For a flawless setup, ensure the Bunn⁢ Funnel is securely attached to the coffee maker, with decals facing outward⁤ for easy identification. When installing, avoid overtightening to prevent damage to ⁣the plastic components. Use a soft cloth to clean the surface of the funnel before securing‌ it in place,as dust or residues can reduce adhesive strength over time. Regularly inspect the funnel for cracks or discoloration, especially around the ⁢ seams and ⁤decal areas, as these are common stress points that⁤ could‍ compromise performance.

Long-term care involves gentle yet consistent maintenance. Avoid harsh​ chemicals and abrasive tools when cleaning; instead,⁤ opt for mild soap and warm water, rinsing thoroughly to ⁢preserve both ‌the plastic and decal integrity. To keep ‍the decals ‍vibrant, limit exposure to direct sunlight⁣ and heat sources. For optimal longevity, consider applying a thin ⁤layer of food-grade silicone spray once every few months-this helps‍ maintain flexibility and prevents drying or cracking.
