Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the flask and all components from the packaging. Inspect for any damage.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the flask, lid, and any included cup thoroughly with warm water and mild dish soap. Rinse completely and allow to air dry.
- Pre-heating/Pre-cooling (Optional): For optimal temperature retention, pre-heat the flask with hot water for 5-10 minutes before adding hot beverages, or pre-cool with cold water for 5-10 minutes before adding cold beverages. Empty the pre-heating/pre-cooling water before filling.
Operating Instructions
- Filling: Unscrew the outer lid and then the inner flip-style lid. Pour your desired beverage into the flask. Do not overfill; leave approximately 1 inch (2.5 cm) of space from the top to allow for the lid and prevent spills.
- Sealing: Securely screw the inner flip-style lid back onto the flask. Ensure it is tightened to prevent leaks. Then, screw the outer lid (which can also serve as a cup) firmly into place.
- Pouring: To pour, unscrew the outer lid. The inner flip-style lid features a mechanism for controlled pouring. Depending on the specific design, you may press a button or flip a spout to open the pouring channel.
- Carrying: Always ensure both lids are securely fastened before transporting the flask to prevent accidental spills.
Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: Hand wash only. Wash the flask and lids with warm water and mild dish soap after each use. Use a bottle brush for thorough cleaning of the interior. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Drying: Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent odor and mildew. Store with the lid off to allow air circulation.
- Do Not:
- Do not use abrasive cleaners, scrubbers, or bleach, as these can damage the finish and insulation.
- Do not place in a microwave oven, conventional oven, or freezer.
- Do not immerse the entire flask in water for extended periods, as this may compromise the vacuum insulation.
- Do not use for carbonated beverages, as pressure buildup can cause the lid to eject forcefully.
Troubleshooting
- Liquid not staying hot/cold:
- Ensure the lid is securely tightened.
- Verify that the pre-heating/pre-cooling steps were followed for optimal performance.
- Check for any visible damage to the flask body or lid seals that might compromise the vacuum insulation.
- Leakage from the lid:
- Confirm both the inner and outer lids are properly aligned and tightly screwed on.
- Inspect the silicone gaskets or O-rings on the lid for proper placement, damage, or wear. Replace if necessary.
- Difficulty opening/closing the lid:
- Ensure no food particles or residue are obstructing the threads. Clean thoroughly.
- Avoid overtightening, which can make it difficult to open.
