3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Removing the Foil Seal
Use the included foil cutter to remove the foil seal from the wine bottle. Place the foil cutter over the top of the wine bottle and squeeze firmly. Rotate the bottle or the cutter a few times to cut the foil completely. Remove the foil seal.
3.2 Opening a Wine Bottle
- Place the electric wine opener vertically on top of the wine bottle, ensuring it is centered over the cork.
- Hold the bottle firmly with one hand and the opener with the other.
- Press and hold the 'Down' button on the opener. The corkscrew will automatically penetrate the cork and extract it from the bottle. The opener will stop automatically once the cork is fully removed.
- Lift the opener away from the bottle.
3.3 Releasing the Cork from the Opener
Once the cork is extracted from the bottle and is inside the opener, press and hold the 'Up' button. The corkscrew will rotate in reverse, releasing the cork from the device. No pulling is required.

4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning
Wipe the exterior of the electric wine opener and charging base with a soft, damp cloth. Do not immerse the opener or charging base in water or other liquids. The foil cutter can be rinsed under water if necessary.
4.2 Storage
Store the electric wine opener on its charging base when not in use to ensure it is always ready. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
5. Troubleshooting
- Opener not working: Ensure the device is fully charged. Check if the charging base is properly connected to a power outlet.
- Cork not extracting: Make sure the opener is centered firmly on the bottle. Ensure the bottle is held steady. The corkscrew may struggle with extremely old or brittle corks.
- Cork not releasing: Press and hold the 'Up' button until the cork is fully ejected. If the cork is stuck, gently pull it out manually.
- Foil cutter not working: Ensure the foil cutter is placed correctly over the bottle neck and rotated with firm pressure.
