damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is
dropped or damaged in any
manner. Call Customer Service (see
warranty) to return for
examination, repair, or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not
recommended or sold by
manufacturer may cause fire,
electric shock or injury.

How to Clean Blade Assembly
Never submerge can opener in water.
1. Unplug cord.
2. Wipe can opener with a damp cloth.
Clean around blade area with
toothpick or cotton swab if
necessary.
HINT: Cutting mechanism may collect food
or paper from can labels, and should be
cleaned frequently to maintain optimum
performance.
This appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other).
As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a
polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not
attempt to defeat this safety feature.
CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, do not immerse the can opener in
water.
