Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Food not staying hot/cold | Improper pre-heating/chilling; lid not sealed tightly; extreme external temperatures. | Ensure proper pre-heating/chilling as described in the "Setup" section. Verify that the inner and outer lids are screwed on tightly. Avoid leaving the jar in direct sunlight or extreme cold for extended periods. |
| Leaking | Lid not sealed properly; damaged seal. | Check that both inner and outer lids are securely tightened. Inspect the silicone seals for any damage or misalignment. Replace seals if necessary. |
| Difficulty opening lid | Vacuum pressure buildup; lid overtightened. | If there's a small pressure release button/valve, press it. Try running the lid under warm water for a few seconds to expand it slightly. |
