To prevent electrical shock, personal injury or property damage, read and
follow all instructions and warnings.
Electricity Precautions
• Do not immerse cord, plugs, or other electric parts in water or other liquids.
• Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug. Do not operate
when the appliance is not working properly or when it has been damaged in any
manner.
• Do not use electric parts outdoors, or place them on or near a gas or electric
burner, in a heated oven, or in the refrigerator.
• Your can opener has a short cord as a safety precaution to avoid pulling, tripping,
or entanglement. Do not let cord hang over the edge of the counter, table or
other flat surface area.
• While use of an extension cord is not recommended, if you must use one, make
sure the cord has the same or higher wattage as the can opener (wattage is
stamped on the underside of the can opener). To avoid pulling, tripping or
entanglement, position the extension cord so that it does not hang over the edge
of the counter, table or other flat surface area.
• Use an electrical outlet that accommodates the polarized plug on the can opener.
On a polarized plug, one blade of the plug is wider than the other. If the plug
does not fit fully into the outlet or extension cord, reverse the plug. If the plug still
does not fit fully, contact a qualified electrician. Do not alter the plug.
• Do not use an outlet or extension cord if the plug fits loosely or if the outlet or
extension cord feels hot.
• Do not open pressurized (aerosol-type) cans.
• Do not open cans of flammable liquids such as lighter fluids.
