Cleaning & Care Instructions:

To ensure the longevity, hygienic condition, and continued optimal performance of your Berlinger Haus Coffee & Tea Plunger, please follow these detailed cleaning and care instructions:

Before First Use:

1. Unpack all components of the plunger carefully from its packaging.
2. Disassemble the plunger unit from the glass carafe. The metal frame and plunger press are typically separate.
3. Wash all parts (glass carafe, stainless steel plunger assembly, and stainless steel frame/lid) thoroughly with warm water and a mild dishwashing detergent.
4. Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water.
5. Dry completely with a soft, clean cloth before first use.

Daily Cleaning (After Each Use):

1. Always allow the plunger and its contents to cool down completely before cleaning. Attempting to handle or disassemble a hot plunger can be dangerous.
2. Remove coffee/tea grounds/leaves immediately: Discard the used grounds or leaves. Do not allow them to sit in the carafe for an extended period, as this can lead to staining of the glass and potential odor absorption.
3. Disassemble the plunger: Separate the glass carafe from the stainless steel frame (if removable) and carefully unscrew the plunger assembly to remove the mesh filter screen and spring.
4. Wash all parts:
• Glass Carafe: Wash with warm soapy water using a soft sponge or a bottle brush to reach all areas. For stubborn stains or coffee oil residue, a mixture of warm water and a little white vinegar or baking soda can be used as a natural cleaner, followed by a thorough rinse.
• Stainless Steel Components (Frame, Lid, Plunger Assembly, Filter): Wash with warm soapy water using a soft sponge or cloth. Pay particular attention to the mesh filter, ensuring all coffee grounds or tea leaves are completely removed. A soft brush can be very helpful for cleaning within the fine mesh.
5. Rinse all parts thoroughly under clean running water to ensure all soap residue is completely removed.
6. Dry completely: This is a critical step for all components, especially the stainless steel. Dry immediately and completely with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots, streaks, and potential mineral build-up, thus preserving its shine and preventing rust. Ideally, allow the components to air dry completely before reassembling, ensuring no moisture is trapped.

Important Considerations:

• Avoid Abrasive Cleaners: Never use steel wool, abrasive sponges, harsh chemical cleaners, or metal utensils on any part of the plunger. These can severely scratch or damage the glass carafe, the stainless steel components, and particularly the delicate matt bordeaux finish.
• Dishwasher Use (Use with Caution): While the stainless steel and borosilicate glass components are generally considered dishwasher safe, hand washing is highly recommended for this plunger. Prolonged exposure to high heat and aggressive detergents in a dishwasher can, over time, dull the matt bordeaux finish, cause water spots on stainless steel, and potentially affect the longevity of the silicone non-slip base or other seals. Hand washing is the gentlest method to maintain the plunger's pristine appearance and extend its overall lifespan.
• Handling Glass: Although borosilicate glass is designed for durability and thermal resistance, it is still glass. Handle the carafe with care to avoid chipping or breaking, especially around the rim and where it meets the frame.
• Storage: Store the plunger in a dry place. If storing assembled, ensure all components are completely dry to prevent any moisture being trapped. If storing disassembled, ensure all parts are dry.
• Plunging Action: When pressing the plunger down, do so slowly and evenly. Forcing it down too quickly can cause hot liquid to spray out or put excessive pressure on the glass carafe.

By diligently following these cleaning and care instructions, your Berlinger Haus Coffee & Tea Plunger will consistently deliver delicious, authentic beverages and remain a beautiful, high-performing, and cherished item in your kitchen for many years to come.
