Plug one end of the adapter cord into the base of the charging stand and the other end into a main socket. Place the Electric Wine Opener into recharging stand ensuring that it is firmly in position and that it is fully engaged with the recharging connection. You will notice that the LED light illuminates. It will take approximately 6-8 hours to recharge your electric Wine Opener.

The Electric Wine Opener is operated by one single switch. The switch has two functions. Press the "Down" switch to remove a cork from a bottle. After you have removed the cork from the bottle, press the "Up" switch to release a cork from the mechanism. Before remove the cork you must remove any foil from the bottle using the foil cutter provided. (see Fig.1)
1. Place the Electric Wine Opener on top of the wine bottle making sure that it remains as upright as possible at all times. If you hold the Electric Wine Opener at an angle to the bottle it will not remove the cork properly. (Fig 2)

The corkscrew spiral will turn in a clockwise direction and enter the cork, then gradually remove it from the bottle. When the Electric Wine Opener mechanism has stopped the cork has been fully removed from the bottle. (Fig 2)
