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 pro-
tected 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 require-
ments 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 pro-
tective 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 applian-
ce 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 appli-
ance 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.
