IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed,

including the following:

■ Please read all instructions.

■ To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put can opener, cord, or plug in

water or other liquid.

■ Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near children.

■ Turn unit off and unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off

parts, and before cleaning.

■ Avoid contacting moving parts.

■ Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug or after the appliance

malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any manner. Return the appliance to an

authorized service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or mechanical

adjustment.

■ Keep the cord away from the Knife Sharpener and the path of the knife being

sharpened to prevent fire or shock hazard.

■ The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance manufacturer may

cause fire, electric shock, or injury.

■ Do not use outdoors.

■ Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch hot surfaces.

■ Do not open pressurized (aerosol type) cans.

■ Do not open cans of flammable liquids such as lighter fluids.

■ Do not operate this appliance in the presence of explosive and/or flammable fumes.

■ This appliance is intended for household use only and not for commercial or industrial

use.

POLARIZED PLUG

This appliance has a polar-

ized plug—one blade is wider

than the other. To reduce the

risk of electric shock, this

plug will fit into a polarized

outlet only one way. If the

plug does not fit fully into the

outlet, reverse it. If it still

does not fit, contact a quali-

fied electrician. Do not

attempt to defeat this safety

feature by modifying the plug

in any way.

How To Use

1. Plug the cord into a standard, 120-volt electrical

outlet.

2. Press the Door Release Button and the door will

open. (Figure A)

3. Lift the Lever, tip the can on an angle so that the

rim is under the metal post. (Figure B) Press the

Lever down making sure the Cutter is inside the rim

of the can. Because of the hands-free feature, it

isn't necessary to hold the Lever down or to hold

onto the can during cutting.

4. When the can is opened, the Can Opener will stop

automatically. To remove the can, tilt it slightly away

from the unit with one hand and raise the lever with

the other.

5. You may push excess cord back into the unit and

“nest” the plug in the niche under the unit for conve-

nient storage.

CAN OPENING TIPS

• This Can Opener should not be used to open cans

that are designed to be opened by another method,

such as a pull tab, peel-off foil seal, or rolling key.

This Can Opener will not open rimless cans.

• If there is a dent in the rim of the can, open the other end or start the cutting action just

beyond the dent. Cans with heavy seams, uneven rims or odd shapes may cause the Can

Opener to stall. If this occurs, turn the can slightly by hand to aid the cutting action.

KNIFE SHARPENING TIPS

• Clean and dry knives before sharpening.

• Do not attempt to sharpen serrated blades, as this

will smooth their edges. Do not attempt to sharpen

scissors.

USING THE KNIFE SHARPENER

1. The slot in the Sharpener is slanted at an angle for

left and right-hand use.

2. Insert the knife into the slot and carefully pull the

blade through and slightly up towards you. Repeat

until you achieve desired sharpness. (Figure C)

CLEANING YOUR CAN OPENER

1. Before cleaning any part of the Can Opener, unplug the cord from the electrical outlet.

Wipe clean with a damp cloth or sponge.

2. Be sure to dry the unit thoroughly before next use.
