How do you use a rabbit vacuum wine stopper?

To use a Rabbit vacuum wine stopper, follow these simple steps:

1. Prepare the bottle: Ensure that the wine bottle is clean and free from any debris or residue. This will help maintain the quality and taste of the wine.

2. Insert the stopper: Insert the Rabbit vacuum wine stopper into the bottle opening. The stopper should fit snugly to create an airtight seal.

3. Attach the hand pump: Once the stopper is in place, attach the hand pump to the top of the stopper. The pump usually has a small hose that connects to the stopper.

4. Pump to create a vacuum: Start pumping the hand pump to create a vacuum inside the bottle. The pump is designed to remove excess air from the bottle, which helps to preserve the wine's freshness and flavor. Continue pumping until you feel resistance and the stopper feels secure.

5. Release the vacuum: To open the bottle, simply press the button located on the top of the stopper. This will release the vacuum pressure and allow you to remove the stopper easily.

Cleaning and maintenance:
– After using the Rabbit vacuum wine stopper, it's important to clean it properly to ensure its longevity and effectiveness. The stopper itself is dishwasher safe, so you can place it in the dishwasher for easy cleaning.
– The hand pump can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. Avoid submerging it in water or washing it in a dishwasher to prevent damage.
– It's a good practice to inspect the stopper and pump regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues, it's best to replace the stopper or pump to maintain optimal performance.
