Black & Decker EC43B - Manual (Page 5)

• This Can Opener should not be used to open
cans that are designed to be opened by anoth-
er method, such as a pull tab, ring opener, pull
strip, peel-off foil seal, or rolling key (i.e.
*Spam
® , **Crisco ® , sardines, etc.). This Can
Opener will not open rimless cans.
• If there is a bump or dent in the rim of the can,
open the other end or start the cutting action
just beyond the dent. Cans with heavy seams,
uneven rims or odd shapes may cause the Can
Opener to stall. If this occurs, turn the can
slightly by hand to aid the cutting action.
• Frozen juices or foods in cardboard cans
should be opened as soon as they are
removed from the freezer. Aluminum lids will
not stick to the Magnet. To prevent these lids
from falling into the can, stop the cutting
action before the can is completely opened.

CORD STORAGE
There is a handy cord storage
area in the back of the Can
Opener. Carefully push the
cord up into the storage area.
Then nest the plug into the cut-
out area with the prongs facing
upward. (Figure C)

ing results.
