Maintenance and Care

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your food jar, consider the following common solutions:

• Food Not Staying Hot/Cold:
  • Ensure you are properly pre-heating or pre-chilling the jar before adding food.
  • Verify the lid is securely tightened. A loose lid will compromise temperature retention.
  • Avoid opening the lid frequently, as this allows temperature to escape.
• Lid Difficult to Open/Close:
  • Check for any food debris or residue in the lid threads or on the gasket. Clean thoroughly.
  • Ensure the silicone gasket is properly seated in its groove.
• Leaking:
  • Confirm the lid is tightened completely and the push-button is in the closed position.
  • Inspect the silicone gasket for any tears, cracks, or misalignment. A damaged or improperly seated gasket is a common cause of leaks.
