KINTO 20942 Travel Tumbler Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The KINTO 20942 Travel Tumbler is designed for individuals seeking a reliable and aesthetically pleasing solution for beverage transport. Featuring double-wall vacuum insulation, this tumbler maintains the temperature of your drinks, hot or cold, for extended periods. Its thoughtful design prioritizes ease of use, portability, and simple maintenance, making it suitable for daily commutes, travel, or outdoor activities.

2. Components

The KINTO Travel Tumbler consists of three primary components:

1. Tumbler Body: The main insulated vessel, constructed from 18-9 stainless steel with a powder-coated finish.
2. Inner Stopper: A two-part component that screws into the tumbler body, designed to regulate liquid flow and prevent splashes. It includes a silicone gasket for a secure seal.
3. Outer Lid: The top cap that screws onto the inner stopper, providing a complete seal for transport.

3. Setup and First Use

3.1 Initial Cleaning

Before first use, disassemble all components and wash them thoroughly with warm water and a mild detergent. Rinse completely and allow to air dry. Ensure all silicone gaskets are properly seated after cleaning to maintain the leak-proof seal.

3.2 Assembly

1. Ensure the inner stopper's silicone gasket is correctly positioned.
2. Screw the inner stopper firmly into the tumbler body until secure.
3. Place the outer lid onto the inner stopper and twist clockwise until it is tightly sealed. The lid features a double-helix thread design, requiring only a half to full twist for a secure closure.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Filling the Tumbler

Unscrew the outer lid and the inner stopper. Pour your desired beverage into the tumbler body. Do not overfill; leave approximately 1 cm (0.4 inches) of space from the rim to allow for the inner stopper and lid. For optimal temperature retention, pre-heat the tumbler with hot water for hot beverages or pre-chill with cold water for cold beverages before filling.

4.2 Drinking from the Tumbler

To drink, simply unscrew the outer lid. The inner stopper is designed to regulate the flow of liquid, preventing splashes and allowing for comfortable sipping. It also acts as a barrier for ice or tea leaves, ensuring a smooth drinking experience.

4.3 Temperature Retention

The double-wall vacuum insulation provides excellent temperature retention:

• Hot Retention: Over 149°F (69°C) for 6 hours.
• Cold Retention: Less than 15.4°F (7°C) for 6 hours.

5. Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning is essential to maintain the hygiene and longevity of your KINTO Travel Tumbler.

5.1 Daily Cleaning

1. Disassemble all three components: tumbler body, inner stopper, and outer lid.
2. Wash each component by hand using warm water and a mild dish soap.
3. Pay special attention to the inner stopper and its silicone gasket, ensuring no residue remains. The design of the inner stopper minimizes crevices where residue can accumulate, making it easier to clean compared to traditional threaded lids.
4. Rinse all parts thoroughly to remove any soap residue.
5. Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent odors and mold growth.

Important: This product is not dishwasher safe. Hand wash only.

6. Troubleshooting

• Leakage: If the tumbler leaks, ensure all components (inner stopper, outer lid) are screwed on tightly and that the silicone gaskets are correctly seated and free from damage or debris.
• Poor Temperature Retention: Verify that the inner stopper and outer lid are securely closed. Pre-heating or pre-chilling the tumbler before filling can significantly improve retention.
• Unpleasant Odor/Taste: This usually indicates insufficient cleaning. Disassemble all parts and clean thoroughly, paying close attention to the silicone gaskets. A mixture of baking soda and water can help neutralize odors.
