become coated with food fats because someone has neglected
to clean the knife blade before sharpening, they will not
sharpen effectively.
At least once each day when the slicer is used, the sharpening
stones should be examined for cleanliness. If dirty, greasy
or if there is a metallic build-up on the ~harpening surface,
clean as follows:
