Please read this manual carefully before first use to ensure proper operation and maintenance.

Important Safety Information

• Do not use the jug for carbonated beverages, as pressure buildup can cause the lid to eject forcefully.
• Do not use the jug for dairy products or baby food for extended periods, as bacterial growth can occur.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as pouring very hot liquid into a very cold jug, as this may damage the glass insulation.
• Keep out of reach of children when filled with hot liquids.
• Do not place the jug in a microwave, oven, or freezer.
• Handle with care, especially when cleaning, as the internal glass liner is fragile.

3. Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the thermal jug from its packaging. Inspect for any damage.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the jug and lid thoroughly with warm water and a mild dish soap. Rinse well. Do not immerse the entire jug in water. Refer to the "Maintenance" section for detailed cleaning instructions.
3. Pre-heating/Pre-cooling (Optional): For optimal temperature retention, pre-heat the jug with hot water for 5-10 minutes before filling with hot beverages, or pre-cool with cold water for cold beverages. Discard the pre-heating/pre-cooling water before filling.

4. Operating Instructions

Filling the Jug

1. Unscrew the lid by turning it counter-clockwise.
2. Pour your desired beverage into the jug. Do not overfill; leave a small gap below the neck to allow for the lid.
3. Screw the lid back on clockwise until it is securely tightened. Ensure the quick-tip seal mechanism is properly aligned.

Using the Quick-Tip Seal

The quick-tip seal allows for convenient, controlled pouring with one hand.

1. Hold the jug by the handle.
2. Press the thumb lever located on the top of the lid to open the pouring mechanism.
3. Tilt the jug to pour your beverage.
4. Release the thumb lever to close the seal and prevent spills and heat loss.

Tips for Optimal Insulation

• Always pre-heat or pre-cool the jug before filling.
• Fill the jug as full as possible to minimize air space, which can reduce insulation efficiency.
• Ensure the lid is securely closed after each pour to maintain temperature.

5. Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

• Hand Wash Only: The EMSA Plaza Thermal Jug is not dishwasher safe due to its glass insulation.
• Interior: For best results, clean the interior with warm water and a mild dish soap after each use. Use a bottle brush for thorough cleaning. Rinse thoroughly.
• Exterior: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the finish.
• Lid: The lid can be disassembled for cleaning if necessary. Wash with warm soapy water and rinse thoroughly. Ensure all parts are dry before reassembling.
• Stubborn Stains/Odors: For stubborn stains or odors, a mixture of baking soda and warm water can be used. Let it sit for a few hours, then scrub and rinse thoroughly.
• Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling and storing to prevent mold or mildew.

Storage

Store the jug with the lid slightly ajar to allow air circulation and prevent odors from developing.
