How many seconds should the slicer be sharpened on the 1st setting?

The best duration for sharpening the slicer on the 1st setting is 10 seconds. This time frame strikes a balance between ensuring the blade is adequately sharpened while also preventing excessive wear or damage to the blade. Sharpening for a shorter period might not effectively hone the edge, leading to less optimal slicing performance. On the other hand, sharpening for a longer duration could lead to unnecessary strain on the equipment or reduce the lifespan of the blade. Therefore, 10 seconds is recognized as the optimal duration for maintaining the efficiency of the slicer.
