Cuisinart Can Use and Care

To attach the lever, position it under the guiding posts and press until it clicks into place. Ensure the blade and gear are aligned for proper operation.
If the blade becomes dull, it needs replacement. Contact Cuisinart customer service for a replacement blade, as sharpening is not recommended.
To clean, unplug the can opener and remove the lever. Wash the lever in warm, soapy water and dry thoroughly. Wipe the main unit with a damp cloth.
Ensure the unit is plugged in and the can is positioned correctly. Check the power outlet and try a different one if necessary. If the problem persists, consult the manual or customer support.
The Cuisinart can opener is designed for most standard cans. Avoid using it on oversized or irregularly shaped cans, as this may damage the unit.
This could be due to insufficient pressure on the lever or a can with a non-standard rim. Ensure the can is correctly positioned and the lever is fully engaged.
To prevent rust, dry the blade thoroughly after each use and avoid leaving the can opener in damp environments. Regular cleaning will also help maintain the blade.
Ensure the can is securely in place and the blade is properly aligned. If the problem continues, the blade might be dull and needs replacement.
Store the can opener in a dry place with the lever locked in place to prevent damage. Avoid wrapping the cord tightly around the unit.
Some noise is normal during operation, but excessive grinding could indicate a need for maintenance or that the blade is misaligned.
