   - 
                     
            Heat the iOpener for thirty seconds. 
- 
                     
            Throughout the repair procedure, as the iOpener cools, reheat it in the microwave for an additional thirty seconds at a time.

   - 
                     
            Remove the iOpener from the microwave, holding it by one of the two flat ends to avoid the hot center.

            Heat the water to a boil. Turn off the heat. 
- 
                     
            Place an iOpener into the hot water for 2-3 minutes. Make sure the iOpener is fully submerged in the water. 
- 
                     
            Use tongs to extract the heated iOpener from the hot water. 
- 
                     
            Thoroughly dry the iOpener with a towel. 
- 
                     
            Your iOpener is ready for use! If you need to reheat the iOpener, heat the water to a boil, turn off the heat, and place the iOpener in the water for 2-3 minutes.
