Care and Maintenance
Proper care will ensure the longevity and performance of your Rabbit Vertical Lever Corkscrew.
- Cleaning: Wipe the corkscrew clean with a damp cloth after each use. Do not immerse the corkscrew in water or wash it in a dishwasher, as this can damage the mechanism and finish.
- Spiral Replacement: The corkscrew includes an extra spiral. If the original spiral becomes dull or damaged after extensive use (tested for 20,000 cork pulls), it can be replaced. Refer to the manufacturer's website or contact customer support for instructions on how to replace the spiral.
- Storage: Store the corkscrew in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues while using your corkscrew, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cork does not extract easily. | Corkscrew not fully engaged with the cork, or spiral is dull. | Ensure the corkscrew is firmly pressed onto the bottle and the lever is fully pushed down to insert the spiral completely. If the spiral is old, consider replacing it with the extra spiral provided. |
| Cork gets stuck on the spiral after removal. | Incorrect cork release procedure. | To release the cork, push the lever down and then pull it back up. This two-step action is designed to eject the cork. |
| Foil cutter does not remove foil cleanly. | Not enough pressure applied, or blades are dull. | Ensure you squeeze the foil cutter firmly and rotate it completely around the bottle neck. If blades are dull, the foil cutter may need replacement. |
