2. Setup
2.1 Initial Cleaning
Before first use, wash all parts of the water bottle with warm, soapy water or place them on the top rack of your dishwasher. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
2.2 Assembly
- Insert the angled straw into the opening on the underside of the lid. Ensure it is securely seated.
- Fill the bottle with your desired beverage.
- Screw the lid onto the bottle until it is tightly sealed to prevent leaks.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Using the AUTOSPOUT Lid
- To Drink: Press the AUTOSPOUT button located on the front of the lid. The silicone spout will pop up, allowing you to drink directly from the straw.
- To Close: Push the spout back down until it clicks securely into place. This action seals the lid, making it leak-proof.
The AUTOSPOUT lid allows for easy, one-handed drinking with a simple press of a button, revealing the silicone spout.
3.2 Spout Cover and Button Lock
- Spout Cover: The integrated spout cover protects the drinking spout from dirt and germs when not in use.
- Button Lock: Slide the small button lock located next to the AUTOSPOUT button to the 'locked' position to prevent accidental pressing of the AUTOSPOUT button, ensuring the spout remains closed and leak-proof during transport. Slide it back to 'unlocked' to enable drinking.
A button lock on the lid prevents accidental opening of the spout, ensuring a leak-proof experience when not in use.
3.3 Integrated Handle
The lid features an integrated handle for comfortable carrying. Simply lift the handle to transport your bottle with ease.
4. Maintenance and Care
4.1 Cleaning Instructions
- All parts of the Contigo Ashland 2.0 Water Bottle are top-rack dishwasher safe.
- For hand washing, disassemble the lid by removing the straw. Wash the bottle, lid, and straw with warm, soapy water. Use a bottle brush for thorough cleaning of the interior and a straw brush for the straw.
- Ensure all components are completely dry before reassembling to prevent odor or mildew.
5. Troubleshooting
- Leakage: Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and the spout is fully closed and locked (if applicable). Check the silicone gasket inside the lid for proper seating and any damage.
- Difficulty with Spout: If the AUTOSPOUT spout is stiff or difficult to open/close, ensure it is clean and free of debris. A small amount of food-grade lubricant can be applied if necessary, but thorough cleaning is usually sufficient.
- Reduced Suction: Check that the straw is fully inserted into the lid and that there are no cracks or blockages in the straw or spout.
