Scratches/small dents may appear at the bottom of the basket, due to the nature of how the basket sits in the press. This is not a manufacturer defect. The base of the torchietto can have some dark markings from the manufacturing process. These marks are a natural byproduct of the aluminum oxidation process. This is not considered a defect.

Turning the handle moves the reinforced pressing plate downwards. Do not apply excess pressure by forcing the pressing plate. Enough pressure is created by simply turning the handle.
