BEFORE YOU BEGIN

Before using the EvolutionX^™ Cordless Rechargeable 4-in-1 Wine Center for the first time, we recommend that you wipe the unit with a clean, damp cloth to remove any dirt or dust. Dry it thoroughly with a soft, absorbent cloth.

CHARGING YOUR WINE CENTER/BATTERY USE

The batteries in your EvolutionX^™ Cordless Rechargeable 4-in-1 Wine Center have not been fully charged. Before the first use of this appliance, the batteries must be charged until the blue battery indicator light illuminates. With a full charge, your wine center will run for approximately 20 minutes, depending on load. Your wine center will be fully charged in approximately 2 hours.

Battery Life Indicator Lights: When the unit displays 3 blue power lights, you are between 100% and 75% of battery power. Two blue power lights: When illuminated, you are between 75% and 25% of battery power. One blue power light: When illuminated, you are at less than 25% and will need to charge soon.

NOTE: Do not leave your wine opener uncharged for an extended period of time, as it will affect the life of the rechargeable battery.

FOIL CUTTER

For your convenience, this unit has a foil cutter, which is stored in the base of the unit. Before removing the cork, you must remove any foil from the bottle. Attach foil cutter to the top of the wine bottle. Keep hand on lower part of the bottle and turn foil cutter with a twisting motion to cut into foil. Remove foil to expose top part of cork surface.

Blade on foil cutter is sharp. Please keep fingers away from cutter's sharp edges.

TO OPERATE YOUR WINE OPENER

Place the automatic wine opener on top of the wine bottle and apply pressure. The wine mechanism will begin to remove the cork from the bottle and will stop once the cork has been fully removed from the bottle and wine opener.

1. Place the wine opener on top of the wine bottle, making sure that it remains as straight/ upright as possible at all times. If you hold the automatic wine opener at an angle to the bottle, it will not remove the cork properly.
2. Hold the wine opener firmly and press down with the wine opener on top of the wine bottle. The corkscrew spiral will turn in a counterclockwise direction and enter the cork, then gradually remove it from the bottle. When the automatic mechanism has stopped, the cork has been fully removed from the bottle.
3. The cork, itself, will then automatically remove from the wine opener

TO OPERATE YOUR WINE PRESERVER

1. Place the wine bottle on a flat surface.
2. Insert the bottle stopper into the wine bottle.
3. This is how the wine opener becomes a wine preserver. Hold the bottle stopper and wine bottle neck securely in one hand and place the bottle stopper seating area of the wine opener on the bottle stopper.
4. Keep the wine preserver as straight as possible and in line with the wine bottle.
5. Push down on the bottle stopper. Apply pressure and the wine preserver will begin to work. It will automatically remove the air from the bottle while making a clacking noise.
6. The clacking noise will become slower and stop suddenly after approximately 30 seconds.
7. Do not release the pressure until the unit stops.
8. Remove the wine opener and stand it in the upright position until it is needed again.
9. After sealing the wine bottle, store bottle in the upright position, as wine may leak if it's on its side.

NOTE: During the above process, the wine opener may attach itself to the bottle stopper. In this case, hold the bottle stopper and the neck of the bottle securely in one hand and tilt the wine preserver away from the bottle stopper to break the suction. This should prevent air from reentering the bottle. If in doubt, repeat the above operating process.

Suggestion: For more than half a bottle of wine remaining, one session should suffice. For less than half a bottle, we suggest you follow the steps above a second time.

TO OPERATE YOUR AERATOR

1. Hold your opened bottle of wine in one hand and place the aerator into the top of the bottle.
2. Push the aerator just below the rim of the wine bottle. Make sure it's stable.
3. Pour the liquid through the aerator which will enhance the aromas in your glass of wine.

DATE INDICATORS

1. Use the arrow symbol located on the bottle stoppers to indicate the date when the bottle was sealed with your wine preserver.
2. Gently swivel the silver ring to the left or right until the correct date is in line with it.
   Additional bottle stoppers can be ordered at cuisinart.com.

TO OPEN A SEALED BOTTLE

• Firmly hold the bottle in one hand and gently ease the bottle stopper away from the bottle with the other hand.

RESET button operation

In case the corkscrew spiral gets jammed inside the cork (either accidentally or because battery is low): Simply press the RESET button; the corkscrew spiral will rotate in the opposite direction, allowing you to withdraw the wine opener from the wine bottle. NOTE: Pressing the RESET button will also stop the corkscrew spiral while it's rotating.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

Always unplug the appliance from the electrical outlet before cleaning. To clean housing, wipe with a clean, damp cloth. Never immerse power adapter, charging base or housing in water or any other liquids. Never submerge the motor base in water or other liquids, or place in a dishwasher.

The aerator is not dishwasher safe. Rinse with tap water and dry before storing.

Any other servicing should be performed by an authorized service representative.
