Your Bormioli Rocco Selecta Decanter requires no complex setup. Simply unbox and wash before first use. It is compatible with a wide range of beverages including whisky, bourbon, brandy, rum, vodka, gin, and non-carbonated cocktails, as well as water or other non-alcoholic drinks. Avoid using it for carbonated beverages, as the pressure can affect the seal and potentially damage the decanter. For care, this decanter is conveniently dishwasher-safe. For best results and to prevent water spots, use a rinse aid and ensure proper drying. If washing by hand, use warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning materials that could scratch the glass or damage the silicone seal. Always handle with care to prevent chipping or breakage.
