Using the can opener

1 Ensure that the lever is in position with the magnet housing fully located. 2 Plug the appliance into the power supply. 3 Lift the lever to the open position. 4 Hold the can with the top rim resting under the metal guide pin and the can resting on the drive wheel . 5 Press the lever lightly down to start the motor. The self-starting blade will then pierce the can and commence cutting. 6 The can will be held fixed in position with the magnet resting against the lid. Large or wide cans may require extra support from the user. 7 Once the can is open, the motor will automatically stop, retaining the can and lid safely in place. 8 To remove, lift the lever whilst holding the can. 9 With the exception of aluminium cans, the lid will be retained by the magnet. 10 For tidiness, any unwanted length of cord can be stowed inside the appliance.

Using the bottle opener

When opening tall bottles, the unit should be used towards the edge of a work top. 1 Position the bottle with the cap under the front rim of the bottle opener. 2 Push down the bottle to remove the cap whilst steadying the unit with one hand.

Using the knife sharpener

1 With the can opener sideways on, place the knife into one of the recesses. 2 Press the lever down and gradually draw it towards yourself. Then place the knife in the other recess and repeat. Take care not to allow the knife to cut into the body of the can opener. 3 Repeat this cycle several times in order to sharpen the knife satisfactorily. 4 The grinding wheel may jam if too much pressure is applied on the knife. Lift the knife slightly to release the wheel. NOTE: Knives without a serrated edge, preferably carbon steel are most suitable for sharpening.
