Components

Your THERMOS FUNTAINER food jar consists of the following main components:

• Stainless Steel Food Jar Body: The primary insulated container.
• Lid: A secure, twist-on lid designed to seal the container and maintain temperature.

Setup and Initial Preparation

1. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all parts of the food jar and lid with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.
2. Pre-heating for Hot Food: To maximize heat retention, pre-heat the interior of the food jar. Fill the jar with hot tap water (not boiling) and let it stand for 5-10 minutes. Empty the water just before filling with hot food.
3. Pre-chilling for Cold Food: To maximize cold retention, pre-chill the interior of the food jar. Fill the jar with cold tap water or ice water and let it stand for 5-10 minutes. Empty the water just before filling with cold food.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to use your THERMOS FUNTAINER food jar:

1. Prepare Food: Ensure your food is at the desired temperature (hot or cold) before placing it in the jar. For best results with hot food, ensure it is heated thoroughly.
2. Fill the Jar: Place your prepared food into the pre-heated or pre-chilled stainless steel food jar. The wide mouth design makes it easy to fill.
3. Secure the Lid: Twist the lid firmly onto the food jar until it is securely sealed. This is crucial for maintaining the internal temperature and preventing leaks.
4. Temperature Retention: The food jar is designed to keep food hot for up to 5 hours and cold for up to 7 hours. The exterior remains cool to the touch even with hot contents.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your food jar, consider the following:
