1. Remove the foil with Screwpull’s easy to use Foil Cutter and raise the Lever arm completely back to an “open” position.
2. Clasp the neck of the wine bottle with the grips until the black pins protrude from the metal axis (see photograph below).
3. Gently bring the lever forward, allowing the screw to penetrate the cork (diagram 1)
4. Continue to grasp the arms and gently bring the lever arm back to the open position (diagram 2).
5. To release the cork from the screw, remove the Lever Model from the wine bottle; holding the arms together bring the lever completely forward and then back (diagram 3).
6. The self-releasing action of the Lever Model is not recommended for use on synthetic corks.

Replacing the Screw in Your Lever Model

After opening approximately 5 bottles/week for around 8 years (~2000 bottles) the coated screw may show signs of wear, making the Lever Model slightly more difficult to use. It is then necessary replace the screw. To replace the screw, simply unscrew the protective chrome head, remove the screw, insert the new screw and replace the protective chrome head.

The accumulation of wine deposits on the corkscrew and particles of cork on various parts of the Lever Model can affect its efficiency. We recommend that you clean it regularly using a damp cloth or warm soapy water. Please take care not to use lubricants on your Lever Model. Screwpull products are not dishwasher safe.
