Hints for Best Use
•The can opener will easily open all standard size cans.
•On some models it will be necessary to position can opener at edge of counter, allowing for clearance to open cans taller than the can opener.
•If there is a bump, dent, or heavy seam in the rim of the can, open the other end of the can or start cutter just beyond the problem area.
•The motor of your can opener is permanently lubricated and will require no oiling.
•To use the cord storage on the back of the opener, push in or pull out the cord as needed.
Sharpening Knives
1.Place cutting edge of knife in the knife slot located on the back of the can opener. See Figure 4.
2. Draw the knife blade through the slot several times.
