How to use

Place the bottle on a stable surface. Center the tip of the spiral worm on the cork and twist the handle clockwise to insert the worm into the cork until secure. Use steady, even force to extract the cork by pulling up on the handle or employing the lever action, depending on the model's specific manual mechanism. Remove the cork from the worm after extraction and wipe any residue from the opener. Store the corkscrew in a dry place when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, ensure the cork is intact before extraction and avoid excessive twisting that could fragment an older cork. If resistance is encountered, pause and re-center the worm before continuing. Clean and dry the corkscrew after contact with wine to preserve the finish and mechanical parts.
