Opening tins

ATTENTION! The appliance is designed for a max. continuous operation time of 3 minutes. If this time has elapsed, the appliance has to cool down for at least 2 minutes. If this is not observed, the motor might get damaged!

ATTENTION! Do not touch the running driving wheel or the blade! In order to avoid injuries, handle the blade with care!

NOTE: If the opening of a tin is successful, depends heavily on the tin's quality. For opening, a tin with a sufficient rim on the upper side is necessary. Furthermore, the tin should not be damaged or dented. The tin must not have a pull tab lid. Several attempts might be necessary for opening the tin.

1.) Fixing the tin

• Connect the appliance to the mains. Cord not in use can be stored in the cable storage on the rear side of the appliance.
• Clean the tin's upper side.
  • Fold the front lever up and hold it.
• Place the tin's outer edge slightly aslant on the driving wheel.
• Now, press the tin with light pressure against the guiding spike and the driving wheel.
• Then slowly fold the front lever down. Make sure that the blade is on the inside of the tin's edge. The magnetic lid holder snaps the lid.

2.) Switching the appliance on and off

• For starting the appliance, push the front lever firmly down. If the tin is correctly fixed, the appliance will start automatically.
  • After finishing the opening process, the appliance stops automatically.

NOTE: During this process you can release tin and front lever. However, we recommend leaving one hand near the tin in order to catch a tin which loosens.

3.) Taking the tin out

ATTENTION: The tin's lid and rim can be sharp-edged. In order to avoid injuries, handle the opened tin with care!

• Before folding the front lever up, make sure you hold the tin.
- By folding the front lever up, the tin is released and can be taken out cautiously.
• The lid is held by the magnetic holder and can also be taken away cautiously.
• Always pull the mains plug when the opening process is finished.
