• 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 Magnet.
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.
Cover
1. Your Blade Assembly has been packed in a separate
cardboard insert. Attach it to the can opener by lin-
ing up the key tabs with the key slots, push in and
turn (A) until it locks into position.
2. Plug the cord into a standard, 120-volt electrical outlet.
3. Lift the Lever, tip the can so that the rim is under the
Locating Post, then push down on the Lever, making sure
the cutter blade is inside the rim. (Figure B) Because of
the hands-free feature, it is not necessary to hold the
Lever down or support the can during cutting. However,
you may have to hold the Can Opener Body when
cutting very tall or heavy cans.
4. When the can is opened, the Can Opener will stop
automatically. To remove the can, hold it with one
hand and raise the Lever with the other. CAUTION:
Avoid contact with the cut edges of the can or lids—
they are sharp. Carefully remove the lid from the
magnet, and discard.
5. You may "stuff" excess cord back into the bottom of
the unit and feed the cord through the notch for
convenient storage. (C)
CAN OPENING TIPS
• 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.
• If there is a dent in the rim of a 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.
