- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the interior of the airpot and the lid assembly with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly. Refer to the "Cleaning and Maintenance" section for detailed instructions.
- Pre-heating/Pre-cooling: For best temperature retention, pre-heat the airpot with hot water for 5-10 minutes before filling with hot beverages, or pre-cool with cold water/ice for cold beverages. Empty the pre-heating/pre-cooling water before filling.
Operating Instructions

- Remove the lid assembly.
- Wash the interior of the airpot with warm, soapy water and a soft brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.

- Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing.
- Deep Cleaning (as needed): For stubborn stains or odors, a mixture of warm water and a small amount of baking soda or white vinegar can be used. Let it soak for a short period, then scrub and rinse thoroughly.
- Glass Liner Care: The glass liner is delicate. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, metal brushes, or harsh chemicals that could scratch or damage the glass.
