■ Dispense the whole bottle of water using the dispensing lever (see below dispensing the
wine).
■ Soap and cleaning agents can affect the wine taste. So, it is possible, and recommended,
to clean the locking piston assemblies and the machine internal circuit with just a thorough
hot water flush. Rinse until you see water run clear. Dry with a soft cloth, paper towel or
allow for the locking piston to air-dry.
■ Never immerse the appliance in water!
It is recommended to insert the locking piston into the wine bottle in the kitchen.
To insert the locking piston into the wine bottle, follow the directions below:
■ Open the door of the cooling chamber you would like to use.
■ Press the unlocking button located on the dispensing head (3).
■ The dispensing head will be open automatically and will stay at an angle (around 45°).
■ Push the dispensing head a bit further (around 70 °) (4).
■ In case the wine chamber does not contain any bottle, hold the locking piston at its base
and pull it out gently from the machine (5). The piston should come off the machine entirely.
■ If a bottle is already inserted, pull out the bottle and the locking piston by holding firmly to
the base of the locking piston. Once the bottle and locking piston are out of the unit, remove
the piston from the bottle by opening its side handle. The handle should be in a horizontal
position to allow the piston to be safely removed from the bottle.
■ Always rinse the locking piston and the machine internal parts thoroughly between each
new bottle insertions to preserve the wine taste (refer to the maintenance section, “Cleaning
the appliance” when replacing the bottle).
■ To insert the locking piston into the wine bottle, open the side handle located on the cap
and ensure it stays in a horizontal position.
■ Uncork the wine bottle and insert the locking piston into the bottle, keeping the side handle
in its horizontal position (6).
■ To safely position the locking piston into the bottle after it has been inserted in the bottle,
push the plastic cap side handle downward to secure the locking piston tightly inside the
wine bottle (7).
■ IMPORTANT: to ensure that the locking piston is secured and in place, gently pull on the
locking piston cap. The cap should stay in place and attached to the bottle. If the cap comes
loose, please follow the locking piston bottle insertion instructions above.
■ While supporting the wine bottle from the bottom, take the bottle with the locking piston
safely secured to the top of your bottle to your wine dispenser.
■ Open the cooling chamber door and “plug” the locking piston into the top of the cooling
chamber by pushing it all the way in until it reaches its final position, continuing to support
the wine bottle from the bottom (8). The wine bottle should be held up through the locking
piston and its bottom will not rest at the base of the cooling chamber if inserted properly.
■ Reposition the dispensing head to its functioning position by pushing it down. A clicking
noise will be indicative of the proper closure of the dispending head (9-10).
■ Close the cooling chamber door.
■ After the bottle is installed and the door is closed, the LED lighting will blink. This indicates
that the machine is entering its wine preservation process, removing oxygen from the bottle
using a vaccum pump.
■ The LED lighting will stop blinking and will remain lit once the wine has reached its optimal
preservation stage.
