4. Check the stones. If they do not turn freely, are greasy or are full of metallic build-up, they must
be cleaned. (See “Cleaning the Sharpening Stones,” page 7). If the stones are cracked or
chipped they must be replaced.
5. Oil the sharpener shafts. Place a few drops of Berkel Food Machine Oil on each shaft. Move
the sharpening and deburring stone push buttons back and forth to make sure that the stones
move in and out easily. Also, rotate the stones to make sure they turn freely.
6. Oil the mounting post.
7. Replace the sharpner. Sharpener must be all the way down protecting the top of the knife. Lock

CLEANING SHARPENING STONES
Each time the sharpener is used, the sharpening stones should be examined for cleanliness. Turn off
the slicer, close the gauge plate, unplug power cord and open the sharpener cover. If there is evi-
dence of fatty or metallic build-up in the stones, they must be cleaned. Otherwise, they will not have
the abrasive quality necessary to sharpen. Clean as follows:
1. Remove the nuts and take the stones off the shafts.
2. Soak the stones in a solution of dish soap (i.e. Joy, Dawn, etc.) and water for one hour.
3. Scrub the stones with a stiff bristle brush (Berkel Part # 4975-9237). Rinse thoroughly at a sink.
4. Shake excess water out and pat partially dry with paper toweling or a clean cloth towel.
Set aside to air dry.
5. Once the stones are dry (after 24 hours), oil the shafts with Berkel Food Machine Oil.
6. Reassemble.
CAUTION
Dirty Stones Cannot Sharpen!
IF THE SHARPENING STONES HAVE BECOME COATED WITH FOOD FATS
OR METALLIC BUILD-UP, THEY WILL NOT SHARPEN EFFECTIVELY.
