    							When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions
    should always be followed, including the following:
    Please read all instructions.
    To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put 
    can opener, cord, or plug in water or other liquid.
    Close supervision is necessary when any appliance is used
    by or near children.
    Turn unit off and unplug from outlet when not in use, before
    putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
    Avoid contacting moving parts.
    Do not operate any appliance with a damaged cord or plug
    or after the appliance malfunctions or is dropped or dam-
    aged in any manner. Return the appliance to an authorized
    service facility for examination, repair, or electrical or
    mechanical adjustment.
    Keep the cord away from the Knife Sharpener (Models EC43
    and EC43B only) and the path of the knife being sharpened to
    prevent fire or shock hazard.
    The use of attachments not recommended or sold by the
    appliance manufacturer may cause fire, electric shock, or
    injury.
    Do not use outdoors.
    Do not let cord hang over edge of table or counter or touch
    hot surfaces.
    Do not open pressurized (aerosol type) cans.
    Do not open cans of flammable liquids such as lighter fluids.
    Do not operate this appliance in the presence of explosive
    and/or flammable fumes.
    This appliance is intended for household use only and not for
    commercial or industrial use.

    This appliance has a polarized plug—one
    blade is wider than the other. As a safety fea-
    ture, this plug will fit into a polarized outlet
    only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into
    the outlet, reverse the plug. 
    If it still does not fit, contact a qualified elec-
    trician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety
    feature by modifying the plug in any way.

    							1. First, install the Magnet. Line
    up the vertical tab on the
    Magnet assembly with the ver-
    tical hole on the Pierce Lever,
    then push into the Pierce Lever,
    and turn until it locks into posi-
    tion. (Figure A)
    2. Plug the cord into a standard,
    120-volt electrical outlet.
    3. Lift up the right side of the
    Pierce Lever. Tip the can on an
    angle so that the rim of the can
    is under the support post. Lower
    the Pierce Lever, making sure
    the Cutter Blade is inside the
    rim of the can. 
    (Figure B)
    4. Press the Pierce Lever down
    completely. The can will automatically be pierced and the cut-
    ting action will begin. Because of the hands-free feature, it is
    not necessary to hold the Pierce Lever down or to hold onto
    the can during cutting. Keep in mind, however, that it may be
    necessary to hold or steady the Can Opener Body when cut-
    ting tall or heavy cans.
    5. The Can Opener will automatically stop when the can is open.
    6. If the Can Opener fails to cut the can lid completely, hold
    the Pierce Lever down until the can is open.
    7. You may stop the cutting action any time by lifting the
    Pierce Lever.
    8. To remove the can, hold it with one hand and raise the
    Pierce Lever with the other hand. Discard the cut lid.

    How To Use
    Figure A
    Figure B 
    						
    							•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.
    * Spam® is a registered trademark of Geo. A. Hormel Co.
    **Crisco® is a registered trademark of the Procter & Gamble Co.
    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)
    USING THE KNIFE SHARPENER
    (Models EC43 and EC43B only)
    1. Turn the Can Opener sideways. The Slots in the Knife
    Sharpener are slanted at the correct angle for best sharpen-
    ing results.
    2. Press and hold down the Pierce Lever before inserting a
    knife blade into either Slot. This will start the Grinding
    Wheel for sharpening. Continue to hold the Pierce Lever
    5
    Figure C
    CAN
    OPENING
    TIPS  
    						
    							down while the knife is being sharpened. This will lessen any
    movement across the countertop during knife sharpening.
    3.  Lower the end of the knife
    blade which is closest to the
    handle into either the right or
    left Slot of the Sharpener until it
    lightly touches the Grinding
    Wheel. (Figure D) Pull the knife
    blade through the Slot, bringing
    it toward you slowly. (Allow
    approximately 3-4 seconds per
    pass for an 8” blade.)
    4.  For best results, sharpen the entire blade length in one 
    continuous stroke. Repeat in the opposite Slot to sharpen 
    the other side of the blade. Repeat 5 or 6 times on each side.*  
    To get the sharpest edge possible, hone the knife blade by
    quickly pulling (1 second per pass) it through each side twice.
    5.  Be sure to wash and dry knives after sharpening.
    * For most knives, 5 or 6 passes per side will be adequate. However, those knives that
    are made out of very hard steel or that are very dull, may require more than 6 passes
    to thoroughly sharpen them. If a knife is not very dull, you may only need to make 2 or
    3 passes per side.
    KNIFE SHARPENING TIPS
    (Models EC43 and EC43B only)
    1.  Clean and dry knives before sharpening. Wet or greasy
    blades may coat the Grinding Wheel and prevent sharpening.
    2.  Do not attempt to sharpen serrated blades, as this will
    smooth their edges. Do not attempt to sharpen scissors.
    3.  If the knife has a curved tip, raise the knife handle slightly
    at the end of each sharpening.
    4. Do not force the knife blade against the Grinding Wheel, as
    this may cause uneven sharpening.
    5. Do not leave the blade in one spot.
    Figure D
    6 
    						
    							6. The Grinding Wheel is specially designed to prevent
    “burning” of the knife blade. If the Wheel stalls or stops, the
    blade is being pressed too hard against the Wheel.
    7.  Both the Can Opener and the Knife Sharpener are intend-
    ed for household use only. Do not use the Sharpener for
    more than 5 minutes at one time. Allow it to cool at least 15
    minutes after sharpening knives before using again. This will
    prevent motor burnout due to overheating.
    Other than the cleaning described in this Use and Care
    book, no other maintenance or servicing of this appliance 
    is required. Repairs, if necessary, must be performed by 
    a Black & Decker (U.S.) Inc., Household Appliance 
    Company-Owned or Authorized Service Center.
    CLEANING YOUR CAN OPENER
    1.  Before cleaning any part of the Can Opener, unplug 
    the cord from the electrical outlet. To remove the Magnet
    Assembly for cleaning, turn it half way and pull out. 
    Wipe clean with a damp cloth or sponge.
    2.  The Can Opener has a removable Pierce Lever Assembly
    for easy cleaning and it should be cleaned frequently. To
    remove the Assembly for cleaning, slide the Pierce Lever to
    the right and pull forward. (Figure E) 
    7
    Care and Cleaning
    Figure E 
    						
    							The Assembly can be washed by hand in hot, sudsy water,
    rinsed and dried thoroughly. After each cleaning, add a 
    few drops of cooking or mineral oil to the Cutter Blade.
    3.  Before replacing the Pierce Lever Assembly, wipe the Can
    Opener body, and area around the drive wheel with a slightly
    damp cloth. A mild cleaner can be used to remove stubborn
    spots. Be sure to dry the unit thoroughly before next use.
    4. To replace the Pierce Lever
    Assembly, insert the Pivot Pin
    on the back of the Lever into the
    keyhole shaped opening on the
    Can Opener Housing. Then slide
    the Pierce Lever  Assembly to
    the left until the pin is securely
    in place. (Figure F)
    5.  Knife Sharpening slots (mod-
    els EC43 and EC43B) and surrounding area should be wiped
    with a damp cloth after each use.
