Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Tescoma Uno Vino Vacuum Pump and Stoppers. This product is designed to preserve the freshness and aroma of your opened wine bottles by removing air and creating a vacuum seal. This manual provides essential instructions for the safe and effective use, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your device.
The Tescoma Uno Vino system is easy to use: with just a few pumping motions, air is removed from the bottle, creating a vacuum. This optimally protects the wine and keeps it fresh longer. The included stoppers are durable and reusable, offering a cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. Thanks to the two vacuum stoppers, the pump fits all standard wine bottles, making it an ideal accessory for any wine enthusiast.

Setup
Before first use, please ensure all components are clean.
- Unpack the Tescoma Uno Vino Vacuum Pump and the two stoppers from their packaging.
- Wash the stoppers and the pump's lower part (the part that contacts the stopper) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
- Inspect all components for any signs of damage. Do not use if any part is damaged.
Operating Instructions
Follow these steps to effectively seal your wine bottle:
- Insert the Stopper: Firmly insert one of the vacuum stoppers into the neck of the opened wine bottle. Ensure it is seated securely and creates a tight seal.
- Position the Pump: Place the vacuum pump over the stopper. The pump should fit snugly over the top of the stopper.
- Pump to Create Vacuum: Hold the bottle firmly with one hand and operate the pump handle with the other. Pump the handle up and down repeatedly. You will feel resistance as air is removed from the bottle. Continue pumping until significant resistance is felt, indicating a strong vacuum has been created. Typically, 5-10 pumps are sufficient, depending on the amount of wine remaining.
- Remove the Pump: Once the vacuum is established, carefully remove the pump from the stopper. The stopper will remain in place, sealing the bottle.
- Storing the Wine: Store the sealed wine bottle upright in a cool, dark place.
- Opening the Bottle: To open the bottle and release the vacuum, gently press the small button located in the center of the stopper. You will hear a hiss as air re-enters the bottle, and the stopper can then be easily removed.
