Safety Precautions

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using this product. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or product damage.

• Do not use in microwave ovens, on stovetops, or in dishwashers.
• Do not fill with dry ice or carbonated beverages, as pressure buildup may cause the stopper to eject or contents to spray.

• Keep out of reach of infants and young children.
• Ensure the stopper is securely closed before carrying to prevent leaks.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the mug to strong impacts, which may reduce its insulation performance.

Operating Instructions

Filling the Mug

• To close: Push the lid down firmly until it clicks into place.
• To lock: Slide the lock button to the lock position to prevent accidental opening.

Regular cleaning is essential to maintain hygiene and prolong the life of your mug. The fluorine-coated interior resists stains and odors, making cleaning easier.

Disassembly for Cleaning

Washing Instructions

• Hand Wash Only: Wash all parts with warm water and mild dish soap using a soft sponge or brush.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, scrub brushes, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or coating.
• Rinse thoroughly with clean water after washing.
• Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembly to prevent odors or mold.
• Do not soak the entire mug body in water for extended periods.

Reassembly

1. Ensure all parts are dry.
2. Reattach the drinking spout to the lid if it was removed.
3. Insert the 'Seamless Sen' stopper back into the lid, ensuring it is securely seated.
4. Attach the lid assembly to the mug body by screwing it on until snug.

Temperature Retention

The Zojirushi SM-WA60-GD mug features high-performance vacuum insulation to keep your beverages at their desired temperature for hours.

Image: A diagram illustrating the mug's temperature retention capabilities: 95°C hot water remains above 73°C after 6 hours, and 4°C cold water remains below 8°C after 6 hours. These values are based on tests at room temperature (20°C ± 2°C).

For optimal performance, ensure the lid is securely closed and locked when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Zojirushi mug, please refer to these common solutions:

• Leakage: Ensure the 'Seamless Sen' stopper is correctly installed and the lid is securely closed and locked. Check for any damage to the stopper or lid.
• Poor Temperature Retention: Verify that the lid is tightly closed. Pre-heating or pre-cooling the mug before use can improve performance. Avoid leaving the mug open for extended periods.
• Odor/Stains: Thoroughly clean all parts, especially the stopper, with warm water and mild dish soap. The fluorine coating helps prevent this, but persistent odors may require a baking soda solution soak (rinse thoroughly afterward).
• Difficulty Opening/Closing Lid: Check for any obstructions or damage to the lid mechanism. Ensure the lock button is in the unlock position before pressing the release button.

If problems persist, please contact Zojirushi customer support.
