3. If a long detachable extension cord is used:
   • The marked electrical rating of the power cord or extension cord should be at least as great as the electrical rating of the appliance.

DETERMINE CABINET TYPE

Important: Spacemaker™ appliances are only recommended to be installed on cabinets without a top lip and with a flat bottom. It is not recommended to install Spacemaker appliances on cabinets with an overhang. See the image below for recommended cabinet types.

STANDARD INSTALLATION (FLAT CABINET) 

Important: Always wear protective glasses or goggles to prevent injury when drilling.
Important: Do not align screw holes on the template directly under the partition between cabinets, as this will prevent you from installing the appliance properly. Pay close attention to where drill holes will be set so as not to damage your cabinets during mounting. Drilling through your cabinet’s partition may cause damage to cabinets and prevent proper installation.

1. Clear the countertop under the installation area to avoid getting dust or debris on other appliances or items. Open cabinets and remove contents to make mounting easier.
2. Clean both the underside and topside of the bottom panel of the cabinet.
3. Decide whether you will be drilling from the top down or from the bottom up.
   IF DRILLING FROM THE BOTTOM UP:
   • With cabinet doors open, place the mounting template against the surface of the front edge of your cabinet. Align the thick line on the template (labeled “cabinet front edge”) with the lower front edge of your cabinet (D).
   • Fold the balance of the template up along the underside of your cabinet, ensuring the “cabinet front edge” line remains aligned with the bottom front cabinet edge.
   • Make sure the template is smooth and flush against the cabinet’s underside. Pull the template tight and tape it down to hold in place.
     IF DRILLING FROM THE TOP DOWN:
     
   • With cabinet doors open, place the mounting template against the surface of the front edge of your cabinet. Align the thick line on the template (labeled “cabinet front edge”) with the upper front edge of your cabinet (E).
   • Fold the balance of the template over into the inside of your cabinet, ensuring the “cabinet front edge” line remains aligned with the upper front cabinet edge.
   • Make sure the template is smooth and flush against the cabinet’s inside. Pull the template tight and tape it down to hold it in place.
     Important: Always ensure you are drilling straight up or straight down through the marked mounting holes on the template. Drilling at an angle may prevent proper installation and may damage cabinets if the drill bit pierces the partition.
4. Using a 1/32” drill bit, drill from the underside of the cabinet up or the top down, creating pilot holes through the 4 holes marked on the template. This will help guide the ¼” drill bit in the next step. (F)
5. Switch to a ¼” drill bit and drill straight up or straight down through the holes that have just been created. (G)
6. Once holes are drilled, remove the tape and mounting template.
7. Wipe dust and debris off the top side and the underside of the cabinet surface.
8. Place a washer inside the cabinet over each of the 4 holes you drilled. (H)
9. Determine what size screws to use by placing a screw through the hole in the cabinet without the appliance in place. The screw should be ½” exposed underneath the cabinet to ensure the appliance is properly attached to the cabinet. (I)
   Note: Several standard screw lengths are provided but may not fit all cabinet sizes.
10. Place one of the screws through each of the washers covering the holes in the cabinet, from the inside of the cabinet down.
11. Hold the appliance up to the screws, aligning the front of the appliance with the front edge of the cabinet base. The front of the can opener DOES NOT include the cover, as indicated on the mounting template. Make sure there will be enough room to lift the can opener lever when the cover is open. The screws in the cabinet should align with the mounting holes in the appliance. (J)
    Note: It may require two people to ensure the appliance is held in place while drilling.
12. Screwing from inside the cabinet down into the appliance holes, use your drill or screwdriver to tighten the four screws in place. (K)Note: Always tighten screws to properly secure the appliance to the cabinet and to ensure the appliance does not move or shake during operation.
13. Pull out cord from cord storage behind the appliance and plug into a standard electrical outlet. Extra cord can be fed back into storage or hung over cord management hook behind the appliance. (L)
    Note: If you are connecting this appliance to the receptacle of another Spacemaker™ appliance such as the toaster oven or coffeemaker, make sure you can easily unplug the appliance following use.
14. Your Spacemaker™ appliance is now ready for use!

OPENING A CAN

   Note: Because of the hands-free feature, it is not necessary to hold the lever down or hold the can during cutting. However, you may have to support very tall or heavy cans.
   Tip: When the can is opened, the can opener will stop automatically.
3. To remove the can, hold it with one hand and raise the lever with the other.
   Caution: Avoid contact with the cut edges of the can or lid; they are sharp. During the opening process, the design of your can opener will roll the rim of the can to prevent sharp edges; however, handle open can and cut lid with caution.
4. Carefully discard the lid from the magnet.

HELPFUL TIPS AND TRICKS:

• Do not use this can opener to open cans with a pull tab, peel-off foil seal, rolling key or rimless cans.

2. Carefully press down on the blade and pull it toward you through the slot in one continuous stroke. (N)Important: Do not saw knife back and forth to sharpen. Pull through the sharpener in one direction with a continuous, slow and even motion. Failure to do so may dull or damage your blade.

4. Wash and dry knife before using again.

HELPFUL TIPS AND TRICKS:
