4. Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all packaging materials and inspect the mug for any damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all components (mug body, lid, silicone band) with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry. Refer to the 'Maintenance and Cleaning' section for detailed instructions.
3. Assembly: Ensure the silicone band is correctly positioned around the mug body. Securely twist the lid onto the mug body until it is tight.

5. Operating Instructions

To use your Bodum Travel Mug:

1. Fill the Mug: Unscrew the lid and fill the mug with your desired hot or cold beverage. Do not overfill; leave sufficient space for the lid.
2. Secure the Lid: Screw the lid back onto the mug body firmly to ensure a tight seal.
3. Open for Drinking: To drink, simply flip open the stopper on the lid.
4. Close After Drinking: After drinking, close the stopper to maintain temperature and prevent spills.

Important Note: This travel mug is not 100% leak-proof due to possible overpressure. It must not be transported while lying down to prevent leaks from the closure.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your travel mug.

• Dishwasher Safe (Mug Body): The stainless steel mug body is dishwasher safe.
• Hand Wash Only (Lid and Silicone Band): The lid and silicone band should be hand washed with warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh abrasives.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing to prevent odors or mildew.

7. Troubleshooting

• Leaking: If the mug leaks, ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and the flip-top stopper is fully closed. Remember, the mug is not 100% waterproof and should be kept upright.
• Poor Temperature Retention: Ensure the lid is securely closed. Pre-heating the mug with hot water (for hot drinks) or pre-chilling (for cold drinks) for a few minutes before filling can enhance temperature retention.
