OPERATION

1. Charging the Vacuum Pump Unit

It is recommended that the Vacuum Pump Unit is charged for at least 12 hours before using the Wine

Preserver for the first time. Please follow the instructions for charging the unit below:

• Connect the DC Power Plug into the DC Power Socket at the back of the Charging Base.

• Place the Vacuum Pump Unit into the Charging Base. The Power Switch must be aligned with the

Charging Indictor, to ensure that the connections are made.

• Insert the AC/DC Adapter into a mains socket and switch on the supply.

• The Charging Indicator will flash red, indicating that the battery is charging. It will take 8 -12 hours to

fully charge the battery.

• When the battery in the Vacuum Pump Unit is fully charged the Charging Indicator will turn green.

• Switch off the supply and remove the AC/DC Adapter from the mains socket. Remove the DC Power

Plug from the Charging Base.

The Vacuum Pump Unit needs to be re-charged when the pump sounds to be running very slow or when the Power Button does not illuminate blue when pressed.

2. Sealing the Wine Bottle

To vacuum-seal a partially empty bottle of wine:

• Set the Date Dial on the Wine Stopper to indicate the date when the wine bottle was vacuumed.

• Insert the Wine Stopper into the mouth of the wine bottle.

• Place the Vacuum Pump Unit onto the Wine Stopper. Ensure that the Unit is vertical so that it can seal

properly.

• Secure the wine bottle and gently push the Vacuum Pump Unit down onto the Wine Stopper.

• Press and hold the Power Button. The button will illuminate blue whilst the pump is operating.

• The Unit will automatically stop when the vacuum process is complete.

• Remove the Vacuum Pump Unit from the Wine Stopper.

The number of days that the wine can be preserved will depend on the storage conditions of the bottle. It is recommended that the vacuum process is repeated after a few days, to ensure that the vacuum is maintained.
