FAQs
How do I clean the pin dish?
Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the dish clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Are the included pins rust-resistant?
The included pins are designed for general use. Store them in a dry environment to help prevent rust.
What is the purpose of the clear plastic cover?
The clear plastic cover protects the pins from dust and prevents accidental spills.
Can I use this dish with any type of pin?
The dish works best with steel pins. Other pins may not adhere as strongly.
What should I do if the magnet loses its strength?
Magnets typically do not lose strength over time. If the dish seems less effective, ensure it is clean and that the pins are making proper contact.
Is the pin dish safe for children?
Keep the pin dish away from children as it contains small pins that may be a choking hazard.
Troubleshooting
Pins are not sticking to the dish.
Ensure the pins are made of a ferrous metal (steel). Check for any debris on the dish that might be preventing contact.
Dish is unstable and tipping over.
Ensure the dish is placed on a flat, stable surface.
Difficulty picking up dropped pins.
Make sure the dish is close enough to the floor and move it slowly over the pins to allow the magnet to attract them.
