or damaged in any manner. Return appliance to

for examination, repair or electrical or mechanical
adjustment.

3. To protect against risk of electrical shock, do not put
the electric wine preserver in water or other liquids.
This may cause personal injury and/or damage to
the product.

4. To protect against re, do not operate the unit in the
presence of explosive and/or ammable fumes.

hazards.

8. For indoor use only. Do not expose the wine
preserver or charging base to rain or other extreme
conditions.

power cord.

12. Do not operate your appliance in an appliance
garage or under a wall cabinet. When storing in an

appliance garage, always unplug the unit from
the electrical outlet. Not doing so could create a

risk of re, especially if the appliance touches the
walls of the garage or the door touches the unit as it
closes.

13. Store appliance in a cool, dry place.

14. DO NOT allow children access to the plastic
packaging bags.

15. Extreme care should be taken when any product
is used near children and individuals with certain
