Instructions for mushroom capping:
(Use only the appropriate cork stopper for sparkling wines)

1. Fully raise the corking lever (A).
2. Place the bottle on the platform (E) and insert the neck of the bottle into the opening (C).
3. Insert the cork into its designated seat, created by the automatic opening of the compression jaws (B).
4. Adjust, using the washer (D) positioned on the insertion punch, the ratio between the part of the cork inserted into the bottle neck and the part that, remaining outside the bottle, will take on the characteristic mushroom shape (normally on a whole cork the ratio will be: 2/5 of the cork outside, 3/5 of the cork inside).
5. Forcefully lower the lever (A), thus inserting the cork into the bottle and leaving outside the remaining part that will form the characteristic “mushroom head.”
6. Raise the lever (A) again, press on the support platform (E), and remove the bottle.
7. Insert the cage over the cork and press both with the ULISSE crown corking machine and while holding it down tighten the cage.

Instructions for flush corking:

Follow the same instructions. In this case the washer must be adjusted so that the cap is completely inside the bottle. Do not perform step 7.
