Setup

The Tescoma GRANDCHEF Can Opener requires no assembly. Before first use, wash the can opener with warm soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry completely.

Operating Instructions

1. Grip the Can Opener: Hold the can opener firmly with one hand, ensuring a secure grip on the handles.
2. Position on Can: Place the cutting wheel of the can opener onto the rim of the can, just inside the outer edge. The gear should be positioned on the outside of the rim.
3. Engage the Blade: Squeeze the handles together firmly until the cutting wheel pierces the can lid and the gear grips the rim.
4. Rotate the Handle: Turn the rotating handle clockwise. The cutting wheel will advance around the can, cutting the lid as it moves.
5. Complete the Cut: Continue turning until the can lid is completely severed from the can body. You may feel a slight release in tension when the cut is complete.
6. Remove the Lid: Carefully release the handles and lift the can opener from the can. The lid should remain attached to the can opener or be easily removable. Use caution as edges may be sharp.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Tescoma GRANDCHEF Can Opener:

• Cleaning: After each use, wash the can opener immediately with warm water and mild dish soap. Use a brush if necessary to remove any food particles from the cutting wheel and gear.
• Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly under running water to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Dry the can opener completely with a soft cloth to prevent rust and water spots. Do not allow it to air dry, especially in humid conditions.
• Storage: Store in a dry place, away from excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

• Can Opener not cutting: Ensure the cutting wheel is properly engaged with the can rim and the handles are squeezed firmly. The cutting wheel may be dull; consider replacement if the issue persists after proper engagement.
• Lid edges are jagged: This can occur if the can opener is not held steadily or if the cutting wheel is not fully engaged. Ensure a firm grip and consistent pressure while turning the handle.
• Can opener slips off the can: Verify that the gear is securely gripping the outer edge of the can rim before turning the handle. Apply consistent, firm pressure.
