Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare the teapot, simply ensure the stainless steel infuser is properly seated inside the rim. When cleaning, avoid using harsh abrasive sponges that could scratch the glazed surface. Hand wash the teapot and the infuser with mild soap and warm water immediately after use to prevent tea stains from setting. Never place this teapot directly on an open flame or induction burner, as the ceramic material is not designed to withstand direct thermal shock. Always store in a safe, cushioned area to prevent chipping the delicate hobnail exterior.
