Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to open or remove

Ensure the lid is pulled straight up using the handle. Sometimes, the airtight seal can create a strong vacuum. Twist gently while pulling up. Avoid forceful prying.

Contents do not seem to stay fresh

Check that the lid is fully and securely seated on the canister. Ensure the silicone seal around the lid is clean and free from any food debris that might prevent an airtight closure. Inspect the seal for any damage or tears.

Canister slides on the worktop or feels unstable

Verify that the non-slip base is clean and intact. Ensure the worktop surface itself is clean, dry, and free of any spills or residue that could reduce friction. Reposition the canister if necessary.

Scratches appear on the worktop underneath the canister

Examine the non-slip bases for any damage or wear. Ensure the bases are clean and free of abrasive particles. Always lift the canisters rather than sliding them across delicate surfaces.

Care

To maintain the quality and appearance of your Swan Retro Canisters, follow these simple care instructions:

  • Cleaning: Wipe the canisters with a damp cloth to clean. Avoid abrasive cleaners, scourers, or harsh chemicals that could damage the colour-coated finish. Do not immerse the canisters in water or wash them in a dishwasher, as this can compromise the iron body and airtight seal. Ensure they are thoroughly dried after cleaning.
  • Lids: Periodically check the silicone seal around the lid for any debris that might prevent an airtight closure. Clean as needed.
  • Placement: Avoid placing the canisters near extreme heat sources or in direct sunlight for prolonged periods, as this may affect the finish.
