CAN OPENING TIPS
■ This Can Opener should not be used to open cans designed to be
opened by another method, such as a pull tab, peel-off foil seal, or
rolling key. This Can Opener will not open rimless cans or cans
with angled corners.
■ If there is a dent in the rim of a can, open the other end or start
the cutting action just beyond the dent. Cans with heavy seams,
uneven rims or odd shapes may cause the Can Opener to stall. If
this occurs, turn the can slightly by hand to aid the cutting action.
■ Frozen juices or foods in cardboard cans should be opened as
soon as they are removed from the freezer. Aluminum lids will not
stick to the Magnet.
KNIFE SHARPENING TIPS
■ Clean and dry knives before sharpening.
■ Do not attempt to sharpen serrated blades, as this will smooth
their edges. Do not attempt to sharpen scissors.
USING THE KNIFE SHARPENER
1. The slot in the Knife Sharpener is slanted for left or right-handed use.
2. For best results, sharpen the
entire blade length in one
continuous stroke carefully
pulling the blade through
the slot and slightly up
towards you. (C)
Repeat until you
achieve desired
sharpness. Wash and
dry knives after
sharpening. Use
caution with blade after
sharpening.
