Maintenance
The mesh food covers are designed for durability and easy cleaning.
- Cleaning: If the mesh screen becomes stained or dirty, simply rinse it under cold water.
- Drying: Allow the covers to air dry completely before folding and storing them to prevent mildew.
- Storage: Fold the covers into their compact umbrella shape for convenient storage until next use.
Note: Avoid pulling violently during the opening process to ensure longevity of the product.
Troubleshooting
- Cover does not pop open easily: Ensure the central string is pulled firmly and directly upwards. Check for any tangles in the internal support rods.
- Cover does not stay open: Verify that the top mechanism is fully engaged and slotted into its locked position. A gentle push down on the top piece after pulling up should secure it.
- Cover is unstable in windy conditions: While the covers are lightweight for portability, strong winds may dislodge them. Consider placing a small weight on the edges or using them in less windy areas during outdoor use.
- Bugs still getting in: Ensure the cover's edges are flush with the surface the food is on. The 1mm dense mesh holes are designed to keep out most small flying insects.
