Troubleshooting
Teapot is not heating evenly in the microwave.
Ensure the microwave is functioning correctly and the teapot is placed centrally. Microwave-safe functionality is for reheating, not primary cooking.
Visible scratches on the teapot surface.
This is likely due to abrasive cleaning tools or contact with rough surfaces. Use only soft cloths or sponges and avoid harsh scouring pads.
Tea leaves escaping from the spout.
Ensure the lid is properly seated. For very fine tea leaves, consider using an infuser or tea strainer when pouring.
Teapot arrived with a chip or crack.
Contact the retailer or manufacturer for a replacement, as this is likely a shipping or manufacturing defect.
