4. Leverage the handle upwards to pull the cork halfway out.
5. Reposition the second notch of the fulcrum onto the bottle rim.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: After each use, wipe the corkscrew with a damp cloth to remove any wine residue or debris. For thorough cleaning, hand wash with mild soap and water, then dry immediately to prevent water spots or rust.
• Drying: Ensure all metal components, especially the corkscrew worm and foil cutter, are completely dry before folding and storing.
• Storage: Store the corkscrew in its folded, compact position in a dry place, such as a kitchen drawer or bar accessory holder, to protect the blades and mechanism.
• Avoid Dishwasher: Do not wash the corkscrew in a dishwasher, as harsh detergents and high temperatures can damage the handle and metal finish.

Troubleshooting

• Cork Breaks: If the cork breaks during extraction, try inserting the corkscrew slightly off-center from the broken part and pull gently. For stubborn corks, consider using a different cork removal method if available.
• Difficulty Inserting Corkscrew: Ensure the corkscrew tip is centered. If the cork is very hard, apply steady, firm pressure while twisting.
• Foil Cutter Not Cutting Cleanly: Ensure the blade is fully extended and positioned correctly. Apply consistent pressure while rotating. If the blade appears dull, it may require professional sharpening or replacement.
• Stiff Mechanism: If the hinges feel stiff, apply a small amount of food-grade mineral oil to the pivot points and work the mechanism back and forth until it moves smoothly.
