4. Operating Instructions
The Nuby No Spill 3D Character Sippy Cup is designed for easy and safe use by children.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Cup is leaking | Silicone spout not properly seated; valve obstructed; lid removed by child. | Ensure the silicone spout is pressed firmly and evenly onto the cup. Check the TOUCH-FLO valve for any debris and clean if necessary. For younger children who may easily remove the lid, supervision is recommended. |
| Liquid not flowing easily | Valve may be obstructed or not fully open. | Inspect the TOUCH-FLO valve for any blockages. Ensure the child is applying sufficient suction to activate the pressure-sensitive valve. |
| Difficulty cleaning | Parts not fully disassembled. | Always disassemble the cup and spout completely before washing. Use a small brush for hard-to-reach areas if hand washing. |
