Setup and Assembly
Before initial use, ensure all components are clean. Proper assembly of the spout and valve is crucial for the no-spill function.
- Disassemble: Separate the cup, lid, and silicone spout/valve assembly.
- Align Valve: Carefully line up the small silicone valve with the corresponding pinhole on the cup ring. Ensure the silicone sits flush on the inside, with the valve and pinhole perfectly aligned. This alignment is critical for preventing leaks.
- Attach Spout: Securely attach the soft silicone spout to the lid.
- Secure Lid: Twist the lid onto the cup base until you hear a distinct "click." This indicates the Clik-It mechanism has engaged, and the lid is securely locked in place.

Operating Instructions

- Filling: Fill the cup with your desired liquid (water, milk, or juice) up to the indicated fill line.
- Securing the Lid: After filling, twist the lid onto the cup until you hear the reassuring "click." This confirms the lid is locked and ready for use.

- Drinking: The pressure-sensitive TOUCH-FLO valve allows liquid to flow only when your child sips from the spout. This prevents continuous dripping and helps control fluid intake.

Maintenance and Care
Proper cleaning and maintenance will ensure the longevity and hygiene of your Nuby Clik-It Grip N' Sip cup.
- Initial Use: Clean all parts thoroughly before the first use.
- After Each Use: Disassemble all parts (cup, lid, spout, valve) prior to washing.
- Washing: The cup is top-rack dishwasher safe. Alternatively, hand wash in warm water using a mild liquid soap.
- Rinsing: Rinse all components thoroughly with clean water to remove any soap residue.
- Drying: Dry all parts thoroughly before reassembling or storing.
- Sterilization: The cup can be boiled or steam sterilized for deeper cleaning.
Troubleshooting
While the Nuby Clik-It Grip N' Sip cup is designed to be no-spill, occasional issues may arise. Here are some common concerns and their solutions:
- Leaking: If the cup leaks, the most common cause is improper assembly of the silicone valve and spout. Refer to the "Setup and Assembly" section and the accompanying image to ensure the valve is perfectly aligned with the pinhole on the cup ring and sits flush. Also, ensure the lid is twisted until you hear the "click" to confirm it's securely sealed.
- Difficulty Drinking: If your child struggles to get liquid from the spout, check that the TOUCH-FLO valve is not obstructed and is correctly seated. The valve requires pressure from the mouth to open, which may take some adjustment for children transitioning from other cup types.
- Damaged Components: Regularly inspect the silicone spout and valve for any tears, cracks, or signs of wear. Damaged components can compromise the no-spill function. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
