Overview

2. Important Technical Specifications
3. Usage Features
4. Maintenance Features

The Primula Half Moon Teapot is a specialized glass teapot designed for brewing and serving tea. It consists of a glass bowl permanently integrated into a plastic holder, along with an infuser. This design emphasizes safety and ease of use, with specific instructions for handling, cleaning, and storage to ensure the longevity and proper function of the device.

Function Description:

The primary function of the Primula Half Moon Teapot is to steep and serve tea. It is designed to hold hot water and tea leaves within its infuser, allowing for the brewing process. The integrated glass bowl and plastic holder provide a stable and aesthetically pleasing vessel for serving. The infuser is removable for cleaning and allows for the containment of tea leaves during steeping.

Important Technical Specifications:

The manual does not provide explicit technical specifications such as volume capacity, dimensions, or material grades beyond "glass" and "plastic." However, it strongly emphasizes the permanent integration of the glass bowl and plastic holder, stating: "THE GLASS BOWL AND PLASTIC HOLDER ARE NEVER INTENDED TO SEPARATE." This design choice is a critical technical aspect, impacting both usage and maintenance. The teapot is described as "dishwasher safe" for the teapot and infuser, though hand washing is recommended. It is not designed for use on stovetops, in microwaves, or with any other direct heat source, nor is it suitable for boiling liquids. It should not be used in a refrigerator or freezer.

Usage Features:

The Primula Half Moon Teapot has several key usage features and restrictions:

• Pre-use Inspection: Before first use, users must inspect the glass for chips or cracks.
• Assembly: The glass bowl and plastic holder are permanently joined and should never be separated. Users are explicitly warned against attempting to press, twist, or remove the glass from the plastic holder, or pressing on the bottom of the glass.
• Water Temperature: Caution is required when handling hot water. The teapot is not designed for boiling liquids, and users are advised not to use it to heat or boil liquids.
• Pouring: It is recommended to use a pot holder and hold the lid in place while pouring, especially when the contents are hot.
• Stability: Users must ensure the bowl is firmly in place before adding water.
• Storage: The teapot should be thoroughly dried before storing. If tea needs to be refrigerated, it should be transferred to another container as the teapot itself is not suitable for refrigerator storage.
• Heat Sources: The teapot must never be used on a stovetop, in a microwave, or with any other heat source. It should also not be heated in any way when empty.
• Utensils: Metal utensils should not be used inside the glass bowl to prevent damage.
• Safety: The product should not be used if chipped or cracked and should be kept out of reach of children.

Maintenance Features:

Maintenance of the Primula Half Moon Teapot focuses on cleaning and careful handling:

• Cooling: Before cleaning, the teapot and infuser should be allowed to cool completely.
• Washing: All components should be washed separately in warm, soapy water before first use. For regular cleaning, the infuser should be rinsed in warm water and washed by hand to remove loose tea. The teapot and infuser are dishwasher safe, but hand washing is recommended.
• Rinsing: After washing, all components should be rinsed with clean water.
• Drying: Components should be allowed to dry thoroughly after rinsing, especially before storage.
• Handling: Extreme care is advised when washing the glass bowl in the sink to prevent bumps or breakage. The glass is fragile and can break if mishandled or bumped against any surface.
• Separation Warning: A critical maintenance instruction, reiterated multiple times, is the absolute prohibition against attempting to separate the glass bowl from the plastic holder. This action is explicitly stated to cause glass breakage and serious injury.
