NOTICE This appliance has a polarized plug (one prong is wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way. SHORT-CORD INSTRUCTIONS A short power-supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

Resetting thermal protection Your Waring Pro™ Knife Sharpener is equipped with a thermal protection device to protect the motor from overheating. If the unit stops running under heavy use, turn the power switch off and unplug the power cord. Allow approximately 10 minutes for the motor to cool down. Plug unit back in and continue use. INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE Please read all instructions before you begin to sharpen. 1.
without twisting. Maintain uniform contact on the blade. If the knife is curved lift the handle up as the knife tip approaches the end of the slot, keeping constant pressure on the blade contour. Sharpen the entire blade. An eight(8) inch blade should take about 4–5 seconds per pull. Pull shorter blades through in 2–3 seconds, and longer blades in 6 seconds. Next, repeat with one full-length pull in the left slot of the Coarse grinding wheel.
Additional pulls in the Strop/Polish station will hone the edge even further. Procedure for Sharpening Serrated Blades All types of serrated blades can be sharpened with the Waring Pro™ Professional Knife Sharpener. USE ONLY STEP 3 (STROP/POLISH) WHEN SHARPENING A SERRATED BLADE. This will sharpen the teeth of the serrations and form small blades along the edge of these teeth. Approximately 3 to 6 pulls, alternating on each side of the Strop/Polish station, will be sufficient.
Metal dust will slowly accumulate below the Coarse and Fine grinding wheels. A removable drawer can be found underneath the grinding wheels in the rear of the unit. Occasionally, remove the drawer and wipe with a damp cloth or paper towel. This will remove all of the metal shavings. Replace drawer.
