Operating Instructions (Microwave Use)

5. Check Temperature: Carefully remove the mug from the microwave using the handle. Use caution as contents will be hot. Stir the contents and check for even heating. If necessary, continue heating in short intervals.
6. Serve: Once heated to your satisfaction, close the steam vent before serving if desired, or leave open to cool slightly.

Troubleshooting

• Leakage during Transport: While the lid provides a secure seal, the steam vent is designed to release pressure. For liquid-heavy contents, ensure the mug is kept upright during transport to prevent minor leakage through the vent.
• Uneven Heating: Stir contents halfway through heating and allow a standing time after microwaving to ensure even temperature distribution.
• Plastic Warping/Damage: Ensure the steam vent is always open during microwaving. Avoid overheating, especially with foods high in oil or sugar.
