Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to open or close.

Ensure the lid and the rim of the tin are clean and free from debris. If new, a slight sticking can occur; gently work the lid back and forth. If the issue persists, check for any dents on the rim.

Contents do not seem fresh.

Verify that the lid is fully sealed. Check the rubber gasket (if present) for damage or misalignment. Ensure the contents are indeed dry goods and not exposed to excess moisture.

Rust spots appear on the surface.

While made of stainless steel, prolonged exposure to moisture or certain acidic foods can cause minor spotting. Clean the area gently with a soft cloth and a mild detergent, dry immediately, and store in a dry environment.

Tin has a minor dent.

Minor dents typically do not affect the functionality. Ensure the dent does not impede the lid's ability to seal properly. For significant dents affecting the seal, consider replacing the affected tin.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The set requires no assembly. Simply unpack the tins and canisters and place them in your desired kitchen location. Ensure they are placed on a stable, flat surface.

Compatibility: This storage set is designed for dry goods such as tea, coffee, sugar, biscuits, cake, and other similar pantry items. It is not intended for storing fresh produce, liquids, or items requiring refrigeration or freezing.

Care Instructions:

  1. Washing: Hand wash each tin and lid with warm, soapy water. Use a soft cloth or sponge to clean the interior and exterior surfaces.
