Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Café Stål Bellux Teapot requires no assembly. It is ready to use directly out of the box.
Compatibility: This teapot is designed for brewing and serving hot beverages like tea and coffee. It is compatible with most stovetops for heating water, though it's recommended to use a separate kettle for boiling water to preserve the teapot's finish. It is suitable for use with loose-leaf tea or tea bags.
Care Instructions:
- Pre-use Cleaning: Before the first use, wash the teapot with warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- Daily Cleaning: The teapot is dishwasher safe. For optimal results and to maintain the mirror-polished finish, hand-washing with a soft sponge and mild detergent is recommended. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the surface.
- Drying: After washing, dry the teapot immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains or mineral deposits, a paste of baking soda and water can be gently applied and then rinsed off. Alternatively, a specialized stainless steel cleaner can be used according to product instructions.
- Polishing: To restore the shine, use a soft cloth and a stainless steel polish, following the grain of the metal.
