All you have to do is just push the plate towards the tip of the needle with two thumbs, and the cork will come off.

The Genius Wine Opener works great with common synthetic corks. The opening process is exactly the same as with ordinary corks.&#xA0;The opener is not compatible, however, with any bottles that utilize hard plastic corks.&#xA0;Will using an air-pressure opener &quot;bruise&quot; my wine?Definitely not.How do I remove pieces of cork from the wine opener?<ol><li style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Jiggle the small piece of cork in the opening with a pin or thumb tack. Make sure your fingers are safely out of the way of any sharp device you use.</li><li style="font-family: Tahoma, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Place the Genius Wine Opener guard-face down on a stable, hard surface (like granite) that can handle pressure.

NOTE:&#xA0;Do not get the cork wet! It will expand in the needle and you will have to wait for it to dry.</li></ol>We are not liable for any injuries incurred from advice given here. We do not recommend applying extreme pressure to the Genius Wine Opener. Always operate and repair the wine opener in a safe environment. Do not apply your full body weight to the wine opener at any time. Always use the wine opener on a stable surface. Do not lift your feet off of the ground when applying pressure to the wine opener.

CAUTION:&#xA0;DO NOT HOLD THE NECK OF THE BOTTLE OR THE PLASTIC NEEDLE GUARD WHILE PUMPING! HOLD THE WINE LABEL ON THE BODY OF THE BOTTLE.TIP: Holding the plastic needle guard will prevent the cork from popping out.&#xA0;Why won&apos;t the cork come out of the bottle?The Genius Wine Opener &quot;pops&quot; most bottles open in about 3-5 pumps. However, we find some bottles need a little more air pressure to get the cork out, especially older and synthetic corks. If the cork has moved, but didn&apos;t pop out, give it a few more pumps and repeat.If the cork has not moved at all, the most common cause of this problem is the needle not penetrating the cork completely. This is generally because...&#x2022; The cork is unusually long. &#x2022; The needle is unable to penetrate the cork. &#x2022; The needle has not been inserted correctly. &#x2022; The needle was not inserted all the way through the cork. &#x2022; The needle was inserted at an angle instead of straight through the cork.Why isn&apos;t my Genius Wine Opener getting any pressure?If you&#x2019;re not feeling resistance when you push down on the handle while pumping, first ensure proper use by <a rel="noopener undefined" target="_blank">checking out the &quot;How To&quot; info</a>.&#xA0;If there is still no resistance, it&apos;s possible that the gasket has come loose or needs lubrication. This is a very quick &amp; simple fix. <a href="https://vimeo.com/844724693" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">You can watch our video demonstrating how to do this by clicking here.</a> If it&apos;s not working correctly, send us an email at warehouse@corkgenius.com.
