Note: Some users have reported issues with bolt sizes. Ensure the provided bolts are compatible with the mounting bracket and the cabinet material. If not, suitable hardware may need to be acquired separately.

5. Operating Instructions

Using your BLACK+DECKER EC59D can opener is simple and hands-free:

Prepare Can: Place the can on a flat surface or hold it steady. Ensure the can is not dented or misshapen, as this can affect operation.
Position Can: Lift the activation lever (E) and position the rim of the can under the can guide (D) and against the cutting blade assembly (B).
Engage Cutting: Press down firmly on the activation lever (E) until the cutting blade pierces the can lid. The "Power Pierce" feature ensures easy puncturing.
Hands-Free Operation: Once the blade has pierced the can and the cutting action begins, you can release the lever. The can opener will automatically hold the can and rotate it, cutting the lid.
Automatic Shut-Off: The can opener will automatically stop once the can has been fully opened.
Remove Can: Carefully lift the can away from the opener. The magnetic lid holder (C) will retain the lid.
Dispose of Lid: Remove the lid from the magnetic holder and dispose of it safely.

Caution: The edges of opened cans and lids can be sharp. Handle with care.

6. Cleaning and Maintenance

Regular cleaning ensures optimal performance and hygiene:

Unplug: Always unplug the can opener from the electrical outlet before cleaning.
Remove Cutting Blade Assembly: The cutting blade assembly (B) is removable for easy cleaning. Gently pull it downwards and outwards to detach it from the motor housing.
Clean Blade: Wash the removable cutting blade assembly in warm, soapy water or place it in the dishwasher. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before reattaching.
Wipe Motor Housing: Wipe the exterior of the motor housing (A) with a damp cloth. Do not immerse the motor housing in water.
Reattach Blade: Once clean and dry, reattach the cutting blade assembly by aligning it with the slots and pushing it upwards until it clicks securely into place.

Note: If the can opener's performance diminishes over time, the cutting blade may be dull. Replacing the removable cutting blade assembly can restore performance.
