Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Ensure all parts, including the tumbler body and lid with plug, are present.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash the tumbler body and lid thoroughly with warm water and a mild dish soap. Rinse all parts completely and allow them to air dry.
3. Lid Assembly: Ensure the silicone gasket is properly seated within the lid to prevent leaks. The plug mechanism should move freely to open and close the drinking spout.

Operating Instructions

1. Filling the Tumbler:

   Unscrew the lid from the tumbler body. Pour your desired beverage into the tumbler, ensuring not to overfill. Leave adequate space to prevent spillage when the lid is attached.
2. Securing the Lid:

   Place the lid onto the tumbler body and screw it on clockwise until it is securely tightened. Do not overtighten. Ensure the lid is properly aligned and sealed to prevent leaks.

3. Drinking:

   To drink, simply push the plug mechanism to open the drinking spout. To close, push the plug back into its sealed position. This design allows for convenient one-handed operation.

4. Temperature Retention:

   The double-wall vacuum insulation helps maintain the temperature of your hot or cold beverages for extended periods. For best results, pre-heat or pre-chill the tumbler with hot or cold water for a few minutes before filling with your beverage.

Maintenance and Care

• Daily Cleaning: After each use, disassemble the lid and wash all parts (tumbler body, lid, and silicone gasket) with warm water and mild dish soap. Use a soft brush for thorough cleaning of the lid components.
• Dishwasher Use: The tumbler is machine washable. However, hand washing is recommended for prolonged product life and to maintain the finish. If using a dishwasher, place on the top rack.
• Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling and storing to prevent odors or mildew.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scrubbers, or bleach, as these can damage the finish and materials.
• Storage: Store the tumbler with the lid removed or slightly ajar to allow for air circulation.

Troubleshooting

Issue: Tumbler leaks when tilted or carried.

Solution:

• Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and correctly aligned with the tumbler body.
• Check that the silicone gasket inside the lid is properly seated and free from debris or damage.
• Verify that the drinking plug is fully closed and sealed.

Issue: Beverage does not stay hot/cold for the expected duration.

Solution:

• Ensure the lid is securely closed and the drinking plug is sealed.
• Pre-heat or pre-chill the tumbler with hot or cold water for 5-10 minutes before adding your beverage.
• Avoid frequently opening the lid or drinking plug, as this can reduce temperature retention.

Issue: Difficulty cleaning the lid or plug mechanism.

Solution:

• Disassemble the lid components (if possible, refer to manufacturer's instructions for specific lid disassembly).
• Use a small brush or cotton swab to clean hard-to-reach areas.
• Soak the lid in warm, soapy water for a period before scrubbing.
