Setup and First Use
Before using your RCR Laurus Round Glass Plate for the first time, follow these simple steps:
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the plate from its packaging. Inspect for any signs of damage during transit. If any damage is observed, do not use the product and contact customer support.
- Initial Cleaning: Wash the plate thoroughly with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid scratching the surface.
- Rinsing: Rinse the plate completely under running water to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Dry the plate immediately with a clean, lint-free towel to prevent water spots. Alternatively, allow it to air dry completely before storage or use.
Operating Instructions
The RCR Laurus Round Glass Plate is designed for serving food items. Follow these guidelines for optimal use:
- Serving: Place food items directly onto the plate. Its 33 cm diameter makes it suitable for main courses, appetizers, desserts, or as a decorative centerpiece.
- Temperature Considerations: While the plate is microwave safe, avoid sudden and extreme temperature changes, which can cause thermal shock and lead to breakage. Do not place a hot plate directly onto a cold surface or vice-versa.
- Handling: Always handle the plate with care, especially when it contains food, to prevent accidental drops or impacts.
Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your RCR Laurus Round Glass Plate.
- Cleaning: The plate is dishwasher safe. For best results and to prevent water spots, use a gentle cycle and a non-abrasive detergent. If washing by hand, use warm water and mild dish soap with a soft sponge.
- Drying: Dry immediately after washing to prevent water marks, especially in areas with hard water.
- Storage: Store plates carefully to prevent chipping or scratching. If stacking, consider placing a soft cloth or paper towel between each plate to protect the surfaces.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch or damage the glass surface.
