power supply!

• The appliance or power cord may never touch hot surfaces. Do not place the
appliance or any part of it on or near hot surfaces (e.g. burner, heater, or oven).

• Do not attempt to sharpen scissors, axe blades or any blade that does not fit freely in the
slots. Handle the processed blades with special care, as they are extremely and unexpectedly
sharp. Do not run your finger along the edge to check the sharpness. Do not cut
toward any part of your fingers, hand or body. Never point knifes against persons or lay knives
down in a way that persons could accidentally get injured. Store knives in a safe manner (e.g.

in a knives block). Do not leave knives unattended, when they are in reach of

young children.

• Do not use abrasive cleaners, cleaning pads (e.g. metal scouring pads) for cleaning.
Always clean and dry the knives thoroughly before sharpening to prevent that water and any
pollution will get into the appliance.

• Do not use honing oils, water, or any lubricants with the appliance. DO NOT place the

appliance or any part of it in an automatic dishwasher.

• Some blades are hardened by means of a special technique (e.g. Laser) and will lose there
particular properties when grinded. Thus this type of knives should not be sharpened in general.

Important Safeguards for Electrical Appliances

Place the appliance near a suitable wall power socket to connect the appliance directly to a pro­tected mains power supply with protective conductor (earth/ground) connected properly. Ensure
that the voltage rating of your mains power supply corresponds to the voltage requirements of
the appliance (220/240 V, 50/60 Hz, AC).

The installation of a residual current operated circuit breaker (r.c.c.b.) with a maximum rated
residual operating current of 30 mA in the supplying electrical circuit is strongly recommended.
If in doubt, contact your electrician for further information.

In various foreign countries, the specifications for power supplies are subject to incompatible
norms. Therefore it is possible that power supplies in foreign countries do not meat the require­ments for safe operation of the appliance. Thus, before operating the appliance abroad, ensure
that safe operation is possible.

•If you wish to use an extension cord, it must be connected properly with live, neutral and pro­tective ground conductor.

•Always handle the power cord with care. Always completely unwind the power cord before
use. Do not place the appliance on a power cord. Power cords may never be knotted, twisted,
pulled, strained or squeezed. Do not let the plug or power cord hang over the edge of the table
or counter. The power cord may not touch hot surfaces. Ensure that no one will pull the applian­ce by the power cord. Take care not to entangle in the power cord. Always grasp the plug to
disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.

• Do not place or immerse the appliance or power cord in water or any other liquid. Do not
spill or drip any liquids on the power cord or appliance. When liquids are spilled on the appli­ance or power cord, immediately switch OFF and unplug the appliance. Thereafter, clean the
appliance thoroughly and let it dry naturally. (See: Care and Cleaning)

• Do not process wet or dirty knives.
