Operation Manual

13
To remove the Sharpening Module, first turn the motor switch to the “OFF” position. Then
press the release button while pulling the Sharpening Module away from the motor
housing (see Figure 16). The Sharpening Module should remove easily. NEVER IMMERSE
THE MOTOR DRIVE SECTION IN WATER OR SPRAY IT WITH WATER.
CLEANING THE SHARPENING MODULE
When the Sharpening Module becomes soiled or contaminated it should be removed as
described and cleaned of food and grease by either of the following two methods:
A. Washing by Hand:
1. Spray the wheels in each stage with liquid dishwasher detergent.
2. Then spray or flood under running water long enough to loosen any attached food, etc.
3. Rinse or spray under a strong stream of warm water.
4. Drain on paper towels.
5. CAUTION… if you elect to towel dry, use care not to loosen or damage the plastic
hold-down spring.
6. If after hand washing the diamond wheels are not bright and shiny they may still have
grease on them. In that event you should consider putting the sharpening module
through a dishwasher.
B. Dishwasher: The Sharpening Module is designed to be washed safely in either
domestic or commercial type dishwashers
1. Spray the wheels in each stage with liquid dishwasher detergent.
2. Put in upper shelf of dishwasher on normal wash cycle.
3. Allow Sharpening Module to dry in the dishwasher, in a position remote from the heaters.
Periodically remove any metal dust that has collected in the two collection cavities that are
located in the base of the sharpener, below the Sharpening Module. With the Sharpening
Module removed, simply invert the motor housing and shake the dust loose. Otherwise
remove with a damp sponge. Because of the proximity to the electrical motor we do not
recommend the use of a water spray or compressed air to remove the loose swarf (metal
filings) from the base of the sharpener
INSERTING SHARPENING MODULE
To reinsert the Sharpening Module into the main motor housing, insert the shaft coupling
end of the Sharpening Module into the guide rails at the right end of the sharpener. Then
gently push the Sharpening Module toward the motor housing until it locks in place. If it
resists snapping into the locked position: (1) Pull the module away from the motor shaft
until it fully disengages; (2) Turn the motor switch ON briefly; (3) Then turn it OFF; (4) While
the motor is still coasting to a stop, push the Sharpening Module into place. It will then
automatically snap into position when the spline coupling becomes properly self-aligned.
