∙ Use your thumb to lift up the operating
lever.
∙ Place the can to be opened with your left
hand next to the cutting mechanism in
such a way that the underside of the rim
sits on the serrated transport wheel.
∙ Push down the lever until the cutting
blade touches the surface of the can.
Bring the magnet into position by lowering
it down onto the lid of the can.
∙ The appliance is switched on by
increasing pressure on the operating lever
which in turn will activate the pulse switch
located underneath the lever. The cutting
blade is automatically drawn into the lid
and will begin to cut.
∙ Release the operating lever as soon as
the can starts turning.

opener will automatically switch off.
∙ Caution: Do not re-engage the operating
lever or keep it pressed once the can is
open.
∙ The opening process can be interrupted
at any time by simply pulling the operating
lever up.
∙ After opening, hold the can with your left
hand and lift the operating lever with your
right thumb.
∙ The lid, once free, is securely held by the
magnet and may be removed by hand.
∙ Caution: Take extreme care when
removing the lid from the magnet, as the
thin metal edges can easily cause serious
injury.
∙ When the can opener is switched on, a
clicking noise may be heard. This sound
is normal and does not in any way impede
the appliance's function.
∙ When opening larger cans of around
1,000 g or more, the can must be guided
10
by hand during the opening process.
∙ When opening cans with a damaged rim,
it may be necessary to re-position the can
opener several times.
∙ Cans which are normally opened with a
key, or cans with a soldered-in lid, may
be opened at the bottom if a suitable rim
exists.
Hanging loop
The appliance is equipped with a hanging
loop for space-saving storage.
