Troubleshooting
Water flow is inconsistent.
Ensure the spout is clear of any debris. Check that the can is tilted at an appropriate angle to allow for a steady stream.
Water leaks from the body of the can.
Inspect the can for any cracks or damage. If damage is found, discontinue use. Ensure the cap (if applicable) is securely fitted, though this model does not feature a separate cap.
Surface appears dull or scratched.
Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Try cleaning with a mild soap and water solution and a soft cloth. For minor scuffs, a plastic polish designed for acrylics might be considered, but test in an inconspicuous area first.
