CAUTION: MAKE SURE THAT THE KNIFEHOLDER IS LATCHED AND THE GEAR
IS PROPERLY LOCKED IN PLACE BEFORE OPERATING THE CAN OPENER.
DO NOT OPERATE THE CAN OPENER WITHOUT INSERTING A CAN.
1. The knife should be removed often so that the knife, knife stud and knife holder can be properly
cleaned. Remove the knife holder, which contains the knife stud and knife according to the above
instructions and clean the knife, knife stud and knife holder. After these parts are clean, the knife
stud, which is part of the knife holder, should be examined to make sure that the rubber "O" ring on
the knife stud is in place and in good condition. To greatly reduce the chances of the knife sticking,
the knife and knife stud should be lubricated with vegetable oil. Replace the knife so that the larger
diameter of the knife is toward the front boss of the knife stud. BE SURE THAT THE KNIFE
ROTATES EASILY AFTER IT IS ASSEMBLED ON THE KNIFE STUD.
BEFORE EACH USE, INSPECT THE EDGE OF THE CAN OPENER KNIFE FOR NICKS
OR SIGNS OF WEAR.
2. The factory-made edge of the can opener knife is designed to separate the metal can lid. It will
not function properly if allowed to become dull or nicked. If through wear a knife becomes
excessively dull, it will be difficult to pierce the can and the knife will no longer separate the lid
completely at the end of the cut. Replace the knife when it becomes excessively dull or if nicks
occur on the cutting edge.
WARNING: NEVER TRY TO SHARPEN A CAN OPENER KNIFE. IF THE KNIFE
EDGE IS MADE TRULY SHARP, IT CAN SHAVE OFF SLIVERS.
3. The teeth of the drive gear must be clean and sharp. Remove and clean the teeth of the drive
gear after each use to remove the build-up of food residues. If the drive gear starts to slip on the
bead of the can, its teeth may be worn. Replace the gear by using the previous disassembly and
assembly instructions.
4. The can opener housing and other external parts are made of stainless steel and can be easily
cleaned using a damp cloth.
WARNING: NEVER CLEAN ANY PART OF THE OPENER WITHOUT UNPLUGGING
FROM THE ELECTRICAL POWER SOURCE. NEVER SUBMERGE OR PLACE CAN
OPENER IN WATER.
5. If for any reason the can opener does not function properly, consult the Troubleshooting Guide
for assistance or contact an authorized service agent.
Please read thoroughly before operation and keep for future reference
