Troubleshooting
Tea leaves escaping the infuser
Ensure the infuser basket is fully seated and that tea leaves are not packed too tightly. For very fine teas, consider using a finer mesh strainer or a tea bag.
Drips during pouring
Ensure the spout is clean and free from debris. Pour steadily. If dripping persists, check for any minor dents or misalignment in the spout.
Handle becomes hot
The handle is designed to be stay-cool. If it becomes excessively hot, ensure you are not placing the teapot on a heat source. There might be an issue with the insulation, contact customer support.
Stains on stainless steel
Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and then rinsed. Dry thoroughly after washing.
