The Zyliss easy can opener gives you the functionality of an electronic can opener in a compact, easy-to-store design. Align the opener and place it on top of the can lid, press the button for one second, and release it to start cutting. When the cutting has been completed, press the button again to reverse the cutting wheel. Wait a few seconds for the motor to stop and for the red LED light to turn off, lift the can opener away from the can and the magnet will pick up the lid as well.
