Setup

Initial Cleaning

Before first use, and after each subsequent use, it is recommended to thoroughly clean all parts of your Contigo travel mug. Refer to the "Maintenance and Cleaning" section for detailed instructions.

Operating Instructions

Filling the Mug

1. Unscrew the SnapSeal lid from the mug body.
2. Pour your desired hot or cold beverage into the mug. Do not overfill; leave sufficient space at the top to prevent spills when the lid is attached.

Sealing the Lid

1. Carefully align the lid with the mug body and screw it on clockwise until it is securely tightened.
2. Ensure the SnapSeal lever on the lid is in the closed (down) position to prevent leaks.

Drinking from the Mug

1. To drink, push the SnapSeal lever on the lid to the open (up) position.
2. After drinking, push the SnapSeal lever back to the closed (down) position to re-seal the mug and prevent spills.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Lid Cleaning

The SnapSeal lid is top-rack dishwasher safe. For thorough cleaning, ensure the SnapSeal lever is in the open position before placing it in the dishwasher. This allows water to reach all internal components.

Body Cleaning

The stainless steel body of the mug should be hand washed. Use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or brush. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before storage. Do not place the mug body in the dishwasher as this may damage the insulation and exterior finish.

Troubleshooting

Leakage

• Check Lid Seal: Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and correctly aligned with the mug body.
• Verify SnapSeal Position: Make sure the SnapSeal lever is fully in the closed (down) position when not drinking.
• Inspect Gasket: Check the silicone gasket on the lid for any damage, tears, or improper seating. A damaged gasket can compromise the seal.

Temperature Retention Issues

• Ensure Proper Seal: A loose lid or open SnapSeal lever will significantly reduce temperature retention.
• Pre-heat/Pre-cool: For best results, pre-heat the mug with hot water for hot beverages or pre-cool with cold water/ice for cold beverages for a few minutes before filling with your drink.
