Does anyone have Chef's Choice 290 Hybrid Knife Sharpener? *does 20 & 15 degree*

I was putting it away and on the bottom there is a small plastic lid that says LIFT HERE. So, like Alice, I lifted. Right there.

Underneath was a long thin spool of...I have no idea...possibly fine steel wool? Something carbonized? Whatever it was, it was degrading.

I imagine from the design position that it serves the purpose of the grinding wheel, but in this case, it services both sides of the 20 and 15 degree slots, so four knife positions hit this spool.

And since my life is divided into 2,683 boxes at the moment, I have no clue where the instructions for this product are. And their website was useless for this issue.

WHY, I ask you (after asking myself), why would you put a replaceable part on an object and then NOT MENTION IT in the product's full-page description?

So...does anyone know what I'm talking about and have you ever replaced this part (because it looks easily replaced). And if so, how did you get the replacement part?

It is just the shavings from the blades? More inside

I found this -

"No lubrication is required for any moving parts, motor, bearings, or on sharpening surfaces. Once a year or so as needed you should remove metal dust that will accumulate
inside the sharpener from repeated sharpenings. Remove the small rectangular clean-out cover (Figure 15) that covers an opening on the underside of the sharpener. You will nd metal particles adhered to a magnet attached to the inside of that cover. Simply rub off or brush off accumulated lings from the magnet with a paper towel or tooth brush and reinsert the cover in the opening. If larger amounts of metal or other dust have been created you can shake out any remaining dust through the bottom opening onto a newspaper, paper towel, or other paper sheet when the cover is removed. After cleaning, replace the cover securely with its magnet in place.
The exterior of the Model 290 can be cleaned with a damp soft cloth. Do not use detergents or abrasives"
