POLARIZED PLUG (120V models only)

This appliance has a polarized plug (one
blade is wider than the other). To reduce
the risk of electric shock, this plug is
intended to fit into a polarized outlet only
one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do
not attempt to modify the plug in any way.

TAMPER-RESISTANT SCREW

Warning: This appliance is equipped

with a tamper-resistant screw to prevent
removal of the outer cover. To reduce
the risk of fire or electric shock, do not
attempt to remove the outer cover. There
are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Repair should be done only by authorized
service personnel.

ELECTRICAL CORD

1. A short power-supply cord is provided
to reduce the risk resulting from becoming
entangled in or tripping over a longer cord.

2. Extension cords may be used if care is
exercised in their use.

3. If a long detachable extension cord is used:
a) The marked electrical rating of the

power cord or extension cord should
be at least as great as the electrical
rating of the appliance.
b) If the appliance is of the grounded
type, the extension cord should be a
grounding-type 3-wire cord.
c) The cord should be arranged so that
it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on
by children or tripped over.
Note: If the power cord is damaged,
please contact the warranty department
listed in these instructions.

• Read all instructions.

• To protect against risk of electrical shock do not

fi xtures.

to install Spacemaker appliances on cabinets with an overhang. See image
below for recommended cabinet types.

TOP LIP OVERHANG

STANDARD INSTALLATION (FLAT CABINET)

Important: Always wear protective glasses or goggles to prevent injury
when drilling.

Important: Do not align screw holes on the template directly under the
partition between cabinets, as this will prevent you from installing the
appliance properly. Pay close attention to where drill holes will be set so as
not to damage your cabinets during mounting. Drilling through your cabinet’s
partition may cause damage to cabinets and prevent proper installation.

1. Clear countertop under installation area to avoid getting dust or

debris on other appliances or items. Open cabinets and remove
contents to make mounting easier.

2. Clean both the underside and topside of

the bottom panel of the cabinet.

3. Decide whether you will be drilling from

the top down or from the bottom up.

IF DRILLING FROM THE BOTTOM UP:

a. With cabinet doors open, place mounting

template against the surface of the front
edge of your cabinet. Align the thick line
on the template (labeled “cabinet front
edge”) with the lower front edge of your
cabinet (D).

b. Fold the balance of the template up along

the underside of your cabinet, ensuring the
“cabinet front edge” line remains aligned
with the bottom front cabinet edge.

c. Make sure the template is smooth and

fl ush against the cabinet’s underside. Pull
template tight and tape down to hold in
place.

IF DRILLING FROM THE TOP DOWN:
a. With cabinet doors open, place mounting

template against the surface of the front
edge of your cabinet. Align the thick line
on the template (labeled “cabinet front
edge”) with the upper front edge of your
cabinet (E).

b. Fold the balance of the template over into

the inside of your cabinet, ensuring the
“cabinet front edge” line remains aligned
with the upper front cabinet edge.

c. Make sure the template is smooth and fl ush

against the cabinet’s inside. Pull template
tight and tape down to hold in place.

Important: Always ensure you are drilling straight
up or straight down through the marked mounting
holes on the template. Drilling at an angle may
prevent proper installation and may damage
cabinets if the drill bit pierces the partition.

4. Using a 1/32” drill bit, drill from the underside

of the cabinet up or the top down, creating
pilot holes through the 4 holes marked on
the template. This will help guide the ¼” drill
bit in the next step. (F)

5. Switch to a ¼” drill bit and drill straight up

or straight down through the holes that
have just been created. (G)

6. Once holes are drilled, remove tape and

mounting template.

7. Wipe dust and debris off the top side and

the underside of the cabinet surface.

8. Place a washer inside the cabinet over each

of the 4 holes you drilled. (H)

9. Determine what size screws to use by

placing a screw through the hole in the
cabinet without the appliance in place. The
screw should be ½” exposed underneath
the cabinet to ensure the appliance is
properly attached to the cabinet. (I)

Note: Several standard screw lengths are provided
but may not fi t all cabinet sizes.

10. Place one of the screws through each

of the washers covering the holes in the
cabinet, from the inside of the cabinet
down.

11. Hold appliance up to the screws, aligning

the front of the appliance with the front
edge of the cabinet base. The front of the
can opener DOES NOT include the cover,
as indicated on the mounting template.
Make sure there will be enough room to
lift the can opener lever when the cover is
open. Screws in the cabinet should align
with the mounting holes in the appliance.
(J)

Note: It may require two people to ensure the
appliance is held in place while drilling.

12. Screwing from inside the cabinet down

into the appliance holes, use your
drill or screwdriver to tighten the four
screws in place. (K)

Note: Always tighten screws to properly secure
the appliance to the cabinet and to ensure
the appliance does not move or shake during
operation.

13. Pull out cord from cord storage behind

the appliance and plug into a standard
electrical outlet. Extra cord can be
fed back into storage or hung over
cord management hook behind the
appliance. (L)

Note: If you are connecting this appliance to the
receptacle of another Spacemaker

™

appliance
such as the toaster oven or coffeemaker, make
sure you can easily unplug the appliance
following use.

14. Your Spacemaker

HOW TO USE

This product is for household use only.

OPENING A CAN

1. Lift piercing lever.

2. Tip the can so that the rim is under the
locating post, then push down on the
piercing lever, making sure the cutter blade
is inside the rim of the can (M)

Note: Because of the hands-free feature, it is not necessary to hold the lever
down or hold the can during cutting. However, you may have to support very
tall or heavy cans.

Tip: When the can is opened, the can opener will stop automatically.

3. To remove the can, hold it with one hand and raise the lever with the other.

Caution: Avoid contact with the cut edges of the can or lid; they are sharp.
During opening process, the design of your can opener will roll the rim of the can
to prevent sharp edges; however, handle open can and cut lid with caution.

4. Carefully discard the lid from the magnet.

HELPFUL TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Do not use this can opener to open cans with a pull tab, peel-off foil
seal, rolling key or rimless cans.

• Open frozen juices or foods in cardboard cans right from the freezer,
while they are frozen.

• Aluminum lids will not stick to the magnet.

USING THE KNIFE SHARPENER

1. Insert blade to be sharpened with the end of
the blade closest to the knife handle into the
sharpening slot.

2. Carefully press down on the blade and pull it
toward you through the slot in one continuous
stroke. (N)

Important: Do not saw knife back and forth to sharpen. Pull through the
sharpener in one direction with a continuous, slow and even motion. Failure to do
so may dull or damage your blade.

3. Repeat until desired sharpness is achieved.

4. Wash and dry knife before using again.

HELPFUL TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Use caution when washing and drying knives after sharpening.
