IV. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: NEVER CLEAN OR MAINTAIN ANY CAN OPENER WITHOUT
UNPLUGGING THE UNIT FROM ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE.
THE CAN OPENER MUST BE KEPT CLEAN.
The Model 270 can opener must be kept clean, not only for the obvious reasons of
sanitation, but more important, for operational reasons as well. The rotary knife of an
electric can opener must rotate freely for the can opener to operate properly. If the knife is
bound by residual food product, the knife will not rotate and wear will not be distributed
around the periphery of the knife.
MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE WEAR, A NON-ROTATING KNIFE
WILL NO LONGER BE SHEARING THE METAL CAN TOP AS
DESIGNED AND METAL SLIVERS MAY OCCUR!
The knifeholder, knife, gear and shield can be removed as follows in order to clean
and maintain the Model 270 can opener.
