3. Setup
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all components (main body, lid, and brush) thoroughly with mild dish soap and warm water. Rinse completely and allow to air dry.
- Assembly: Ensure the silicone brush is securely attached to its push-button mechanism. Insert the brush assembly into the main body of the jug.
- Filling: Unscrew the lid from the main body. Carefully pour your desired cooking oil into the jug. Do not overfill; leave some space at the top to prevent spillage when inserting the brush assembly.
- Secure Lid: Screw the lid back onto the main body, ensuring it is tightly sealed to prevent leaks.
4. Operating Instructions
The Skater TW12B Oil Jug offers two primary methods for oil dispensing:
- Using the Brush:
- To use the brush, gently press down on the top of the lid. This action will push the brush further into the oil, allowing it to absorb the liquid.
- Release the pressure, and the brush will retract, bringing the absorbed oil with it.
- Apply the oil directly to a heated pan or food surface using the silicone brush. The silicone material is safe for use on hot surfaces.
- The length of the brush can be adjusted by the amount of pressure applied, allowing you to reach oil even when the jug is not full.
- Pouring Oil:
- For pouring, tilt the jug and dispense oil through the small spout located on the side of the lid.
- Control the flow by adjusting the tilt angle and the amount of pressure on the push-button, if necessary, to facilitate flow.
5. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your oil jug:
- Cleaning: The Skater TW12B Oil Jug is designed for Hand Wash Only. Do not place it in a dishwasher.
- Disassembly for Cleaning: For thorough cleaning, disassemble the jug by unscrewing the lid and removing the brush assembly.
- Washing: Wash all parts with warm, soapy water. Pay special attention to the silicone brush bristles and the pouring spout to remove any oil residue.
- Rinsing: Rinse all components thoroughly under running water to remove all soap.
- Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling and refilling to prevent moisture from contaminating the oil.
- Storage: Store the jug in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
6. Troubleshooting
- Oil not dispensing properly:
- Check if the jug is sufficiently filled with oil.
- Ensure the brush mechanism is not obstructed by solidified oil or debris. Clean thoroughly if necessary.
- Verify that the lid is securely fastened.
- Leaking from the lid:
- Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and correctly aligned.
- Check the washer for proper seating and any damage.
- Avoid overfilling the jug.
- Brush not absorbing oil:
- Ensure the brush is fully submerged in oil when pressing the button.
- Clean the brush bristles thoroughly to remove any sticky residue that might impede absorption.
