Check your infuser's care label before brewing. IKEA says this particular model is dishwasher-safe, but hot water and heated metal can still burn. The cover is a generic stainless-steel infuser, not an IDEALISK product photo.

1. Identify your model. IDEALISK 401.798.35 is a 15 cm stainless-steel tea infuser. Other models may have different care requirements.
2. Wash before first use, as IKEA instructs. Inspect the mesh and edges for residue and handle the metal carefully to avoid scratches.
3. Add a modest quantity of tea leaves. Leave room for them to expand in water and check that the closure is secure.
4. Slowly pour water and steep. Follow your tea package for temperature and time. Keep hands away from the hot cup and metal.
5. Carefully lift out the infuser. Hot water may drip: use an appropriate utensil if needed, let it cool, then empty the used leaves.
6. Clear leaves from the mesh and joints, wash and dry. IKEA marks this exact model dishwasher-safe; handwashing is also fine. Store only when dry.
