Setup

Unboxing

Carefully remove the glass pitcher and its components from the packaging. Inspect all parts for any damage. The package includes the glass pitcher, a stainless steel lid, and a long-handled cleaning brush.

Initial Cleaning

Before first use, wash the pitcher and lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse completely and dry. The included long-handled brush can assist in cleaning the interior.

Operating Instructions

Filling the Pitcher

The pitcher features a wide mouth, making it easy to fill with water, ice, fruit, or other ingredients. Ensure not to overfill past the optimal use capacity of 60 ounces (1.8 liters) to prevent spills.

Using the Lid

Place the stainless steel lid onto the pitcher. The silicone ring on the lid ensures a snug fit. The lid has a filter opening to retain larger ingredients like fruit pulp or ice when pouring. Rotate the lid to align the pouring spout with the desired opening (filtered or open) for serving.

Pouring Beverages

Tilt the pitcher to pour. The anti-drip spout is designed for smooth, controlled pouring. Ensure the lid is properly seated and aligned to prevent spills.

Temperature Use (Hot & Cold)

The borosilicate glass construction allows the pitcher to safely hold both hot and cold liquids. It is stovetop safe for low heat applications, allowing you to boil water directly in the pitcher. Avoid extreme thermal shock by not rapidly changing temperatures (e.g., pouring ice water into a very hot pitcher or vice-versa).

Maintenance

Cleaning

The pitcher is dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to maintain its pristine condition and extend its lifespan. The wide mouth and included long-handled brush facilitate easy manual cleaning. The lid is detachable for thorough cleaning of all components.

Storage

The pitcher's 7.87-inch tall body is designed to fit conveniently in most refrigerator doors for cold brewing or storage of prepared beverages.

Troubleshooting

Leaking Lid

If the lid leaks, ensure the silicone seal is properly seated around the lid and the pitcher's rim. Press down firmly to create a secure fit. Check for any debris that might be preventing a tight seal.

Glass Breakage or Cracking

While made from durable borosilicate glass, the pitcher is still glass and can break if subjected to strong impacts or sudden, extreme temperature changes. Handle with care and avoid dropping or bumping against hard surfaces. Do not use if cracked or chipped.
