How do I bolt the Signature post to the oval base?

All Flairs, aside from the Flair 58, were designed to be used with or without the bolt: The act of brewing will stabilize the assembly for safe use. You should bolt the main piece to the base only if you do not expect to travel with the Flair often.

If you leave the Flair permanently assembled and you want to bolt the base to the main piece, first you need to make sure the bottom tab of the main piece is all the way in the base. You can tap the top of the main piece with something soft (rubber, plastic, wood) to ensure it sticks to the base. 

If you are unable to fully insert your post into the oval base following the above procedure, remove and reinsert the black plastic adaptor piece on the underside of the oval base. It may not be fully seated. If trouble persists, contact us
