KitchenIQ Model 50142 – Ceramic Edge Gourmet Electric

Knife & Scissors Sharpener

KitchenIQ, a world leader in innovative sharpening products, is proud to introduce an electric

knife sharpener featuring Interlocking Ceramic Wheels in combination with manual sharpening

elements.This unique combination provides a broad capability to suit multiple blade types and

edge conditions.With this one product, you can easily sharpen extremely dull blades, maintain

razor sharp edges on both straight and serrated blades, and sharpen common household

scissors/cooking shears.

Your Ceramic Edge Gourmet Knife and Scissor sharpener will sharpen knives of alloy, carbon or

stainless steel. It is designed to sharpen double- beveled European / American and Asian style

kitchen knives. IT WILL NOT SHARPEN CERAMIC OR SINGLE BEVELED KNIVES.

Traditional electric knife sharpeners work in a combination of numerous steps and only

sharpen one side of the knife at a time. They can often scratch and damage the knife blade.

The Ceramic Edge Gourmet delivers fast and precise sharpening of both sides of your knife

blade at the same time in the interlocking ceramic wheels thus reducing the amount of time

needed to sharpen your knife when compared to sharpening one side of the blade at a time.

Also unlike other electric knife sharpeners, these ﬁne ceramic wheels will not mar or scratch

the blade. If used properly, the interlocking ceramic wheels will not only sharpen the cutting

edge to factory quality, but will also reduce the amount of metal removed from your blade and

extend the life of your knife.

Listed on the following pages are unique features that set our sharpener apart from other

electric knife sharpeners and detailed instructions for each type of knife you are sharpening.

Please read each section thoroughly before using this sharpener.

Featuring Interlocking Ceramic Wheels

The Ceramic Edge Gourmet electric knife sharpener comes with extra ﬁne interlocking alumina

ceramic wheels which provide superior edge producing capabilities while removing minimal

material from your knife edge. Compared to diamond coated wheels ceramics produce a

smoother, more consistent cutting edge which leads to a sharper knife.

Sharpening Angles of the Ceramic Interlocking Wheels

The interlocking wheels were designed to be 17 1/2° on each side to allow

this sharpener to be versatile enough to sharpen a wide variety of knives.

You can use these interlocking wheels to sharpen and maintain both the

double beveled Asian as well as the European/ American wider angled knives.

KitchenIQ selected the 35° combined sharpening angle and the Precision

Machined Edge conﬁguration to provide great initial sharpness while

providing good edge retention.

Manual Carbide Sharpening Slot

Crossed Carbide cutting blades create a preset angle that sharpens

both side of your knife at the same time. They are designed to set the

initial cutting edge on your knife to the appropriate angle of the ceramic

wheels or to reset the edge on extremely dull or damaged blades. This slot is not

intended for edge maintenance or for use on Asian Style knives unless the angles

of the Asian style blade are above 35° combined. (17 1/2° per side)

KitchenIQ does not suggest using the carbide slot on Asian style blades unless

the Asian blades have an angle of more than 35° combined. Asian style knives

can become damaged if too much pressure is applied to them when run through

carbides. If your Asian style knife is larger than 35° combined, use care and

caution when running the blade through the carbide slot. Use light pressure only

and repeat only as necessary.

Manual Serrated Sharpening Slot

The characteristic scallops of a serrated blade are usually

only ground on one side of the knife blade. For this reason, it

is not recommended that serrated blades be sharpened using

the Interlocking Ceramic Wheels in the electric sharpening slot.

These wheels are designed to sharpen both sides of any blade at

the same time and will not follow the shape of the serrations. For proper sharpening

of your serrated blade, KitchenIQ strongly recommends manual sharpening in the

slot marked “Serrated” as the preferred way to lightly hone a serrated edge. This

slot has triangular shaped ceramic stones that are designed to follow the shape

of your serrations and ensure proper and consistent sharpening for all types of

serrated knives.

Pull-2-Lock Scissors Sharpener

KitchenIQ’s patented scissors sharpener sharpens both sides

of your scissors at the same time on both left and right-handed

scissors. The “ﬂoating” ceramic rod adjusts to the proper

sharpening angle for your scissors. Usually, three or four strokes

are all it takes to keep your scissors cutting sharp.

The Interlocking wheels

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Read all IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

thoroughly before using this product.

CAUTION:

• Always sharpen your knife blade from the heel to the tip of the blade, never

back and forth.

• Never insert the tip of the knife blade into the sharpening slot ﬁrst, or push your

knife blade through the sharpening slot. This could damage the knife sharpener

and/or your knife.

• In order to get the best results and to reduce excessive ceramic wheel wear, it

is important that you keep the proper orientation of the knife blade to the wheels.

Always keep the knife blade perpendicular to the counter top, so that the blade

contacts both ceramic wheels equally. It should be straight up and down in the

center of the sharpening slot at all times. Hold your knife securely but comfortably

in your hand and use light downward pressure to contact the wheels.

• Due to some handle designs, you may not be able to sharpen the entire length of

the blade using the ceramic sharpening wheels. In these limited cases, KitchenIQ

recommends using the 2 manual sharpening slots to sharpen these small areas of

your blade.

Asian Straight Edge Style Knives

Sharpening or Light Honing of Double–Beveled Asian Style Knives

Step 1. Turn the power on and insert blade into the electric sharpening slot.

Step 2. Lower the blade to make contact with interlocking wheels. When

your blade contacts the wheels and self aligns itself pull through slot from

heel to tip (Never back and forth) using moderate downward pressure. Use

a smooth consistent stroke to pull the knife blade through the slot at a speed

of 1 second per 2 inches. If the blade curves up to the tip, lift the handle

near the end to sharpen all the way out to the tip. Repeat a minimum of

10 times.

NOTE: Knives made of extremely hard steel may require additional pulls

through the slot when sharpening the edge.

Step 3. Check the sharpness of your blade by cutting a piece of paper or a

fruit or vegetable. If additional sharpening is needed repeat process until sharp but make sure

to clean your knife before continuing. If not turn off power to the machine.

European / American Straight Edge Style Knives

Initial Edge Setting and Re-sharpening Extremely dull or damaged Double-

Beveled European / American knives

Step 1. Insert knife into the manual slot marked CARBIDE and pull through

from heel to tip. Moderate downward pressure is all that is required when

pulling the knife through the slot and lift the knife handle at end to sharpen

tip. Use a smooth, consistent stroke when pulling the knife through the slot.

Repeat a minimum of 10 times. After 10 pulls the knife should begin to pull

thru the slot smoothly. If not, additional pulls are required.

NOTE: Knives made of extremely hard steel may require additional

pulls through the slot when setting the initial edge.

Step 2. Once the initial edge is set using the Carbide slot, turn on the power

to the interlocking ceramic wheels. Insert knife blade into the slot and lower

the heel of the blade to make contact with the interlocking wheels. When

your blade contacts the wheels and self-aligns itself between the two

wheels, pull through slot from heel to tip at a speed of 1 second for every

2 inches of the blade.

Step 3. Moderate downward pressure is all that is required and lift the

handle at the end to sharpen all the way out to the tip of the blade. Use a

smooth, consistent stroke when pulling the blade through the slot. Repeat a

minimum of 10 times. NOTE: Knives made of extremely hard steel may require additional

pulls through the slot when sharpening the edge.

Step 4. Check the sharpness of your blade by cutting a piece of paper or a fruit or vegetable. If

additional sharpening is needed repeat process until sharp but make sure to clean your knife

before continuing. In most instances you will only need to repeat Steps 2-4. In rare cases

though, if your knife is severely damaged and extremely dull, you may need to repeat Steps

1-4 again. If knife is sharp be sure to turn off power to the machine.

Re-sharpening a Dull European / American Double- Beveled Knife

This process requires use of the electric sharpening slot only and should be applied to

moderately dull blades or if you are just maintaining an already sharp blade.

KitchenIQ recommends always performing a light touch up of your knife

before each use.

Step 1. Turn on power to the interlocking wheels. Insert knife blade into

the slot and lower the heel of the knife blade to make contact with the

interlocking wheels. When your blade contacts the wheels and self-aligns

itself between the two wheels, pull through slot from heel to tip. Moderate downward pressure is

all that is required and lift the handle at the end to sharpen all the way out to the tip of the blade.

Use a smooth, consistent stroke when pulling the blade through the slot. Repeat a minimum of

10 times. NOTE: Knives made of extremely hard steel may require additional pulls through

the slot when sharpening the edge.

Step 2. Check the sharpness of your blade by cutting a piece of paper or a fruit or vegetable. If

additional sharpening is needed repeat Steps 1 & 2 in this section until sharp but make sure to

clean your knife before continuing. If sharp, turn off the machine.

Sharpening Serrated Knives (Single or Double Beveled)

Step 1. Insert blade into the manual slot marked SERRATED and pull through

slot from start of serrations to the end. Moderate downward pressure is all

that is required when pulling the knife through the slot because the blade

has to be able to lift and fall as it follows the shape of the serration. Use a

smooth, consistent stroke when pulling the knife through the slot. You will

feel the blade lightly bouncing as you pull it through the sharpening slot.This

is normal and to be expected. Repeat a minimum of 10 times.

NOTE: Knives made of extremely hard steel may require additional pulls through the slot

when sharpening the serrated edge.

Step 2. Check the sharpness of your serrations. If additional sharpening is needed, repeat the

process until sharp.

SHARPENER MAINTENANCE AND CARE GUIDE

Follow these easy tips and instructions to keep your Ceramic Edge sharpener in prime

condition for years to come:

DO’s

• Read the instruction manual thoroughly before using the sharpener.

• Clean and dry knives before sharpening.

• Always hold knife parallel to the tabletop so the knife contacts both wheels equally.

• Always pull the knife blade through the wheels, never push your knife

blade into the sharpening wheels.

• Use light downward pressure to establish contact with the wheels.

• Unplug sharpener when not in use.

DON’Ts

• DO NOT USE TO SHARPEN CERAMIC KNIVES.

• Never use lubricants on the wheels.

• This sharpener is designed to sharpen knives and scissors. Do not sharpen any other types

of blades on this sharpener.

• Never insert the tip of the knife into the wheels or damage to the knife will occur.

• Never use the sharpener if cord is damaged.

• Do not use excessive force when sharpening your knife or scissors.

Maintenance

• Periodically, the clean out door on the bottom of the sharpener should be opened

and cleaned.

Ceramic Wheels Maintenance

Under normal operation the ceramic wheels will need to be cleaned approximately once annually

to remove the buildup of the metal particles from the surface of the wheel. If

you don’t clean the wheels then their cutting capabilities diminish. The felt is

only usable for one cleaning. Replacement felt is available on our website,

KitchenIQproducts.com, or through our Customer Service department. Use

only the provided cleaning brush to clean the wheels.

Step 1. Dampen the brush slightly.

Step 2. Be sure to squeeze excess water from the bush before running it

through the machine. DO NOT ALLOW WATER TO DRIP INTO THE MACHINE.

Step 3. Turn on the machine and run the brush through the wheels while applying light pressure.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Symptom: Sharpener stops running while in use.

Cause: Sharpener has a built in motor thermostat as a safety feature. It protects

sharpener from overheating if left on accidentally for a long period or is being used

improperly.

Solution: If the thermostat shuts down the motor, unplug the sharpener and wait

about one hour for the motor to cool down, and the sharpener will restart. If motor still

Step 3

Reversing, Cleaning, and Replacement of Triangular Shaped Ceramic Stones

The module that holds the manual sharpening materials can easily be removed

from the top of the machine (Fig. 1) and opened so that the ceramic stones can be

reversed, cleaned, and/or replaced.

The brown ceramic darkens with use as the metal dust collects on the working

corners of the triangular stones, thus decreasing their sharpening capabilities.

The ceramic stones can be removed and rotated to expose an unused section of

ceramic or cleaned to refresh their abrasive quality. If rotating to use the other

side, spin each stone 180º then swap positions (Fig. 2). Use a small, nylon brush

to scrub the surface of the ceramic stones with kitchen cleansing powder and

water. After all possible working surfaces of the ceramic stones have been well

used and cleaning the stones does not increase their effectiveness, you should

replace the stones.

Reversing and Replacement of Carbide Sharpening Blades

The module that holds both of the manual sharpening materials can be easily

removed from the top of the machine and opened so that the carbides and the

ceramic stones can be reversed, replaced, and/or cleaned.

Carbides

The carbide cutting blades are reversible and replaceable. When the blades stop

cutting, they can be reversed and used on the other end or replaced.

Step 1. To reverse the blades, unscrew the module as shown in (Fig 1.)

will not re-start, contact customer service at (+1) 800-221-4156.

Symptom: Ceramic stones stop sharpening.

Cause: The ceramic stones will lose their sharpening ability over time, thus reducing

their effectiveness.
