Operating Instructions

The Vollrath 465312 pitcher is designed for serving cold beverages. Follow these guidelines for optimal use:

• Filling: Fill the pitcher with your desired cold beverage, such as water, iced tea, or lemonade. Avoid overfilling to prevent spills.
• Pouring: Grip the ergonomic handle firmly. Tilt the pitcher to pour the beverage smoothly. The bell-shaped design and spout are crafted for controlled pouring.
• Temperature: This pitcher is intended for cold beverages. Do not use it for hot liquids, as the stainless steel can become hot to the touch and pose a burn risk.

Maintenance and Care

Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your stainless steel pitcher.

• Cleaning: Wash the pitcher by hand with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
• Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Immediately dry the pitcher with a soft, lint-free cloth to prevent water spots and maintain its shine. Air drying may lead to mineral deposits.
• Stubborn Stains: For stubborn stains or discoloration, a stainless steel cleaner or a paste made of baking soda and water can be used. Apply with a soft cloth, rub gently in the direction of the grain, then rinse and dry.
• Avoid: Do not use abrasive cleaners, steel wool, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the stainless steel finish.

Troubleshooting

Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:

• Water Spots: If water spots appear after washing, they are likely due to mineral deposits from hard water. To prevent this, always dry the pitcher immediately after rinsing with a soft cloth. For existing spots, a solution of vinegar and water can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
• Dull Finish: A dull finish can result from improper cleaning or residue buildup. Ensure you are using mild soap and drying thoroughly. A stainless steel polish can restore shine.
• Scratches: While stainless steel is durable, it can scratch. Avoid using abrasive materials or harsh scrubbing. Minor scratches may be less noticeable on the brushed-satin exterior.
