Care and Maintenance

• Lid Cleaning: The lid is top-rack dishwasher safe. Ensure all components are separated for thorough cleaning if possible.
• Body Cleaning: The stainless steel body should be hand-washed only. Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly.
• Drying: Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent odor and mildew.
• Do Not Use: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scrubbers, or bleach on any part of the bottle.
• Microwave/Freezer: Do not place the bottle in the microwave or freezer.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Liquid is not staying cold for the advertised duration.

Possible Cause: The bottle was not pre-chilled, or the lid was not securely closed.

Solution: Ensure the lid is tightly screwed on. For optimal cold retention, pre-chill the bottle with ice water for a few minutes before filling with your beverage. Avoid frequently opening the lid, as this can reduce insulation effectiveness.

Issue: Bottle is leaking.

Possible Cause: The AutoSeal button is not fully released, the lid is not securely attached, or the spout cover is not fully closed.

Solution: Ensure the AutoSeal button is fully released after drinking. Confirm the lid is tightly screwed onto the bottle body. Check that the protective spout cover is completely flipped down. Inspect the lid's silicone gasket for any damage or misalignment.

Issue: Difficulty pressing the AutoSeal button.

Possible Cause: Debris or residue may be obstructing the button mechanism.

Solution: Thoroughly clean the lid, paying close attention to the area around the AutoSeal button and spout. Ensure no dried beverage or other particles are interfering with its operation.
