Ensure the can's lid is positioned under the cutting blade and press the lever down firmly to engage the motor. The can should rotate automatically as it opens.
Check if the cutting blade is dull or obstructed. Clean the blade and try again. If the issue persists, the blade may need replacement.
Unplug the unit and wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Remove the cutting assembly for thorough cleaning with warm soapy water. Dry all parts completely before reassembling.
Regularly clean the cutting blade and gear area to prevent buildup. Lubricate moving parts with a small amount of food-safe oil if necessary.
The noise may be due to a misaligned can or a worn-out gear. Reposition the can and ensure the gear teeth are clean and intact.
Store the can opener in a dry area, ensuring the power cord is neatly wrapped and the unit is unplugged. Avoid placing heavy objects on top of it.
Check if the can opener is plugged in securely. Inspect the power cord for damage. If these are fine, the internal motor may need servicing.
While the can opener is designed to minimize sharp edges, some cans may have thicker lids that result in sharper edges. Handle opened cans with care.
The can opener is designed for standard-sized cans. Extra-large or uniquely shaped cans may require manual opening or additional care.
Refer to the user manual for specific instructions. Typically, you will need to remove the cutting assembly and replace the blade with a compatible spare part.
