Owner Manual

CALPHALON CLASSIC SELF-SHARPENING CUTLERY

 Built-in ceramic sharpeners

 Forged, high-carbon steel

 Labeled handles for easy identification

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your cutlery for the first time, carefully wash by hand using warm water, a liquid

dishwashing detergent and a non-abrasive sponge or soft bristle brush. Rinse and dry

thoroughly.

CUTTING BOARDS AND SURFACES

Use wood, bamboo or polyethylene cutting boards. Do not cut on granite, marble, tile, stone,

stainless steel, concrete or ceramic surfaces as these will dull or damage the cutting edge.

BLADE MAINTAINENCE

Sharpening

The integrated sharpener automatically sharpens straight edge blades every time you remove

or return knives to their proper slot in the storage block. There is no need to bear down or apply

excessive pressure to sharpen knives because the sharpener is designed to work efficiently and

effectively with your natural motion.

Storage

Slots in the stainless steel section of the block have integrated sharpeners, and only knives with

straight cutting edges should be placed in these slots. Knives with serrated edges should be

placed in the remaining slots because these knives do not need to be sharpened. It is important

to always place knives in their correct slot because straight edge and serrated knives have

different sharpening needs.

Store knives in the appropriate slot in the storage block by gently guiding the knife's spine (top)

along the top of the slot until bolster meets the block surface; this safely stores the knife while

preserving its sharp edge.

Use caution when handling and storing knives. As with all sharp items, keep out of reach of

children. Never try to catch a falling knife. Never test the sharpness of the blade by running your

finger along its edge.
