IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against electrical hazards, do not immerse the Chef’sChoice
®in water or
other liquid.

before cleaning.

malfunctions, or is dropped or damaged in any manner.
U.S. Customers: You can return your sharpener to EdgeCraft’s factory for service where
the cost of repair or electrical or mechanical adjustment can be estimated. When the
electrical cord on this appliance is damaged, it must be replaced by the Chef’sChoice
distributor or other qualified service to avoid the danger of electrical shock.
Outside U.S.: Please return your sharpener to your local distributor where the cost of repair
or electrical or mechanical adjustment can be estimated. If the supply cord of this appli-
ance is damaged, it must be replaced by a repair facility appointed by the manufac-
turer because special tools are required. Please consult your Chef’sChoice distributor.

not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in anyway.
