How to Use

This appliance is for household use only.

CHARGING PROCEDURES

1. Before first use, you will need to charge the can opener for 24 hours. Subsequent charges as needed should be for 12 hours or overnight. When fully charged, the Gizmo™ cordless can opener is powered to open about a month's worth of cans, based on 6 cans per week (one can – 20 seconds).
2. To charge the can opener, plug the small end of the AC adaptor into the can opener and plug the other end into astandard wall outlet.
3. Before charging again, make sure unit is fully discharged by removing it from the mounting base, holding leverdown and letting unit run until it stops. Then recharge unit for 24 hours following the above procedures. Recharging the unit after each short use may shorten the life of the nickel-cadmium battery.
4. If the can opener doesn't function, make sure that when the unit is charging the AC adaptor is plugged in and theoutlet is not controlled by a wall switch.

TO OPEN A CAN

Note: You may use the Gizmo™ can opener as an independent portable unit at a stove, over a pet dish, or over the sink by pushing unit release lever up to remove unit from the base.

For GC200 series, you may open cans while the unit is mounted as a †Spacemaker^® can opener in its mounting base.

1. Install the blade assembly by fitting the key spindle into the key notch andlowering the operating lever until it is properly seated. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical outlet.
2. Lift operating lever and position a can so that the rim is under the locating tab, then push down on lever, making sure the blade is inside the rim.
   
   If using mounted, it is not necessary to hold lever down or hold the can during cutting, however, you may have to support very tall or heavy cans. If using as a portable, let the can opener "walk around" the can hands-free.

Note: Cans of 28 oz. (784 g) or more (such as stewed tomatoes or large coffee cans), as well as cans 2¹/8" (54 mm) or less in diameter (such as small tomato paste cans) cannot be opened using the unit in the mounted base. For cans of these sizes, attach the unit directly to the can.

3. When the can is opened, the Gizmo™ can opener will stop automatically. Toremove can from a mounted can opener, hold can with one hand and raise lever with the other. If using unit independently, just lift lever and remove unit from can.
4. 
   Avoid contact with the cut edges of can or lids — they are sharp. Take the unit to a trash can, pull lid release on magnet, and safely discard lid from the magnet without touching it.
