CONSUMER SAFETY INFORMATION
This appliance is intended for household use only.
This appliance is equipped with a polarized plug. This type of plug has one
blade wider than the other. The plug will fit into an electrical outlet only one way.
This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try
reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact an electrician to
replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the
safety purpose of the polarized plug.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
1. Read all instructions.
2. To protect against risk of electrical shock do not put cord, plug or can
opener in water or other liquid.
3. Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used by or near
children.
4. Unplug from outlet when not in use or before putting on or taking off parts,
or before cleaning.
5. Avoid contact with moving parts.
6. Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug, or after the
appliance malfunctions or is dropped or damaged in any
manner. Call our toll-free customer service number for information
on examination, electrical repair, mechanical repair or adjustment.
7. The use of attachments not recommended or sold by Hamilton
Beach/Proctor-Silex, Inc. may cause fire, electric shock or injury.
8. Do not use outdoors.
9. Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces,
including stove.
10. Do not open pressurized (aerosol-type) cans.
11. Do not open cans of flammable liquids, like lighter fluid.
12. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not operate any heating
appliance beneath the mounted unit.

appliance, a sink or a basin.

Tips
• The movable magnet may need to be placed onto the lid of smaller cans.
• This can opener is designed to open cans only when mounted under a
cabinet. The motor will operate if the unit is not installed, but do not
attempt to open cans unless properly mounted.
• If there is a bump in the rim of the can, open the other end or begin the
cutting action just after the bump.
• For extremely large or heavy cans, it is recommended that you lightly
support the can as it is being opened.
To Open Bottles
Insert top of bottle so cap is under the
metal hook. Lightly hold the back of
the can opener and then press the
bottle down until cap is removed.
To Open Jars

jar should be held firmly, pushing as far up and back as possible. Turn

forth motion through the sharpener.
To complete sharpening, angle the
blade up (as illustrated) and repeat
the procedure.

sharpened in this unit.

this unit.
