Maintenance Tips
-
Clean cutting surfaces after each use: Wipe the cutting wheel, feed gears, and surrounding surfaces to remove food residue, preventing buildup and contamination.
-
Inspect blades and gears regularly: Replace worn or dull cutting wheels or feed gears to maintain smooth, efficient operation.
-
Lubricate moving parts periodically: Apply food-safe lubricant to pivot points and gear assemblies to reduce wear and ensure consistent motion.
-
Keep motor housing dry: Avoid moisture exposure to protect electrical components and prevent corrosion.
-
Use only proper cans: Avoid oversized, heavily dented, or damaged cans to prevent undue strain on the opener’s mechanism.
-
Check power cord and connections: Ensure the cord and plug remain intact and secure — frayed wires can pose safety hazards and affect performance.
