This appliance is for 120 volts only and should
not be used with a converter.
We recommend that you charge your electric
wine opener for at least eight hours before using
for the fi rst time. Please follow the instructions for

Charging Your Cordless
Wine Opener

of the charging base and the other end into an
electrical outlet. The red power indicator light
will illuminate. Place the wine opener into the
charging base, making sure that it is fi rmly in
position and that it is fully engaged. The green
charge indicator light will fl ash, indicating that
the unit is charging. It will take approximately 6–8
hours to recharge your cordless wine opener.
When your cordless wine opener is fully charged,
the green light will stop fl ashing and become a
solid green light.
Your wine opener can open approximately 80
bottles of wine on a full charge.
Foil Cutter

which is stored in the base of the unit. Before
