Before First Use - Krups Open Master 404 Mode D'emploi

Your KRUPS "Open Master" hand-held elec-
tric can opener has the following features:
Revolutionary Patented Bladeless
Design
The "Open Master"'s unique patented
bladeless design opens cans without cut-
ting the lid. By uncrimping the lid, the
"Open Master" eliminates sharp, jagged
edges and prevents metal shavings from
falling into food. Since the uncrimping
mechanism never comes in contact with
food, it is completely safe and sanitary.
Ergonomic Hand Held Design
KRUPS "Open Master" has an ergonomi-
cally shaped handle that is designed to fit
comfortably into the palm of your hand
for mobility and ease of use.
Finger-Touch Control
The "Open Master" also features a finger-
touch control button that lets you operate
the can opener with just the tip of your
finger.

BEFORE FIRST USE

Before using your "Open Master" for the
first time, wipe surface and cutting wheel
with a clean moist cloth. This will remove
any dust particles that may have settled
during shipping.
NEVER immerse the unit in water.

OPERATING INSTRUC-
TIONS
Plug in the KRUPS "Open Master".
Hold the "Open Master" in your hand, so
that it is parallel to the counter top (see
figure 1).
If you are working with a large can, place
the can on the counter top (see figure 1).
If you are working with a smaller can, you
may hold the can in your hand (see
figure 2).
Carefully place the can behind the cutting
wheel (a), so that the bottom edge of the
cutting wheel rests on the inside rim of
the can (see figure 3).
Press the "on/off" button (b) (see figure 4).
Continue to keep the "on/off" button pres-
sed in for power; once the "on/off" button
is released, the can opener stops.
You will feel the "Open Master" grasp the
can and connect. At this point, the can is
automatically held by the cutting wheel, so
there is no need to hold the can. Do not try
to force the can to rotate, as this may
result in a less than smooth edge.
Let the "Open Master" circle the can com-
pletely (360°). It needs only to go around
one time to open the can.
Once you have opened the can complete-
ly, release the "on/off" button to free the
can (see figures 5 & 6).
NOTE: If the can is not resting on a coun-
ter top (as in figure 2), remember to hold
the can before you release the "on/off"
button; otherwise the grip will be released
and the can will fall.
