I finally got the bottle pried out... but how do you get it back in? Thanks for any help.

You shouldn't have to pry the bottle out the green button above it kicks it out and then you just snap he bottle back in place.It pretty much snaps back in with minimal pressure.

Press down on the upturned side of the green plastic above the bottle. At the same time, pull the bottle from the front. It will only release the bottle, not "pop" it out.

That screw was impossible for me to remove. I did remove it at first and put in batteries, but could not get it out the second time. I finally pried open the compartment and then duct taped it closed. I also had to duct tape the wand on, since it came off or the cats pulled it off. That stayed on. My advice is to, once you get the compartment opened, don't put the screw back in. Just tape the lid.

I use hot water. fill the bottle up, let it sit for a moment, screw the top on and shake. Should come out easily.

Replacing the bottle is very simple. You unscrew the old one and screw in the new one. The type of bottles are the ones that you can get from the camping section of Wal-Mart. They are pretty cheap.

Try putting the bottle head down in a small glass of really hot water, just cover the cap, not the whole bottle. Or try pouring acetone around the opening of the bottle.

Just got the bottle and have tried for 15 minutes to get it open and can't. I have ordered this before and had no problem opening it. Is it possible the pump is defective?

Try to put it into warm water for a while and then try to unscrew it. Good luck.

I wondered the same thing when I got the packaging. You turn the bottle upside down and squeeze to get a drop to come out. I had to squeeze pretty hard too.

You unscrew just like a baby bottle-& refill the small aresol bottle from the larger bottle. then simply screw the lid(s) back on & 'pump' the rounded top until you can feel the pressuse in it. When all done simply unscrew the lid & 'burp' the air out just like a baby bottle has air in it-tighten the lid & put away. When you want to use it again, you simply pump air back into the bottle with the rounded lid.

Super easy!! Just slide your bottle inand zip it closed like a zip lock bag. The bottle will go in the middle with padding on each side.

Hi - to retrieve the cork, simply push the button on top. It's surprising how fast it comes off. I hope this helps.

Loosen Velcro strap from bottom, unscrew the top. Slide plastic strap over the top and pull down elastic straps on the side to slide the bottle out.

Use a screwdriver to wedge down the side of the cap, and pry it out. The cap has a large flange at the bottom that keeps it secured in the ball. You have to force that flange to get it out. Then shake out the light/battery cage. Pay attention to the orientation of the battery cell, for which side is "+". To get the cap back in will seem impossible. What I use is common silicone spray. You can get it at a hardware store. Spray the cap with the silicone spray and it will be so slippery you will easily be able to squeeze the cap flange back into the ball and seat the cap.

Holding the side of the device (don't push down on the top button - that is the RELEASE), simply push it down onto the bottle. You should hear a "click". To open, push the button on top.

Sorry Francina, but I agree with Blake and Bill. I took mine apart and spent hours trying to get the Jeannie back in the bottle, and I'm pretty handy and persistent. Finally gave up, and wrote to FrontGate (the catalogue I bought it from) and they simply replace it. It's the type of repair that you need five hands for (and little hands at that) to hold everything together to get to fit back in the casing. I saved the hose, but recycled everything else. Good luck (HJGoetze@aol.com)

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!
