5. Maintenance and Care

• Tumbler Body: Hand wash only. Use warm, soapy water and a soft brush or sponge. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as this may damage the finish.
• Lid: The lid is dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended). For thorough cleaning, the lid can be disassembled.
• Lid Disassembly for Cleaning: To disassemble, slide the leak-proof slider to the open position. Gently pull the slider mechanism upwards to detach it from the lid. The silicone gasket can also be removed for separate cleaning.
• Reassembly: After cleaning, ensure all parts are dry. Reinsert the silicone gasket firmly into its groove. Align the slider mechanism and press it down until it clicks securely into place.
• Drying: Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent odor and mildew.

6. Troubleshooting

• Leaking: Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and the slider spout is fully closed. Check that the silicone gasket is properly seated within the lid.
• Difficulty Opening/Closing Spout: Ensure no debris is obstructing the slider mechanism. Clean the lid thoroughly if necessary.
• Poor Temperature Retention: Verify that the lid is securely closed and sealed. Extreme external temperatures can affect retention.
• Unpleasant Odor: Disassemble the lid completely and clean all components, especially the silicone gasket, with warm, soapy water. Allow to air dry thoroughly.
