Operating Instructions
- Prepare the Bottle: After opening a bottle of wine, insert one of the provided wine stoppers firmly into the neck of the bottle. Ensure a tight seal.
- Set Date Indicator: Twist the top of the wine stopper to set the date indicator to the day the wine was opened. This helps track freshness.
- Position Preserver: Place the Waring Pro WP55 Cordless Wine Preserver directly over the wine stopper. Ensure the preserver is centered and seated securely on the stopper.
- Activate Vacuum: Press the button on top of the wine preserver unit. The unit will begin to extract air from the bottle. You will hear a whirring sound.
- Automatic Shut-off: The preserver will automatically stop when a sufficient vacuum has been created, typically within a few seconds.
- Store Wine: Once the vacuuming process is complete, remove the preserver unit from the stopper. Store the sealed wine bottle upright in a cool, dark place.
- Re-use: To enjoy the wine again, simply remove the stopper. Re-seal and vacuum as needed after each use.

Maintenance and Cleaning
- Preserver Unit: Wipe the exterior of the wine preserver unit with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the unit in water or any other liquid.

- Recharging Base: Wipe the recharging base with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure it is unplugged before cleaning.
- Storage: When not in use, store the wine preserver unit on its recharging base to ensure it is always ready for use. Store stoppers in a clean, dry place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Preserver does not turn on. | Battery is depleted. | Place the preserver on the recharging base and ensure the base is plugged into a working outlet. Allow sufficient time for charging. |
| Preserver runs but does not create a vacuum. | Stopper not properly sealed or damaged. | Ensure the stopper is firmly inserted into the bottle neck. Check stopper for any cracks or damage. Replace if necessary. |
| Wine does not stay fresh. | Incomplete vacuum seal or prolonged storage. | Ensure the preserver runs until it automatically stops. Always store bottles upright. While the preserver extends freshness, it does not prevent spoilage indefinitely. |
