Sealing the Pitcher

After filling, securely screw the lid back onto the pitcher body by turning it clockwise until tight. The dual gasket system in the lid and handle ensures an airtight and leak-proof seal, allowing the pitcher to be stored horizontally without spills.

Pouring Beverages

To pour, rotate the top lid counter-clockwise approximately 90 degrees to align the spout opening. The integrated locking tab prevents the lid from falling off during pouring. For a wider pour or to add ingredients directly, the entire lid assembly can be removed.

Maintenance

Cleaning

All components of the Takeya Airtight Pitcher are dishwasher safe. For best results and to prevent scratching the Tritan plastic, hand washing with a non-abrasive sponge and mild dish soap is recommended. The wide mouth allows for easy access to clean the interior thoroughly. Ensure all gaskets are clean and free of debris to maintain an effective seal.

Troubleshooting

• Leaking: Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and the silicone gaskets in both the lid and handle are properly seated and free from food particles or damage.
• Odor/Stain Retention: The Tritan material is highly resistant to odors and stains. If an odor or stain persists after cleaning, ensure thorough washing and consider a mild vinegar solution for stubborn issues.
