ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Insert the stainless steel screen into the Porthole frame’s
interior notches.
2. Tighten the center post to a glass panel using a counter-
sunk hex screw and a hex key. Ensure the screw head is on
the countersunk side of the glass panel.
3. Place the glass side with center post attached flat on
a table, screw side down. Line up the edge of the glass
with the edge of the table.
4. Fit the Porthole frame over the glass side with a foot
protruding past the edge of the table. Make sure the glass
panel is aligned with the Porthole frame, nesting inside.
Incorrect alignment will cause leaks.
5. Place the non-liquid infusion ingredients inside the
Porthole, taking care not to disturb the frame, and prevent
infusion ingredients from getting caught between the
gasket and glass.
6. Before inserting the top glass panel, make sure the top
gasket is clear of any debris. Nest the second glass side
in the top of the Porthole frame, with the countersunk side
facing up.
7. Use a second countersunk hex screw or a thumb screw
to attach the top glass panel. Press down on the glass
side of the Porthole while tightening. Note: The glass
has a Teflon grommet to prevent over-tightening. Once
adequate friction is achieved, the grommet will start
to slip and spin.

8. Lift the Porthole, keeping it
parallel to the table surface
and squeezing the two glass
sides toward each other with
one hand while using a finger
to track the movement of the
bottom screw. Tighten the top
screw further until the bottom
screw starts to spin. The Port-
hole’s seal action is provided
by gasket compression, not
necessarily the tightness of the
screw. Do not over-tighten!
Inspect the gaskets on both
sides for good contact – a flat
spot in the silicone rubber
should be visible around the
entire perimeter.
9. Fill the Porthole with the liquid
infusion ingredients through
the pour spout. Insert the cap
if necessary.
10. Let infuse for the desired
period of time.
POUR. ENJOY!
