5.
Return the wine opener to the charging base when it is not in use to protect the mechanism
from damage or wear and tear.
6.
This wine opener is designed for use with traditional corks, but it may also be used with synthetic
corks. Synthetic corks are smaller and do not expand the way that a traditional cork does, so it is
possible for them to become stuck on the corkscrew. If this happens, use a small pair of pliers to
grasp and firmly hold the cork. Press and hold the Release ( ) button while holding the
cork with the pliers, and allow the cork to slowly be released. Do not try to force the corkscrew or
the cork, as this could damage the mechanism.
Using the Aerator Pourer
1
Place the aerator pourer into the bottle neck snugly to allow the wine to pour out smoothly without
splashing into a glass or other container.
2
The pourer aerates as wine flows through it, oxygenating the wine to give it a better, richer flavor.
Using the Vacuum Preserver and Wine Stoppers
The vacuum preserver and compatible wine stoppers will keep an already-opened bottle of wine fresh
for up to 3-5 days.
Sealing a Bottle
1.
Put one of the wine stoppers into the neck of the bottle until it is firmly seated and makes a seal
around the entire neck.
2.
Place the vacuum preserver opening on top of the stopper and use the pump handle to push up
and down, vacuuming the air out of the bottle.
3.
When it becomes hard to operate the pump handle, stop and remove it from the wine stopper.
4.
If there is more than half a bottle of wine remaining, the above three steps should sufficiently
remove the air and seal the bottle. For less than half a bottle of wine, we recommend repeating
steps 1-3 a second time, to ensure all the air has been removed.
Using the Date Indicator on the Stoppers
1.
On the stoppers you will find a printed ( ) symbol above a series of lines marking numbers from 1-31.
This allows you to mark the date you seal your wine bottle so you can keep track.
