OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
PRODUCT MAY VARY SLIGHTLY FROM ILLUSTRATIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. Place it on a level
surface, and insert plug into any 120-volt AC electrical outlet (ordinary
household current). Do not use any other type of outlet.
NOTE:
This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug fits in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit into the outlet, reverse the plug and try
again. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
To ensure continued, efficient performance by your can opener, keep
the cutting blade clean.
Can opener should be turned off for 1 minute after operating
for 5 minutes.
TO USE THE CAN OPENER
1. Raise lever, place can under the guide bar and against the geared
wheel. (See diagram A to identify parts.)
2. Press down on lever to pierce lid of can (Diagram B).
This automatically starts the cutting action. The can opener will
continue to cut until the lid is completely severed from the can.
3. Grasp the can, then raise the lever to release the can.
4. Carefully slide the lid away from the magnet, using caution to avoid
being injured by the sharp edge of the lid.
TO USE THE KNIFE/SCISSORS SHARPENER
1. Turn the unit sideways so that the knife sharpener is to your right
(Diagram C).
2. Press down lever.
3. Place blade lightly in either left or right groove. Draw knife slowly
toward you with a slow, even motion.
4. Place blade in other groove and repeat 4 or 5 times, alternating
from one groove to the other until desired sharpness is achieved.
5. This Can Opener/Knife Sharpener can also be used for
sharpening scissors. A larger groove at the side of the knife
sharpener is designed especially for scissors. Place one blade
of the scissors in the groove, and then draw it toward you slowly
and evenly. Repeat with the other blade.
SPECIAL ATTENTION:
Blades to be sharpened should be clean.
Do not sharpen knives that have serrated blades.
