Figure B

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. RepeatFigure C until you achieve desired sharpness. (Figure C)
