Double-sided smooth grind
For a double-sided grind, the blade of the knife is sharpened from both sides
toward the cutting edge. Smooth grind is characterised by the knife’s smooth
blade, meaning no waves or notches are ground in it.
NOTES ON THE HANDLING OF THE APPLIANCE
► Prevent that the blade cuts into the plastic housing of the appliance when it
is pulled through.
Accidental cuts into the housing, however, do not compromise the functioning
of the appliance.
► To sharpen knives with ceramic blades, use only sharpening base 2 .
For this purpose, follow the instructions starting from step 3).
► Use the two slits of sharpening base 1 only for very dull knives. For this
purpose, follow the instructions starting from step 1).
1) Always hold the appliance with your left hand.
2) Hold the knife at the handle and pull the blade in a steady movement once
through the left and once through the right slit of sharpening base 1 .
Exert slight pressure when sharpening in the direction of the sharpening
stone to ensure even contact with the knife.
NOTE
► Very dull knives might have to be pulled through more than once.

NOTE
► Use both slits of sharpening bases / equally frequently to achieve
even sharpening.
3) Hold the knife at the handle and now pull the blade in a steady movement
through the left and through the right slit of sharpening base 2 in alternation.
If necessary, pull the blade multiple times through both slits of sharpening
base 2 .
Normally, it is sufficient to pull the blade 2 times slowly (approx. 4 - 6 seconds)
and 2 times quickly (approx. 1 - 2 seconds) through both slits of sharpening
base 2 :
NOTE
► Very dull knives might have to be pulled through more than once.
4) If you believe that the blade has reached the desired sharpness, test it on
a piece of cutting matter.
Be sure to clean the blade again before you might possibly re-sharpen it.
5) To re-sharpen the blade, pull it once more through the slits of sharpening
base 2 in alternation, until the desired sharpness is reached.
6) If you are satisfied with the result, turn the appliance off on the On/Off
switch .
7) Clean the blade thoroughly before you use the knife again, in order to
remove potential grinding residues such as metal dust or chips.

Single-sided smooth grind
For a single-sided grind, one side of the blade runs perfectly straight toward the
cutting edge and the other side is angled up to the cutting edge of the knife. The
angled side is the sharpened side. The single-sided grind can either be smooth
or have small teeth as found on table knives. However, you should only sharpen
blades using a smooth grind with this appliance.
NOTICES ON HANDLING THE APPLIANCE
► Prevent the blade from cutting into the plastic housing of the appliance
when it is pulled through.
Accidental cuts into the housing do not compromise the function of the
appliance.
► Use the sharpening base 1 only for very dull knives. For this purpose,
follow the instructions starting from step 1).
► If knives have a one-sided grind, sharpen only the side of the blade with
the grind. Use either only the right or only the left slit in sharpening base 1
/2 – depending on which side the knife's blade is ground
.
►
To sharpen knives with ceramic blades, use only sharpening base 2 .
1) Always hold the appliance with your left hand.
2) Hold the knife by the handle and pull the blade in a steady movement
once through the left-hand or once through the right-hand slit in sharpening
base1 .
Depending on which side of the blade is ground, exert slight pressure when
sharpening in the direction of the sharpening stone to ensure even contact
with the knife.
