My question was not answered. The cork which was removed from the wine bottle is stuck in the Rabbit electric wine opener. The device is fully charged. There are no switches.

twist the top black part to remove (it's the cap for the usb charger)
press the little white 'eject' button to start a cycle, then carefully place a small screwdriver inside the throat and hold the cork in place.

The motor should drive it out.

What's likely happening is the cork broke off while opening, and there's not enough in the machine to "catch" the feature meant to stop it from rotating on extraction. Hence using the screwdriver to keep it from rotating.

EDIT: Yes you can push the black thing in to try to catch the cork and extract it...I highly recommend NOT using your finger to do this...

It automatically ejects removed cork from corkscrew, if this does not happen then it is faulty and needs to be returned under warranty.

I assume you are talking about the rabbit wine bottle cork remover. here is a you tube video on how to. hope this helps . How To Use The Metrokane Rabbit Corkscrew

The following seems to work, but might be tough if you don't drink the wine first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y82j3R7tXw

amazing that noone has answered this question including the people at Waring - I have no idea how to do this

We learned that NONE of these electric wine openers like the new "plastic" corks. Take a needle nosed plyers and hold the cork tightly(as it sits inside the housing) and gently push the button to release the cork. it should work.

Use a screwdriver (or whatever) to push the inner ring at the opening as far inside the appliance as you can. It is a black piece with a spring action that has plastic molded ridges inside. The ridges on the inner edge of this will grasp the cork. Then, while you are holding the inner section in place as far inside as possible, push the button to operate the opener and the cork should come out as it normally should. I had half a cork stuck up there, and this just worked perfectly.

We had the same problem, and we took the thing apart, unscrewed the cork from the corkscrew and put it back together. You have to make sure you line everything up properly inside, though. There are contact points that need to be lined up on the inside.
