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 dam-
aged 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.
• To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not operate any heating
appliance beneath the mounted unit.
• Do not install the unit over or near any portion of a heating or cooking
appliance or a sink or basin.
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 10A., 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.
This product is for household use only.
HOW TO INSTALL YOUR UNDER-CABINET CAN OPENER
1. This can opener is designed to be installed under a cabinet
(see Figure 1). The hardware for installation is packaged in a separate
plastic bag.
To select a location for installation please consider the following:
A) An electrical outlet should be within easy reach of the cord so
that it will not drape over heating appliances or get in the way
of your normal work area.
B) Do not install above a cooking or heating area such as a stove.
2. Position the mounting bracket at least 4 inches from the wall and leave
sufficient room behind the can opener to insert a knife for sharpening.
Use the included mounting template to mark the location of the screw
holes.
3. Re-check that the unit is positioned in the desired area before drilling
the holes in the cabinet. Using a
3
⁄16inch drill bit, drill the 4 holes in the
cabinet.
NOTE: If the cabinet has an overhang (see template) you must use a
spacer. The spacer should be the same thickness as the amount of
overhang. The outside dimensions of the spacer are provided on the
template. If a spacer is used, longer #8 x 32 machine screws are
required. The screws should be 1
7
⁄8inches under the head plus the
thickness of the spacer.
4. The four screws may be installed from the top down or from the
bottom up (see Figure 2). If installed from the top, be sure the bottom of
the screw does not interfere with the body of the can opener and
prevent assembly. If this occurs you will need to trim off the excessive
screw length or you may place a spacer under the screw head. Place
the hex nuts in the hex shaped recess of the mounting bracket and hold
in place with the end of a pencil until you engage the threads.
NOTE: Do not tighten the screw all the way until you have inser ted all
4 screws. Tighten all four screws. Insert the unit into the bracket
(see Figure 3). Lock can opener into place by turning Removable
Locking Knob clockwise (see Figure 4). Do not over-tighten.

HOW TO USE YOUR UNDER-CABINET CAN OPENER
1. Attach Piercing Lever as shown in Figure 6.
2. Raise piercing lever and place the rim of a can at an angle behind the
piercing lever.

down until the lid is completely cut. Then it will stop automatically.
4. Hold the can and raise the lever to release the can.
5. Carefully slide the lid away from the magnet.
TIPS
• This can opener is designed to open cans only when mounted under a
cabinet. The motor will operate if the unit is not mounted, but do not
attempt to open cans unless properly mounted.
• If there is a ridge in the rim of the can, open the other end or begin the
cutting action immediately after the ridge.
• For extremely large or heavy cans, it is recommended that you lightly
support the can as it is being opened.
TO OPEN BOTTLES
Insert the top of the bottle so the cap is under the metal hook. Lightly
support the back of the can opener and then press the bottle down until the cap
is removed.
TO OPEN BAGS
Hold the plastic bag along the right side, with both hands at the top corner.
Insert the upper edge of the bag into the opener and slide the bag from left to

TO SHARPEN KNIFE BLADE
Place the blade into rectangular opening and move from front to back
several times.
TIPS
• Be sure knife is clean and free of grease. Greasy or wet blades may coat
the sharpener and the blade will not sharpen satisfactorily.
• Do not attempt to sharpen hollow ground or serrated blades.
• Raise the knife handle slightly at the end of each sharpening, if the knife
has a curved tip.
• Uneven sharpening may occur if you force the knife blade against the
sharpener.
• The can opener/knife sharpener is intended for household use only.
