Key Features:

- Ergonomic handle for comfortable grip and pouring.
- Secure lid to prevent spills and maintain temperature.
- Durable plastic construction.
Setup
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the jug and lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and allow to air dry completely.
- Preheating/Precooling (Recommended): For optimal temperature retention, preheat the jug with hot water for 5-10 minutes before adding hot beverages, or precool with cold water/ice for 5-10 minutes before adding cold beverages. Empty the preheating/precooling water before filling with your desired drink.
- Filling: Fill the jug as full as possible, leaving minimal air space, as this helps maintain temperature longer.
- Securing the Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the jug and twist or press down until it is securely sealed. Ensure the lid is properly aligned to prevent leaks and maximize insulation.
Operating Instructions
- Pouring: To pour, slightly loosen the lid or open the pouring mechanism (if applicable to your lid design) to release pressure. Tilt the jug to pour the beverage. After pouring, re-secure the lid to maintain temperature.
- Temperature Retention: The ThermoTup jug is designed to keep beverages hot or cold for an extended duration. The actual retention time may vary based on the initial temperature of the liquid, the ambient temperature, and how often the jug is opened.
- Transport: When transporting, ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent spills.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Proper cleaning and maintenance will extend the life of your Tupperware ThermoTup jug.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, wash the jug and lid with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft brush or sponge to clean the interior.
- Rinsing: Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
- Drying: Allow the jug and lid to air dry completely before reassembling or storing. Storing with the lid slightly ajar can help prevent odors.
- Deep Cleaning: For stubborn stains or odors, a mixture of baking soda and warm water can be used. Let it sit for a few hours or overnight, then scrub and rinse thoroughly.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scourers, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the plastic and insulation properties.
- Dishwasher Safety: Refer to the product's specific care instructions for dishwasher compatibility. If not explicitly stated as dishwasher safe, hand washing is recommended.
