Maintenance and Care

- Storage: Store the pitcher in a clean, dry place when not in use.
Troubleshooting
While the TP3 pitcher is designed for durability, certain issues may arise:
- Cracking: Prolonged exposure to very hot liquids, especially directly on seams, can potentially lead to cracking over time. To mitigate this, consider adding a small amount of ice or cool water to the pitcher before brewing, or ensure the hot liquid stream is not consistently directed at a single point on the pitcher's interior.
- Lid Fit: If the lid does not fit securely, ensure it is properly aligned and free from any debris.
