FAQs

Is this tin opener dishwasher safe?

No, the KitchenAid Locking Tin Opener is designed for hand wash only. To maintain its performance and prevent damage, wash it with warm, soapy water and dry it thoroughly after each use.

What is the warranty period for this product?

The KitchenAid Locking Tin Opener is supplied with a 12-month manufacturer's guarantee against defects.

How does the locking mechanism work?

The smart mechanism allows you to lock the handles onto the can rim. This keeps the blade firmly in place without you needing to maintain a constant tight squeeze, making it easier and more stable to operate.

Can this opener handle different sizes of cans?

Yes, it is designed to work with standard-sized food cans and tins. The oversized knob is intended to make turning easier, regardless of can size within the standard range.

What are the dimensions and weight of the opener?

The opener measures approximately 18cm (L) x 4.5cm (W) x 6.5cm (H) and weighs 0.19kg.

What material is the blade made of?

The blade is made of ultra-sharp stainless steel, designed for smooth and clean cuts through can lids.

How do I properly detach the opener after use?

Once you have finished opening the can, simply press the quick-release button. This will detach the opener smoothly and fuss-free.

Troubleshooting

Opener not cutting through the can lid.

Ensure the locking mechanism is properly engaged and the blade is aligned with the can's rim. Check that the knob is being turned consistently in one direction. Clean the blade and ensure there are no food particles hindering its movement.

Stiff or difficult to turn knob.

The can might have a slightly thicker rim. Try applying a little more steady pressure while turning. Ensure the opener is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists, check if the opener is properly seated on the rim.

Opener does not release easily from the can.

Press the quick-release button firmly. If it's stuck, gently wiggle the opener while pressing the button. Ensure no food residue is preventing the release mechanism from functioning.

Rust spots appearing on the blade.

This usually occurs if the opener was not dried thoroughly after washing. Wash the affected area with a soft cloth and mild detergent, dry immediately and completely. Future cleaning should always be followed by thorough drying.
