Operating the Wine Vacuum Cork
1 Remove bottom cap. Fully place the
wine vacuum cork on top of the neck
of an opened bottle of wine. Hold
the bottle of wine securely with
one hand and push the unit down
firmly and twist slightly to secure
the seal with the other hand. This
will activate the pump as shown in
figure 1. Repeat if necessary.
Note: It is not necessary to press
any buttons to activate the pump.
Once vacuum process starts, you
can release the vacuum cork.
Vacuum process has two stages.
Stage One
The automatic vacuum pump activates, evacuating excess
air from inside the wine bottle. The“o”icon will move across
the display while the motor is running as shown in figure 2.
The blue back light will remain on during this time.
figure 1

The pressure indicator on top of the unit will begin to sink
as the pressure in the bottle is reduced. Then a second
evacuation stage will automatically follow to extract the
air for a tighter seal.
Stage Two
During this stage the display will show the remaining
seconds counting down from 60 in increments of 1 second.
Once it reaches the last second and the display shows“1”,
the air pump will stop and the display will show the current
temperature of the wine inside in degrees Fahrenheit as
shown in figure 3.
The back light remains on for another 5 seconds.
The display will then completely shut off 60 seconds after
the motor stops.
Note: If the pressure in the bottle
does not reach the pre-set value in
the first 60 seconds of air extraction,
the display will show “Err” as shown
in the fig 4. If this happens please
check the following:
a Whether the Wine Vacuum Cork
is properly placed on top of the
neck of the bottle.
b Whether the silicone gasket fits the opening of the bottle.
c Whether there are any external objects on the opening
or neck of the bottle.

Note: Most vacuum seals lose their vacuum over time. With
our unique Two Stage process, the device senses this loss in
pressure and reactivates the 2nd stage automatically to
ensure a better vacuum seal.
Converting the Temperature from
Fahrenheit to Celsius
(The default temperature unit is Fahrenheit)
1 Press and hold the temperature display button for about
2 seconds in stand by mode to activate the display.
2 Next press and hold the temperature display button for
about 5 seconds. The display will then switch to show
the temperature in degrees Celsius. You can toggle from
F to C or C to F again by pressing and holding for
another 5 seconds.
The back light remains on for another 5 seconds during
this phase. The display will then completely shut off after
60 seconds.
Automatic Tilt Shut Off
Do not tilt the bottle while the
vacuum is in use. If the bottle is tilted
beyond 45 degrees, the automatic
tilt shutoff feature stops the vacuum
process. This helps avoid spills. The
Display will show “––––“, asshown
in figure 5. The blue back light will
remain on for another 5 seconds
then turn off but the display will
continue to show “––––“.Ifthis happens
refer to the FAQ’s section for help.

Low battery warning
When the batteries are low the
display will show a low battery
warning as shown in figure 6.

for another 5 seconds then turn off
but the display will continue to
show“Lo”. If this happens refer to the
FAQ’s section for help
Releasing vacuum seal and removing the unit
from bottle
1 Press the pressure release button. Wait for the vacuum
to be released from the bottle (this will take a few seconds).
2 Hold bottle with one hand, then pull unit off with
the other.
3 Pour and enjoy.
Storing your wine with the
Wine Vacuum Cork attached
1 It is recommended to store your bottle in the upright
position for an optimal seal.
2 Bottles can be stored on their sides once they are vacuum
sealed, however the re-evacuation process will not occur
as the bottle has been tilted past the 45 degree angle.
Note: A bottle sealed with the unit may be stored in
the refrigerator however, cold temperatures may reduce
the battery performance. Do not operate the unit in
freezing temperatures.

FAQs
What do I do if the display reads “Err”?
This means the pressure inside the bottle has not reached
the preset value. If this happens please check the following:
a Whether the Wine Vacuum Cork is properly placed on
top of the neck of the bottle.
b Whether the silicone gasket fits the opening of the
bottle.
c Whether there is any external objects on the opening
or neck of the bottle.
What do I do if the display reads “––––”?

keeping the bottle upright.
