Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the server from its packaging. Retain packaging for future storage or transport if needed.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the server body and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry.
- Pre-heating/Pre-cooling (Optional): For optimal temperature retention, pre-heat the server with hot water or pre-cool with cold water for 5-10 minutes before filling with your desired beverage. Empty the pre-heating/pre-cooling water before adding your beverage.
Operating Instructions
- Filling: Remove the lid. Pour your hot or cold beverage into the server. Do not fill past the bottom of the lid's threading to prevent overflow.
- Securing the Lid: Place the lid back onto the server and twist clockwise until it is firmly sealed. Ensure the pouring spout is aligned as desired.
- Pouring: To pour, tilt the server and allow the beverage to flow from the spout. The ergonomic handle provides a secure grip for controlled pouring.
- Maintaining Temperature: For best results, keep the lid securely closed when not pouring. The dual-layer vacuum insulation will maintain the beverage's temperature for several hours.
Maintenance and Cleaning
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, wash the server body and lid with warm, soapy water. Use a soft brush for the interior if necessary. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent odors or mildew.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains or odors, a mixture of baking soda and warm water can be used. Let it sit for a few hours, then rinse thoroughly.
- Do Not Dishwash: This server is not recommended for dishwasher use, as high temperatures and harsh detergents can damage the vacuum seal and exterior finish. Hand washing is advised.
- Storage: Store the server with the lid slightly ajar to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
