Operating Instructions
- Filling: Fill the tumbler with your desired hot or cold beverage. Do not overfill; leave space for the lid.
- Pre-heating/Pre-cooling (Optional): For optimal temperature retention, pre-heat with hot water or pre-cool with cold water for 5-10 minutes before adding your beverage.
- Sealing the Lid: Place the lid onto the tumbler and twist clockwise until securely tightened. Ensure the DRINKLOCK sealing mechanism is in the "closed" position to prevent leaks.
- Using the Tea Hook: If using tea bags or loose leaf infusers, utilize the built-in tea hook on the underside of the lid to secure them.
- Drinking: To drink, rotate the DRINKLOCK lever to the "open" position. After drinking, rotate it back to "closed" to maintain temperature and prevent spills.

Maintenance and Cleaning
- Dishwasher Safe: The THERMOS Stainless King Tumbler and its lid are top-rack dishwasher safe.
- Hand Washing: For best results and to prolong the life of your tumbler, hand washing with warm, soapy water is recommended.
- Lid Disassembly: The lid is designed to disassemble easily for thorough cleaning. Twist the plastic nut inside the mug a quarter turn to separate the open/close parts and the seal. Clean all components individually.
- Drying: Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling and storing to prevent odor or mildew.
- Avoid Harsh Cleaners: Do not use abrasive cleaners, bleach, or chlorine-based products, as these can damage the finish and insulation properties.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid leaks from lid | Lid not securely tightened or DRINKLOCK lever not in "closed" position. Gasket or seal improperly seated or damaged. | Ensure lid is twisted tightly onto the tumbler. Verify DRINKLOCK lever is fully in the "closed" position. Disassemble the lid, check that all gaskets and seals are correctly in place and free from debris, then reassemble. If damage is present, consider replacing the lid. |
| Beverage does not stay hot/cold | Lid not sealed properly. Tumbler not pre-heated/pre-cooled. Extreme ambient temperatures. | Confirm the lid is tightly sealed and the DRINKLOCK lever is closed. Pre-heat with hot water or pre-cool with cold water for 5-10 minutes before filling. Avoid leaving the tumbler in extreme hot or cold environments for extended periods. |
| Difficulty opening/closing lid | Lid overtightened. Debris in threads. | Avoid overtightening the lid; a snug fit is sufficient for a leak-proof seal. Clean threads on both the tumbler and lid to remove any residue. |
