2. Setup
- Unpack: Carefully remove the canister and its lid from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash both the ceramic canister and the wooden lid. Refer to the "Maintenance and Care" section for detailed cleaning instructions. Ensure all parts are completely dry before assembly and use.
- Placement: Place the canister on a stable, flat surface in your kitchen or pantry.
3. Operating Instructions
- Filling the Canister: Remove the wooden lid. Pour your desired dry food item, such as coffee beans or ground coffee, into the ceramic canister. Do not overfill; leave a small space at the top to allow the lid to seal properly.
- Sealing the Canister: Place the wooden lid firmly onto the ceramic canister. The silicone ring on the underside of the lid will create an airtight seal when pressed down. This seal helps to keep contents fresh.
- Accessing Contents: To open, gently lift the wooden lid. The airtight seal may require a slight pull.

4. Maintenance and Care
- Ceramic Canister: The ceramic body is dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use a mild dishwashing liquid and a non-abrasive sponge. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely.
- Wooden Lid: The wooden lid should be hand washed only. Use a mild dishwashing liquid and a soft sponge. Do not soak the lid in water, as this can damage the wood. Rinse quickly and dry immediately with a cloth. Allow to air dry completely before reattaching to the canister.
- Silicone Ring: The silicone ring can be removed from the lid for cleaning. Wash with mild soap and water, rinse, and ensure it is dry before reattaching to the lid.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on any part of the canister or lid, as this can scratch surfaces.
- Microwave Use: The canister is not microwave safe.
5. Troubleshooting
- Lid not sealing properly: Ensure the silicone ring is correctly seated around the wooden lid. Check for any food particles or debris on the rim of the canister or the silicone ring that might prevent a tight seal.
- Difficulty opening the lid: The airtight seal can sometimes create a slight vacuum. Gently twist and pull the lid upwards. If it's still difficult, try wiggling it slightly while pulling.
- Canister appears wet after washing: Ensure both the ceramic canister and especially the wooden lid are completely dry before storing food. Moisture can affect the contents and the wood.
