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.

knife slot located on the back of
the can opener. See Figure 4.
