Operating Instructions
Opening a Can
- Place the can on a flat, stable surface.
- Position the can opener on top of the can, ensuring the cutting wheel and gear are aligned with the can's rim. The can opener should sit flat on the can.
- Press the start button once. The can opener will automatically grip the can and begin rotating, cutting along the side of the rim.
- Allow the can opener to complete a full rotation around the can. It will continue to rotate until manually stopped.
- To stop the operation, press the start button again. The can opener will release its grip after approximately 2 seconds.
- Carefully lift the can opener from the can. The lid will be held by the built-in magnet for easy, hands-free removal.

Side-Cut Opening and Smooth Edges
The CIRCLE JOY Electric Can Opener utilizes a side-cutting mechanism. This design cuts below the can's rim, leaving a smooth, safe edge on both the can and the removed lid. This minimizes the risk of cuts from sharp edges.

Magnetic Lid Removal
After the can is opened, the integrated magnet will securely hold the lid, preventing it from falling into the food or requiring manual handling of potentially sharp edges. Simply lift the can opener, and the lid will come with it.
