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 intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit, contact a qualified electrician to replace the obsolete outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug by modifying the plug in any way.

The length of the cord used on this appliance was selected to reduce the hazards of becoming tangled in, or tripping over a longer cord. If a longer cord is necessary an approved extension cord may be used. The electrical rating of the extension cord must be equal to or greater than the rating of the can opener. Care must be taken to arrange the extension cord so that it will not drape over the countertop or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or accidentally tripped over.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, keep hair and loose clothing away from lid opener and other moving parts of the can opener while using.

Parts and Features Installation

This can opener is designed to be installed under a cabinet or shelf. When selecting a location for installation, consider the following:

• An electrical outlet should be within easy reach of the plug so the cord does not drape over a heating or cooking appliance, a sink or basin, or get in the way of your normal work space. HINT: Before drilling any holes, plug unit into desired outlet and hold can opener in proposed location to ensure cord will reach.

• Do not install can opener above a cooking or heating unit, such as a stove, or above a sink or basin.

1. Remove the mounting template page from the back of the

Use & Care booklet. Align the dashed line on the template with the front edge of the top side of the mounting surface and tape in place. Drill four 3⁄16” (5 mm) holes as indicated and remove the template from the mounting surface.

2. Select the desired number of spacers to use (see Table A

on previous page). Place spacer(s) on top of can opener (if applicable).

3. Insert screw through one of the white

plastic washers with the flat side of the washer away from the screw head (see Figure 1). Insert screw through hole drilled in mounting surface and into corresponding hole in can opener. Tighten several turns. Do not tighten all the way at this time. Repeat with remaining three screws.

4. Tighten all four screws. Do not overtighten.
