14. Save these instructions

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY

• Notes on the Plug

  • This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
  • To reduce the risk of electric shock, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not modify the plug in any way.

• Notes on the Cord
  The provided short power-supply cord (or detachable power-supply cord) should be used to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. Always plug directly into a wall outlet/receptacle.

  • A short power-supply cord (or detached power-supply cord) is provided to reduce the risk resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a long cord.
  • Longer detachable power-supply cords or extension cords are available and may be used if care is exercised in their use.
  • If a long detachable power-supply cord or extension cord is used:
  • The marked electrical rating of the cord set or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance;
  • The cord should be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over unintentionally; and
  • If the appliance is of the grounded type, the cord set or extension cord should be a grounding-type 3-wire cord.

Getting To Know Your Can Opener

Product may vary slightly from illustration

Before Using for the First Time

1.  Carefully unpack the can opener and remove all packaging materials. Check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition.
2. Handle the cutting lever with care. The cutting blade is sharp.
3. Wash the cutting lever in soapy water before first use. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
4. The motor base may be wiped with a damp cloth.

Assembly Instructions

1. Attach cutting lever to the can opener by aligning the key tabs with the key slots. Push the cutting lever in. (see Fig. 2).
2. Press the lever down to ensure the lever has been properly assembled (see Fig. 3).

Operating Instructions

Can Opener

1. Lift the blade bracket and plug the unit into an electrical outlet.
   Tip the can forward so that its rim is under the locating post and against the drive wheel. Press down the cutting lever and make sure the blade is inside the rim (see Fig. 4).

2. The can will rotate and the blade will cut the can lid open. Because of the hands-free feature, it is not necessary to hold the blade bracket down or support the can during cutting. NOTE: In case the total weight of a can is over 18oz, it is necessary to press and hold the can opener to avoid overturning.

   • Note: The can required to be opened shall be 50mm to 100mm in diameter and 160mm max in height. In the case the total weight of the can is over 510g, it is necessary to press and hold the can opener to avoid overturning.

3. When the can is opened, the can opener will stop automatically. To remove the can, hold it with one hand and raise the blade bracket with the other one.

   • CAUTION: Avoid contact with the cut edges of the can or lids as they are sharp, carefully remove the lid from the magnet and discard.
   • NOTE: The time of continuously opening cans should not exceed 3 minutes.

4. The excess cord can be stuffed into cord storage at the back of the unit. Feed the cord through the notch for convenient storage.

   • Warning: The cans opened with this can opener must be less than 21 oz in weight.

Can Opening Tips

1. This can opener should not be used to open cans 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 or cans with angled corners.
2. If there is a dent in the rim of a can, open the other end or start the cutting action just beyond the dent.
3. 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.
4. Cans with aluminum lids will not stick to the magnet.

Knife Sharpener

1. Before sharpening knives, unplug the power supply from the electric outlet.
2. Place the knife intended to be sharpened in the slot of the knife sharpener located at the back of the unit. For best results, sharpen the entire length carefully by pulling the knife through the slot back and forth (see Fig. 5), until the desired sharpness is achieved. After sharpening is completed, wash and dry the knife.
3. NOTE: Be cautious with the knife after sharpening. NOTE: Carefully route the power supply cord to avoid damage from the knife blades while sharpening.

Knife Sharpening Tips

1. Clean and dry knives before sharpening.
2. Do not attempt to sharpen serrated blades, as this will smooth their edges.
3. Do not attempt to sharpen scissors.

Cleaning and Maintenance

1. Before cleaning any part of the can opener, unplug the cord.
2. To remove the cutting lever for easy cleaning, lift the cutting lever up and pull it out. The blade assembly can be cleaned with a damp cloth, then wiped with a sponge and dried thoroughly. Reverse the procedure to replace the cutting lever.
3. Before replacing the cutting lever, wipe the can opener housing, and area around the drive wheel with a slightly damp cloth or sponge. To remove stubborn spots, wipe surfaces with a nylon cloth or mesh pad and sudsy water, followed with a clean, damp cloth dry thoroughly.
