HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY.
LEARNING ABOUT YOUR
CAN OPENER
SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS
This appliance is for HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY. No user-serviceable parts
inside. Power unit never needs lubrication. Do not attempt to service
this product.
A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk resulting from
becoming entangled in or tripping over a longer cord. An extension cord
may be used if care is exercised in its use. If an extension cord is used,
the marked electrical rating of the extension cord should be at least as
great as the electrical rating of the can opener.
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 unintentionally. Do not immerse in water or other liquids. No
liability can be accepted for any damage cause by non-compliance with
these instructions or any other improper use or mishandling.
POLARIZED PLUG
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. If the plug fits loosely into the AC
outlet or if the AC outlet feels warm, do not use that outlet.
