5. The edge of the knife blade, while sharpening, should be held in a level position relative to
the top of the counter or table. To sharpen the blade near the tip of a curved blade, lift the
handle up slightly as you approach the tip so that each section along the curved length of
the edge as it is being sharpened is maintained “level” to the table.
6. You may find it helpful to occasionally clean the ultrafine diamond abrasive disks in Stage
2. The need for this will be evident if the sharpening rate in Stage 2 slows excessively. To
clean these disks, unplug the sharpener and then remove the gray plastic knife holding
spring marked #2 (See Figure 11). To remove the spring, insert one finger under the rear of
the spring and lift with a steady pull. The retainer pins will release and free the spring. Save
the pins. Moisten a Q-tip with isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol and hold it against the disk as
shown in Figure 11. Rotate the disk by hand, holding the Q-tip against the abrasive surface
of each disk for several revolutions. Replace the knife holding spring and pins.
7. To increase your proficiency with the Chef’sChoice
®
Model 316, learn how to detect a burr
along the edge (as described previously on page 5). While you might be able to sharpen
well without using this technique, it is the best and fastest way to determine when you
have sharpened sufficiently in the preliminary steps. This will help you avoid oversharpen-
ing and ensure incredibly sharp edges every time. Cutting a tomato or a piece of paper is a
convenient method of checking for finished blade sharpness.
8. Some contemporary Asian knives are dimpled and some contemporary and traditional
Asian blades are made of layered Damascus steel. All of these should be sharpened ac-
cordingly to these instructions depending on whether the knife style is contemporary (two
facets) or traditional.

NO lubrication is required for any moving parts, motor, bearings or sharpening surfaces. There
is no need for water on abrasives. The exterior of the sharpener may be cleaned by carefully
wiping with a soft damp cloth. Do not use detergents or abrasives.
Once a year or so as needed you should remove metal dust that will accumulate inside the
sharpener from repeated sharpenings. Remove the small rectangular clean-out cover (Figure
12) that covers an opening on the underside of the sharpener. You will find metal particles ad-
hered to a magnet attached to the inside of that cover. Simply rub off or brush off accumulated
filings from the magnet with a paper towel or tooth brush and reinsert the cover in the opening. If
larger amounts of metal dust have been created you can shake out any remaining dust through
the bottom opening when the cover is removed. After cleaning, replace the cover securely with
its magnet in place.
