Cleaning:

Stainless steel is naturally corrosion resistant and obviously much tougher than glass. Short of intentional abuse, your AMW pipe will outlive you. Occasional cleaning can be accomplished with household rubbing alcohol. Fill both chambers with alcohol just as you would with water, reassemble the pipe, then shake it to get alcohol into the smaller tubes. Allow it to sit, then rinse with hot water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive/gritty cleaners or brushes. The bowl can be soaked in alcohol as well and cleaned with a pipe cleaner. In the unlikely event that you damage your pipe or need any replacement parts such as clamps or O-rings, contact AMW.

Instructions for use:

Bottom water chamber

Remove the fill plug for the bottom chamber, and fill it to just below the level of the plug. The plug does not have to be overtightened-finger snug is fine.

Top water chamber

Fill the top water chamber to approximately 1 inch below the top percolator filter. The rest of the chamber can be filled with ice.

V-band closure

Make sure the O-ring seal is in place. The pipe works perfectly well no matter the orientation of the top, but there is an index mark cut into both V-band flanges. Lining these up puts the bowl directly opposite the mouthpiece. Reinstall the clamp and finger tighten.
