Does the cord come off the side of the socket or do you have to drill a hole in the glass bottle?

It has options for both. I chose to run the cord through the bottle and out the bottom. But it is slotted to come out the side at the top.

you can do either. the black hole in the end cap can be used to run the cord outside the bottle or you can drill a hole and run the cord through the bottle.

The base of the socket (see lower right of the products image) includes two openings for the cord, one through the center of the socket and one off to the side (the one with a black plastic grommet).

You have to drill a hole in the glass bottle. But you can buy a kit that the cord comes off the side, no drilling required.

I received this about three weeks ago. While I am happy with the product, the cord does not run down inside. In order to do that, you need a different fixture altogether and a carbide drill bit to drill the glass while running cool water over the drill spot. My bottle has some sentimental value so I did not want to chance it. I did successfully use two small pieces of black electrical tape to tape the cord to the back of the bottle and minimize the visible cord. As the lamp is backed by a wall, the cord is not noticeable. Hope this helps.

Sorry, Jeffrey, I never thought about it. I live in the States and it plugged into a regular socket fixture where it has worked fine ever since. Cord is not overly long btw. It does give off a lot of hot steam towards the end of its' cycle, so you don't want to position it under a cupboard. I have the pourer facing away from my 'above' cabinets. I like it well enough, but it's really not that much quicker than a regular stove top kettle. It pours cleanly and is helpful for filling hot water bottles and the like. I moved so not sure where my instruction booklet is - apologies for not answering this query properly. Sorry, Jeffrey, I never thought about it.

The cord is is attached to the side of the unit. You then plug it into a wall socket.

Yes. You take off the blue cover (the bottle will still be sealed) and put it in the silverware bin upside down. Do everything you can to make sure the dishwasher water is hot - adjust settings (you don't need heated drying, though) and run the tap until the water is hot - and it will melt the plug during the cleaning cycle. It does seem like a bit much, but it works.

The cord comes out on the right hand side 1/2 inch up . There should be no problem with it wearing out at all. I have had mine for a year and love it. I hope this helps. It is worth it ...

There are two screws on top and opposite each other where the glass meets the metal. The screws require a flat head screwdriver for removal. Once they are removed the lid will lift off enabling access to the bulb area.

You will have to pull at the cord wrap area (the plastic piece along the cord, the egg shaped thing) one side retracts and one side pulls it out farther. Good luck.

The bottom of the bottles comes off - to get the cork out, you have to remove the plastic seal on the end. It is fairly easy to push the cork INTO the bottle. Several recipients did get everything out through the small end, and boy did I hear about their struggles.

I put the male side of the cord though one of the holes that has the second small hole on each side and kind of "clipped" it there. If it wouldn't stay then I would hold that end of the cord there and just start winding it around. Hope that helps.

No, I have this kit. This works like a cork/bottle stopper and the wire comes out of the top. It makes creating a lamp super easy though. No drillng!

There is a "stopper" on the cord which leaves about 12 inches of cord plus the plug exposed. In all honesty, I seldom retract the cord. I figured it would be a part that wears out quickly, so I just coil the cord.

Cord is attached at bottom but the base of the crockpot is notched to allow it to sit flat. I have not had any issues with the cord location

Hi. I just went in and removed the bulb to make sure. First unscrew the cover over the bulb. Next you have to have strong fingers but push the bulb and turn it until you feel it loosen up. It does not completely unscrew out of the socket. When you feel it's loose turn the unit upside down and the bulb should fall out. Once this happens you will see how the bulb is held in the socket. Hope this helps.

There is a place on one side where you can screw in a water bottle. I've never tried it so I can't say how well it works.

There is a plug that will release if pulled with a moderate force. I have gotten off my bike, forgot to unplug the cord, went to walk away and the plug came apart. However, I have adjusted and lubricated the plug for easy separation just for such an event.

It has a screw tied to the stand that you take the plug out. So when you actually put the pouring plug you put it while the bottle is standing... then you go ahead and mount it. Liquid doesn't get wasted at all :)
