*Spam®, **Crisco®, sardines, etc.). This Can Opener will not open rimless cans. • If there is a bump or dent in the rim of the 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. To prevent these lids from falling into the can, stop the cutting action before the can is completely opened. *Spam® is a registered trademark of Geo. A. Hormel Co. **Crisco® is a registered trademark of the Procter & Gamble Co. CORD STORAGE There is a handy cord storage area in the back of the Can Opener. Carefully push the cord up into the storage area. Then nest the plug into the cutout area with the prongs facing upward. (Figure C) USING THE KNIFE SHARPENER (Models EC43 and EC43B only) 1. Turn the Can Opener sideways. The Slots in the Knife Sharpener are slanted at the correct angle for best sharpening results. 2. Press and hold down the Pierce Lever before inserting a knife blade into either Slot. This will start the Grinding Wheel for sharpening. Continue to hold the Pierce Lever 5 Figure D down while the knife is being sharpened. This will lessen any movement across the countertop during knife sharpening. 3. Lower the end of the knife blade which is closest to the handle into either the right or left Slot of the Sharpener until it lightly touches the Grinding Wheel. (Figure D) Pull the knife blade through the Slot, bringing it toward you slowly. (Allow approximately 3-4 seconds per pass for an 8” blade.) 4. For best results, sharpen the entire blade length in one continuous stroke. Repeat in the opposite Slot to sharpen the other side of the blade. Repeat 5 or 6 times on each side.* To get the sharpest edge possible, hone the knife blade by quickly pulling (1 second per pass) it through each side twice. 5. Be sure to wash and dry knives after sharpening. * For most knives, 5 or 6 passes per side will be adequate. However, those knives that are made out of very hard steel or that are very dull, may require more than 6 passes to thoroughly sharpen them. If a knife is not very dull, you may only need to make 2 or 3 passes per side. KNIFE SHARPENING TIPS (Models EC43 and EC43B only) 1. Clean and dry knives before sharpening. Wet or greasy blades may coat the Grinding Wheel and prevent sharpening. 2. Do not attempt to sharpen serrated blades, as this will smooth their edges. Do not attempt to sharpen scissors. 3. If the knife has a curved tip, raise the knife handle slightly at the end of each sharpening. 4. Do not force the knife blade against the Grinding Wheel, as this may cause uneven sharpening. 5. Do not leave the blade in one spot. 6 6. The Grinding Wheel is specially designed to prevent “burning” of the knife blade. If the Wheel stalls or stops, the blade is being pressed too hard against the Wheel. 7. Both the Can Opener and the Knife Sharpener are intended for household use only. Do not use the Sharpener for more than 5 minutes at one time. Allow it to cool at least 15 minutes after sharpening knives before using again. This will prevent motor burnout due to overheating. Care and Cleaning Other than the cleaning described in this Use and Care book, no other maintenance or servicing of this appliance is required.
