Cleaning Instructions

The can opener must be cleaned daily or after each extended use. Regular maintenance will help prevent unwanted build-up and harmful bacteria growth.

1. Use a stainless cleaning brush to remove all the food and can opening residue from the gear, the gear cavity, and the knife blade.
2. Wash the knife, gear, and any splash area on the opener using warm soapy water. Do not allow components to soak.
3. Thoroughly dry the knife, gear, and can opener using a dry cloth or paper towel.
4. Coat the knife and gear with light non-sticking vegetable oil to prevent rusting when the can opener is not in use.
