• Retain the packaging, either for storing the appliance or for reuse in the
event of posting it to Customer Services for repair.
• Before the first usage thoroughly clean all component parts as described
in the section "Cleaning and care".
Placement
• Place the appliance on a stable and slip-free surface.
• Then insert the plug into the power socket.
Adjustment
• To select the required sharpening function q w e , turn the function
and protective cap y until the cap perceptibly engages.
• In the position w “Knife with serrated edge” the relevant symbol points
to the grinder opening (see Fig. C)– however, the cap engages at that
point.
• Hold the switch i pressed down. The grindstone t revolves continuous-
ly until the switch i is released.
Sharpening
• First present the blade when the grindstone t is revolving.
• Always draw the knife or scissors back, from the blade stop, in an even
movement, not in a repetitive back and forth movement – otherwise the
result will be an uneven sharpening.
• Do not apply any great pressure and always sharpen only clean blades,
so as to avoid a premature wearing-out of the grindstone.
• Always sharpen knives and scissors so that the blade is at an acute angle
to the grindstone (as alluded to in the shape of the opening). Sharpening
at the false angle can destroy any blade.
