Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the safe and effective use of your Swan Retro Kitchen Storage Canisters. This set includes three iron canisters designed for storing kitchen perishables like tea, coffee, and sugar. Featuring a retro-inspired design with elegant chrome detailing, these canisters offer both functionality and style for your kitchen.

Operating Instructions

- Filling: Fill the canister with your desired dry goods, such as tea, coffee, or sugar. Do not overfill.
- Closing: To close, align the lid with the canister opening and press down firmly around the edges until the snap closure engages. This creates an airtight seal to keep contents fresh.
- Intended Use: These canisters are designed for dry food storage only. Do not use for liquids or items requiring refrigeration.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and appearance of your Swan Retro Kitchen Storage Canisters.
- Cleaning: Hand wash only. Do not use a dishwasher. Wash with warm, soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth.
- Drying: Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth. Ensuring complete dryness is crucial to prevent water spots and rust, especially on the iron body and chrome detailing.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, harsh chemicals, or scouring pads, as these can scratch the finish and damage the chrome.
- Storage: Store in a dry environment. Avoid areas with high humidity.
Troubleshooting
- Lid not sealing properly: Ensure the lid is correctly aligned with the canister body. Press down firmly around the entire rim until the snap closure engages. Check for any food particles or debris on the rim that might obstruct the seal.
- Appearance of rust spots: These canisters are made of iron. To prevent rust, always hand wash and dry immediately after cleaning. Avoid leaving them wet or in highly humid conditions. Minor rust spots can often be gently removed with a mild metal polish or a paste of baking soda and water, followed by thorough drying.
- Scratches on surface: Avoid using abrasive cleaning tools or harsh chemicals. Handle with care to prevent impacts that could chip or scratch the finish.
