FAQs

What material is the lid made of?

The lid is made of 18/10 stainless steel with a mirror-polished finish.

Is the entire jar dishwasher safe?

The glass jar is dishwasher safe, but handwashing the entire product, including the lid, is recommended to preserve the design and finish.

What does 'hermetic seal' mean?

A hermetic seal means the lid creates an airtight closure, preventing air and moisture from entering or escaping the jar, thus preserving the contents.

How should I clean the stainless steel lid?

The stainless steel lid should be handwashed with a soft cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.

What are the dimensions of the jar?

The dimensions are approximately 24.5cm (height) x 12.5cm (width) x 12.5cm (depth).

Can I store liquids in this jar?

While the hermetic seal is effective, this jar is primarily designed for dry goods storage. Storing liquids is not recommended.

Is this the only size available in the Girotondo range?

Alessi offers other sizes within the Girotondo kitchen storage range, typically varying in height and capacity.

Troubleshooting

Lid not sealing properly

Ensure the rim of the jar and the seal on the lid are clean and free from debris. Check the seal for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the lid is pressed down evenly on all sides.

Condensation inside the jar

This indicates that the seal is not fully airtight, or moisture was introduced with the contents. Empty the jar, ensure contents are completely dry, and clean both jar and lid before refilling. Verify the lid's seal integrity.

Design fading or scratching

Avoid using abrasive cleaning materials or harsh detergents. Handwash the glass with a soft sponge and mild soap. Do not place the lid in a dishwasher or expose it to abrasive cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This jar requires no assembly. Simply wash before first use and fill with your desired dry goods.

Compatibility: Designed for dry goods storage. Not suitable for liquids or items that may react with glass or stainless steel.

Care Instructions:

  • Jar: The glass jar is dishwasher safe. However, for longevity of the design, handwashing is recommended.
