The lid is top-rack dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a brush to reach all areas.
4.2 Cleaning the Body
The stainless steel body should be hand washed with warm, soapy water. Do not place the stainless steel body in the dishwasher as it may affect the vacuum insulation.
4.3 Drying and Storage
Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and storing to prevent odor or mildew. Store with the lid slightly ajar to allow air circulation.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Leaks or Spills
- Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and correctly aligned.
- Verify the AUTOSEAL button is fully released and the lock switch is engaged if desired.
- Check the lid gasket for any damage or misalignment.
5.2 Poor Temperature Retention
- Ensure the lid is securely fastened.
- Avoid opening the mug unnecessarily, as this releases heat/cold.
- Pre-heat or pre-chill the mug with hot or cold water for 5-10 minutes before adding your beverage for optimal performance.
5.3 Difficulty Cleaning
- Ensure the lid mechanism is fully pivoted open for access to all internal components.
- Use a small brush for hard-to-reach areas.
- For stubborn stains or odors, a mixture of baking soda and water can be used.
