IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your Kenmore Electric Can Opener, basic safety precautions should always
be followed, including the following:
1. READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USE
2. Before using, check that the voltage of the wall outlet corresponds to the one shown
on the rating plate. Do not attempt to use the appliance with a voltage converter.
3. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). To reduce the
risk of electric shock, this plug will t in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not t, contact a qualied electri-
cian. Do not modify the plug in any way.
4. Do not attempt to operate the appliance if there is damage to the cord or plug,
after it has malfunctioned or been dropped or damaged in any way, or if it is not operat-
ing properly. Contact Koolatron Customer Assistance for information on examination,
repair, or adjustment.
5. Do not attempt to use the can opener if the blade is bent or damaged in any way.
6. Turn the appliance OFF and unplug from the outlet when not in use, before assem-
bling or disassembling parts and before cleaning. To unplug, grasp plug and pull it from
the electrical outlet; never unplug it by pulling on the power cord.
7. This appliance is recommended for indoor household use only. Do not operate in
moving vehicles or boats and do not operate outdoors. Using this appliance for
anything other than its intended use (non-commercial household food preparation) will
void your warranty.
8. This appliance is not intended for use by persons, including children, with reduced
physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, without
supervision and instruction by a person responsible for their safety. Children should be
supervised to ensure they do not play with the appliance.
9. Do not let the power cord hang over the edge of the table or counter or contact hot
surfaces, such as the stovetop or cooking pot. Make sure the power supply cord is out of
the way to avoid damage from the knife blades while sharpening.
10. Ensure the appliance is properly assembled before connecting to a power outlet and
operating.
11. Do not leave the appliance unattended while in use.
12. To protect against electrical shock, do not immerse any part of the can opener,
power cord, or electrical plug in any liquid.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

ing the cutting blade, the cut edges of cans or lids, and knife blades before, during, or
after sharpening.
14. Avoid contact with moving parts.
15. Do not use the can opener or bottle opener to open pressurized cans.
16. Do not use the can opener or bottle opener to open cans of ammable liquids such

ing a can. After opening 10 cans in a row, let the can opener rest for at least 30 minutes
before using it again.

Read these instructions thoroughly and save for future reference. Carefully unpack the appliance
from its packaging and check that all parts are present. Remove any promotional labels or stickers
and safely dispose of plastic bags or small pieces that could present a suocation or choking
hazard.
1. Wipe the electric can opener base and blade assembly with a clean, damp cloth to remove any
dirt or dust. Do not immerse any part of the can opener, power cord, or electrical plug in any
liquid. Do not use abrasive cleansers or scouring pads.
2. Assemble the can opener: Align the tabs on the blade assembly with the slots in the opening
near the top of the can opener front. (Image) Push the blade assembly into the can opener body
and then gently guide the lever downwards until you meet resistance. If positioned correctly, the
blade assembly will settle easily into place.
3. Place the can opener on a at, dry surface and plug the power cord into the electrical outlet.
Tuck any excess cord length into the cord storage compartment.
. Check that the magnetic lid holder is extended. Lift the piercing lever and position the can
against the can rest with the top of the rim touching the locating pin and the bottom of the rim
resting on the drive wheel. (Image)
2. Continuing to hold the can with one hand, lower the piercing lever to allow the magnet to stick
to the can lid, making sure that the cutting blade is positioned inside the can's rim.
3. Press rmly on the piercing lever until the cutting blade punctures the lid and the drive wheel
starts rotating. At this point you can let go of the can and piercing lever. If the can being opened
weighs more than 30 oz（850 g), you must hold the can opener rmly to prevent it from overturn-
ing. The drive wheel will rotate the can until the lid is completely cut through and then stop
automatically.
4. When the can is opened, the can opener will stop automatically. To remove the can, hold it with
one hand and lift the piercing lever with the other. Carefully detach the lid from the magnet and
discard. Be careful not to touch the cut edges of the can or lids as they are sharp.
CAN OPENING TIPS
- Do not try to open cans meant to be opened by another method, such as pull tab, peel-o foil
seal, rolling key, rimless cans, or cans with angled corners.
- This can opener is designed for circular cans with diameter larger than 2 in (5 cm) and height less
than 7 in (17.8 cm) that weigh less than 50 oz. (1.42 kg).
- 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.
USING YOUR BOTTLE OPENER

bottle with the cap against the inside of the metal hook on the top surface of the bottle opener.
