1. Rinse Tap Head and Draw Stem in hot water.
Allow all pieces to dry prior to using.
2. Slide the Draw Stem into
the hole in the bottom of the
Tap Head.
3. Adjust the Draw Stem to
fit your specific bottle by
visually aligning the top of
the rubber section of the Tap
Head with the top edge of the
bottle. Adjust the Draw Stem
so it will reach the bottom of
the bottle.
4. Insert Tap Head/Draw
Stem assembly into
bottleneck. Firmly press

1. Push to open the compartment door of the WSH
Rack. The door will release and can be swung open.
2. Thread the WSH Argon Gas cylinder into the WSH regulator
unit. Turn clockwise until you begin to feel slight
resistance. At this time, you will be piercing the seal of
the cylinder to activate the WSH Argon Gas. Continue
threading the cylinder clockwise until it is fully seated.
You are now ready to operate your Wine Saver HOME system.
Place a glass under the Tap Head nozzle and simply press on
the tap lever, while holding the bottle stable. Wine will begin to
flow at a rate of approximately 1 oz per second. Check all Tap Heads
for proper operation and wine flow. You may have decreased flow
during the first seconds of each bottle as the system is primed with
gas. This is by design, to purge your Wine Saver HOME system.
CHARGING YOUR WINE SAVER HOME WITH WSH ARGON GAS CYLINDERS
Note: WSH Argon Gas cylinders are under 2800 lbs/sq. inch of pressure.
Do not remove or unscrew a full or partial WSH Argon Gas cylinder until
it is empty. If you do so, the content will be lost as the gas is released
through a safety relief valve designed to avoid injury.

When using any appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed.
All of the following safety information is important and should be read prior
to using your Wine Saver HOME.
SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
1.Use the Wine Saver HOME only as described in this
manual. Wine Saver HOME is for home use only,
commercial use will void all warranties.
2. Wine Saver HOME is designed specifically for use
with WSH Argon Gas cylinders as its preservative.
Use of any other gas system is not recommended and
will void any manufacturer's warranty or claims.
3. Do not attempt to remove a full or partially full
WSH Argon Gas cylinder from the system. Contents
are under extreme pressure.
4. Never expose your Wine Saver HOME system to
temperatures beyond normal operating range of
32-104O F (0-40O C).
5. Always stop pressure flow to the bottle before
removing its Tap Head by first disconnecting the
Quick Connect coupler.
6. Do not connect the Quick Connect coupler to the
Tap Head if you feel the tap does not have a tight fit
to the bottle. Doing so could result in lost gas.
7. Never operate the Wine Saver HOME system if
it is not working properly or if it has been dropped
or damaged.
■
8. Do not use the Wine Saver HOME system in any
manner that allows contents of gas cylinder to escape.
Argon gas will create an oxygen-deficient atmosphere
and may cause suffocation or injury.
9. Use with non-carbonated beverages only. The system
is not designed for sparkling wines.
CLEANING
1. Tap Head / Draw Stem assembly should be rinsed
with hot water before every new bottle of wine.
Place nozzle fins under hot water to regain original
shape for optimal bottle fit.
2. Wine Saver HOME's stainless steel components
should be cleaned only with stainless steel cleaner.
Minor scratches can be removed with a Scotch Brite
pad or similar product and gently brushed in the direction
of the existing brushed finish. Never use steel wool or
other harsh abrasives as they will permanently scratch
the finish.

Wine Saver HOME has been designed for simple set-up and
ease of operation. If you are having a problem with your
system, the following suggestions will likely guide you to a
solution.
WINE SAVER HOME TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
Some taps are flowing wine and others are not:
Simply disconnect the Quick Connect coupler and
reinstall, making sure the coupler is properly seated.
■Always preserve a full bottle of wine.
Preserving a previously opened bottle of wine that
is not full may result in decreased performance from
your system. Always begin preserving with a full bottle.
■
No wine is flowing from any of the Taps:
Make sure WSH Argon Gas cylinder has been completely
threaded in and is completely seated, or replace WSH Argon
Gas cylinder as it may be empty.
■
You cannot get wine to flow after the above
troubleshooting steps.
Please contact Wine Saver HOME at 610-435-5240 or
toll free at 877-601-9463 for further assistance.
■
Excess wine is remaining at the bottom of the bottle
after service:
Disconnect the Quick Connect coupler, take Tap Head /
Draw Stem assembly out of bottle neck, and adjust the
Draw Stem so that it is sitting on the bottom of the
wine bottle. (Refer to Page 3)
■
After using for some time, you notice you are not
getting 12 to 15 bottles (approximately) of wine per
WSH Argon Gas cylinder:
1. Disconnect all Quick Connect couplers.
2. Remove the Tap Head / Draw Stem assemblies.
3. Soak assemblies in hot water for a few seconds.
Remove one Tap Head at a time and spread out the
bottle seal fins to their original state.
(fins should be perpendicular to body of Tap Head)
4. Replace Tap Head / Draw Stem assemblies and
re-connect Quick Connect couplers.
■Note: Always disconnect Quick Connect couplers
before changing bottles.
Note: There may be a slight amount of wine remaining in
the Tap Head nozzle after pouring. This is common with all
spigot based systems and is part of normal operation.
Note: Wine Saver HOME is equipped with a patented
regulator assembly with a relief valve designed for safety.
If you attempt to remove a cylinder that still has gas in it,
you will hear a pressure relief puff or whistle.
Warranty Note: Wine Saver HOME is designed specifically
for use with WSH Argon Gas as its preservative, use of any
other preservative will void the manufacturers warranty.
