IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always
be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to
persons, including the following:
• Read all instructions before using appliance.
• Do not immerse cord, plug, or appliance in water or other liquid. See
instructions for cleaning.
• Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used near
children.
• This appliance is not for use by children.
• Avoid contacting moving parts.
• Unplug from outlet when not in use, before putting on or taking off parts,
and before cleaning.
Do not operate any damaged appliance. Do not operate with a
•
damaged cord or plug, or after the appliance malfunctions, or has been
dropped or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to the nearest
authorized service center for examination, repair or electrical or
mechanical adjustment.
Use attachments only if recommended by Toastmaster Inc.
•
Do not place on or near a hot gas or electric burner or in a heated oven.
•
• Do not use outdoors or while standing in a damp area.
• Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter, or touch hot surfaces.
• Do not open pressurized (aerosol-type) cans or cans of flammable
liquid, such as lighter fluids.
• Use appliance only as indicated in these instructions.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
CAUTION: A short power supply cord is provided to reduce the risk of
personal injury resulting from becoming entangled in or tripping over a
longer cord. Extension cords are available from local hardware stores and
may be used if care is exercised in their use. If an extension cord is
required, special care and caution is necessary. Also the cord must be: (1)
marked with an electrical rating of 125 V and at least 10 A, 1250 W, and
(2) the cord must be arranged so that it will not drape over the countertop
or tabletop where it can be pulled on by children or tripped over
accidentally.
POLARIZED PLUG: This appliance has a polarized plug, (one blade is wider
than the other). As a safety feature to reduce the risk of electrical shock, this
plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a
qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

electrical outlet.

4. Raising lever, place can under guide bar and against geared wheel, see
Figure 1.

action. Let go of lever and can will stop automatically when opened.

HINT FOR USING THE CAN OPENER
• To open extra tall cans, place can opener at edge of counter before
wedging can in position for opening.
USING THE KNIFE AND SCISSOR SHARPENER
Turn the unit sideways so that the knife and scissors sharpener is to your
right (see Figure 2).
1. Press down and hold lever.
2. Place blade lightly in either the left or right groove of the knife
sharpener. Draw knife slowly toward you with a slow, even motion.
3. Place blade in other knife sharpener groove and repeat 4 or 5 times,
alternating from one groove to the other until desired sharpness is
achieved. Release lever.
3
4. The larger groove at the bottom is designed especially for scissors. Press
down and hold lever. Place one blade of the scissors in the groove, and
then draw it toward you slowly and evenly. Repeat with the other blade.
5. Wash and dry blades after sharpening.
HINTS FOR USING KNIFE/SCISSOR SHARPENER
• Be sure that blades are clean and free of grease. Greasy or wet blades
may coat the grinding wheel and the blade will not sharpen satisfactorily.
• Do not attempt to sharpen hollow ground or serrated blades.
If the knife has a curved tip, raise the knife handle slightly at the end of
•
each sharpening.
Uneven sharpening may occur if you force the knife blade against the
•
Grinding Wheel.
Do not use the can opener, knife or scissors sharpener for more than
5 minutes at a time. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes after sharpening
blades before using. This will prevent motor burnout due to overheating.
CARE AND CLEANING
Unplug the unit from electrical outlet.
1. To remove lever, hold the can opener facing you. Lift the lever upward to
the highest position (as shown in Figure 1) and push the lever to the
right.
2. Wash lever in warm, soapy water and wipe the outside surfaces of the
unit with a damp cloth.
3. To replace the lever, hold the can opener facing you with the lever in the
lifted position and slide the pivot into the pivot hole. Push the lever to the
left until it snaps into place (see Figures 3 and 4). Lower the lever back
onto the top of the can opener.
4. Store cord in cord storage (see Figure 2).
NOTE: Cutting blade is sharp, use caution.
Any servicing requiring disassembly other than the above cleaning must
