SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this feature or modify the plug in any way. If the plug fits loosely into the AC outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet. SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS: A short detachable power-supply cord is provided to reduce risks resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

AN EXTENSION CORD MAY BE USED IF CARE IS EXERCISED IN THEIR USE:

• Minimize the risk of overheating by using the shortest UL or ETL listed cord possible.
• The marked electrical rating must be at least as great as that of the product.
• Never use a single extension cord to operate more than one appliance.
• Arrange the longer cord so that it will not drape over a countertop or tabletop where it can be tripped over, snagged, or pulled on unintentionally (especially by children).
• DO NOT alter the plug. DO NOT attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

3. The geared wheel will allow the can to rotate and the blade will cut the can lid open. Because of the hands-free feature, it is not necessary to hold lever down or support the can during cutting.
   NOTE: The dimensions for a can should between 5 cm to 10 cm (2 inches to 4 inches) in diameter. The height should not exceed 14 cm or 5 inches. If total weight of the can is over 510 g or 1.1 lbs, it is necessary to press and hold the can opener to avoid overturning.

4. When the can is completely opened, the cutting action will stop automatically. To remove the can, hold it with one hand and raise the lever with the other hand. CAUTION: Avoid contact with the cutting edges of the can or lids as they are sharp, carefully remove the lid from the magnetic lid holder and recycle.

CAN OPENING TIPS:

1. This appliance will open all standard size cans. It should not be used on cans that have alternate methods of opening (including but not limited to pull-tabs, rolling key and peel-off foil). The can opener should also not be used with rimless cans or cans with angled corners.
2. If there is a dent in the rim of the can, open other side or begin the cutting action just beyond the dent. If the can opener stalls, use a light touch to turn the can to aid the cutting process.
3. Frozen juices or foods in cardboard cans should be opened as soon as they are removed from the freezer. Aluminum lids will not stick to the magnetic lid holder.

SHARPENING KNIVES

Unplug the appliance from the power supply before using the knife sharpener and then place the knife in the blade sharpener. For best results, sharpen the entire length carefully and pull the knife on blade sharpener with back and forth motion (see Fig. 4), until desired sharpness is achieved. After sharpening, wash and dry the knife. The sharpener can also be used for sharpening stationery scissors (see Fig. 5)

NOTE: Do not attempt to sharpen serrated blades, as this will smooth their edges.
