Before rst using your new Bottle Buddy™, it is most
important that you read and follow the instructions
in this use and care booklet, even if you feel you are

dealing with IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS. Find a safe
and convenient place to keep this booklet handy for

standard domestic power outlet. It is not intended
for industrial or commercial use.
Cutting the foil
Place the foil cutter on the top of the bottle. Hold
the foil cutter down and press the button as shown
in Fig 1. Rotate the bottle while holding the foil
cutter in place. The foil will be cut after the bottle
has been fully rotated. Remove the foil, and the cork

pressing the bottom side of the switch, the spiral
screw will turn in an anti-clockwise direction (to
penetrate the cork); by pressing the top part of
the switch button, the spiral screw will turn in a
clockwise direction (to remove the cork from the
bottle and the Bottle Buddy™).
Opening the wine bottle
Ensure the foil has been removed and the cork is fully
exposed before placing the Bottle Buddy™ on top of the
bottle. Press the bottom part of the switch button.
The spiral screw will gently penetrate the cork .

as vertical as possible while operating (Fig 4).
The Bottle Buddy™ stops automatically when the
cork is fully removed from the bottle.
Lift the Bottle Buddy™ away from the bottle. Press
and hold the top part of the switch button to release
the cork (Fig 5).
Plug the charger into a standard domestic power
outlet. Plug the other end into the charging stand.
Place the Bottle Buddy™ in the charging stand,
ensuring it sits securely, as shown in Fig 6. The
indicator will light will be red when the battery
level is low. Leave the Bottle Buddy™ sitting on the
charging stand while it recharges.
The indicator light will illuminate green once the
Bottle Buddy™ has completed charging and is ready
for use.
The rst time the Bottle Buddy™ is charged, it should
be left on the charging stand for 48 hours. For
subsequent recharges, the Bottle Buddy™ will only
need two hours. Once the Bottle Buddy™ is fully
charged, it has the power to open 10 wine bottles.
Note: Ensure you charge the Bottle Buddy™ for
48 hours before rst use.
If the Bottle Buddy™ is subject to extended periods
of inactivity, the indicator light may ash between
red and green. This indicates that the battery is not
receiving a clear charge from the charging stand.
This is normal and the life of battery has not been
affected. To remedy this situation, simply place the
Bottle Buddy™ in the charging stand for 48 hours.
The Bottle Buddy™ will re-establish the connection
with the memory chip in the charging base, and will
be ready for use.
The male plug of the provided charger is designed
to engage to the charging stand only. Do not
attempt to plug it into any other area of the Bottle
Buddy™, or any other appliance. Failure to comply
may result in re, electric shock or injury.

After Use
The Bottle Buddy™ should be stored in a dry

of injury, cover the opening of the Bottle Buddy™
with the foil cutter.

and will no longer accept charge, it should be
disposed of in accordance with local regulations
with respect to rechargeable batteries. You should
contact your local council to determine the correct
procedure.
