This guide contains many important safety messages.
Always read and obey all safety messages.
Safety Messages
This is the safety alert symbol. It alerts you to safety messages that
inform you of hazards that can kill or hurt you or others, or
cause damage to the product.
All safety messages will be preceded by the safety alert symbol and the hazard signal word
DANGER, WARNING, or CAUTION. These words mean:
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury,
and tell you what can happen if the instructions are not followed.
You will be killed or seriously injured if you do not
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you do not
follow instructions.
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury or
product damage.
Your hand or fingers can be injured.
Do not place in area of moving parts.

Napa Technology Customer Support 800.603.6550 Page 5
Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install WineStation.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, the WineStation must be properly grounded.
Have the wall outlet and the circuit checked by a qualified electrician
to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.
Recommended Grounding Method
The WineStation should always be plugged into its own individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated
for 115 Vac, 10A 50/60 Hz, AC only (230Vac 10A 50/60Hz in Europe). This provides the best performance
and also prevents overloading facility wiring circuits which could cause a fire hazard from overheated wires.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the WineStation be provided. Use receptacles which
cannot be turned off with a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord. Where a standard two-
prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with
a properly grounded three-prong wall outlet.
Do not, under any circumstances, cut or remove the third (ground) prong from the power cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing of parts, turn the control OFF and
then disconnect the WineStation from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the
WineStation to the electrical source and reset the controls to the desired setting.
3-prong grounding type wall receptacle
Ensure 3-prong grounded plug
exists before use

abrasive cleaners to remove tape or residue. These products can damage
the surface of your WineStation.
Excessive Weight Hazard!
Your WineStation is heavy (see Product Specifications).
Always use two or more persons to move the WineStation
Failure to do so can result in serious back or other injury.
Protect your Counter top / Installation Area!
When moving the WineStation for installation, cleaning
or service purposes, be sure to protect your counter top.
Always lift and pull the WineStation straight out when
moving it. Do not wiggle or walk the WineStation, as
this may cause counter top and/or product damage.

2. Installing the WineStation.
a. Carefully lift the WineStation, while detaching it from the lower foam cushioning,
and position the WineStation into the installation location.
b. Ensure that the WineStation is properly leveled. If necessary, adjust the four
leveling feet on the bottom of the unit by turning them in the appropriate
direction. Normally, all four leveling feet should be fully tightened (as short as
possible). DO NOT remove the leveling feet – they are required for proper air
circulation; doing so will void the warranty. (See Appendix Product Specifications
for clearance and spacing information.)
3. Connecting the Gas Cylinder.

d. Turn gas tank valve on.
Note: If you have purchased a pack of Napa Technology Argon Gas disposable tanks
follow these instructions:
a. Remove the plastic cap from the gas tank.
b. Install the gas regulator assembly (provided) into the gas tank.
Note: The gas regulator provided with the purchase of the Napa Technology
Argon Gas disposable tanks are different from the regulators provided to
customers who choose to source the gas externally.

a. Open the bottle and place it on a flat, dry surface.
b. If you have a Head Selection Tool (see photo), insert it into
the bottleneck to determine the correct gasket size.
If you do not have a Head Selection Tool, try inserting
different heads into the bottle, from wide to narrow (green,
red, white), until you find the correct size that fits.
Note:
 •Thegasketshouldbefullyun-tightened(collaralltheway

 •Thecorrectsizedgasketshouldgointothebottleeasily,
with one arm extended forward. Do not lean on the head
or use force, as this may damage the gasket.
c. Take a clean dispensing head of the size you selected. Check that the gasket is in
good condition, the cap is properly mounted, and the rotor switch is in the correct
position. (See the “Cleaning and Care” section for more details).
d. Insert a clean pick up tube into the bottle. (It is normal for the upper end of the tube
to extend beyond the tip of the bottle at this point).
e. Insert the upper end of the pick up tube firmly into the opening on the bottom of the
 head,asshown.(Keeptherestofthetubeinsidethebottlewhiledoingthis).

Head Selection Tool
f. Carefully insert the dispensing head (with
the pick up tube attached) into the bottle.
The head should go in easily with one arm
extended forward. Do not lean on the head
or force it in, as this may damage the gasket
and/or the top of the glass wine bottle.

Napa Technology Customer Support 800.603.6550 Page 15
g. Turn the head to align the spout with the bottle label.
h. Press down on the head with one hand. While pressing, tighten the collar (turn
clockwise) with your other hand. Use only two fingers and your thumb to turn (no
need to use the entire force of your hand). As you turn, the gasket will expand
inside the bottleneck, sealing and holding the bottle from the inside.
Important:
Before inserting the head into the
bottle, always make sure that the
collar is fully un-tightened (turn the
collar all the way up until it touches
the main body, as shown).
1. Press down on the
head with one hand.
The head should rest
firmly on the bottle.
Do not let the tube
push the head out
of the bottle. (instead,
the tube should coil
slightly at the bottom
of bottle.)
2. Tighten the collar (turn
clockwise) with your other hand.
Turn only with your thumb and two
fingers, to avoid applying too much
pressure.
3. Do not over-tighten. If more
than three threads become visible,
either the gasket is damaged or you
could be using the wrong size.
Untighten the collar, remove the
head, check the gasket for damage,
verify the correct size, wipe the
gasket and bottleneck dry,
and try again.

Napa Technology Customer Support 800.603.6550 Page 16
2. Final Verification
Lift the bottle in the air about 1-2”, holding it only by the head. Gently pull up the
head a bit higher and lower it down a few times, to check if it holds the bottle properly.
If all has been done correctly the bottle should not slip out, and you should not feel
any looseness of the gasket inside the bottleneck.
If the bottle begins to slip, or the gasket feels loose, put the bottle down and do the
following:
1. Hold the head in place with one hand.
2. With your other hand, fully un-tighten the collar (until it touches the main body).
3. Remove the dispensing head from the bottle and detach it from the pickup tube.
4. Check the gasket for damage. If needed, replace with an undamaged head.
5. Check the correct gasket size. If needed, switch to a wider gasket size.
6. Wipe the gasket and inner part of the bottleneck dry, and try again.
Congratulations! You are now ready to insert the bottle into the WineStation.
Important: When carrying around bottles
with the dispensing heads attached, always
hold the bottle itself (and not just the head),
as an extra safety precaution.
