3. Operating Instructions

The Tosca Ceramic Canister is designed for easy access and airtight storage of dry goods.

• Filling: Remove the wooden lid. Fill the ceramic canister with your desired dry food item, such as coffee, sugar, salt, or flour. Avoid overfilling to ensure the lid can close properly.
• Sealing: Place the wooden lid firmly onto the ceramic body. The silicone ring will create a snug, airtight seal. You may need to gently twist the lid to ensure it is fully seated and sealed.
• Opening: To open, gently twist and lift the wooden lid. The airtight seal may provide slight resistance, which is normal.

4. Maintenance and Care

• Ceramic Canister: The ceramic body is dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm water, mild dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before refilling.
• Wooden Lid: Hand wash only. Use warm water and a mild dishwashing liquid. Do not soak the lid in water, as this can cause warping or damage to the wood. Dry the lid immediately after washing.
• Silicone Seal: Periodically check the silicone ring for wear or damage. Ensure it is clean and free of food debris to maintain an effective airtight seal. The silicone ring can be removed for thorough cleaning.

5. Troubleshooting

• Lid not sealing properly:
  • Check if the silicone ring is correctly seated within the lid.
  • Ensure the rim of the canister and the silicone ring are clean and free of any food particles.
  • Avoid overfilling the canister, which can prevent the lid from closing completely.
• Lid is difficult to open:
  • The airtight seal can create a slight vacuum, making the lid snug. Gently twist and lift the lid.
  • If the lid is stuck, try running warm water over the lid for a few seconds to slightly expand the wood, then attempt to open.
