Operating Instructions

Filling the Bottle:

• Open the lid by sliding the lock mechanism and pressing the button.
• Fill the bottle with your desired beverage. Do not overfill; leave a small space below the rim to prevent leaks when closing the lid.
• For hot liquids, fill carefully to avoid burns.

Closing and Locking:

• Ensure the spout and lid gaskets are properly in place.
• Close the lid firmly until it clicks.
• Slide the lock mechanism to the locked position to prevent accidental opening during transport.

Drinking:

• Slide the lock mechanism to the unlocked position.
• Press the button to open the lid.
• Drink directly from the spout.
• When drinking hot liquids, do not tilt the bottle suddenly. Allow the liquid to cool to a safe temperature before giving to children, and supervise use closely to prevent burns.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Proper cleaning is crucial for hygiene and product longevity.

Daily Cleaning:

1. Immediately after each use, disassemble the lid, spout, and all gaskets from the bottle body.
2. Wash all parts thoroughly with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive dish soap. Use a soft brush for hard-to-reach areas.
3. Rinse all components completely to remove any soap residue.
4. Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing. Incomplete drying can lead to bacterial growth and spoilage of beverages.

Important Cleaning Notes:

• Do not use abrasive cleaners, scrub brushes, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or materials.
• Do not boil or sterilize the entire bottle, as this may affect insulation performance or deform parts.
• For ice, use small pieces. Do not force large ice cubes into the bottle, as this can deform the internal stopper and cause leaks.

Safety Precautions

To ensure safe use and prevent injury or damage, please observe the following:

• Keep out of reach of infants and young children when not under direct supervision.
• Use this product only for its intended purpose of holding beverages.
• Do not place near fire or other heat sources (e.g., stoves, ovens).
• Do not open the lid while the bottle is tilted or with your face close to the spout, especially with hot liquids, as hot liquid or steam may spray out and cause burns.
• When drinking hot liquids, do not tilt the bottle suddenly.
• Ensure the drinking spout is securely attached to the main body. Improper attachment can lead to leaks and potential burns or damage to belongings.
• Ensure both silicone gaskets are correctly installed and the lid is securely closed.
• Do not overfill the bottle. Overfilling can cause leaks when the lid is closed.
• When closing the lid, do not tilt or shake the bottle.
• Never put the following into the bottle:
  • Dry ice or carbonated beverages (internal pressure can build up, preventing the lid from opening or causing contents to spray out, leading to injury or mess).
  • Miso soup, soups, or other liquids with high salt content (can cause rust or degrade insulation performance).
  • Warm sports drinks (can cause rust or degrade insulation performance).
• Avoid dropping the bottle or subjecting it to strong impacts. This can cause leaks, damage, or impair insulation performance.
• Do not place the bottle in a freezer. This can cause damage to the bottle and impair insulation performance.
• If insulation performance degrades (e.g., the exterior becomes hot with hot liquids or cold with cold liquids), discontinue use.
• When carrying the bottle, always ensure the lock ring is securely engaged to prevent accidental opening.
• Before going out, invert the product to confirm there are no leaks.
• When placing the bottle in a bag, always keep it upright to prevent potential leaks.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, please refer to the following common solutions:

• Leaks:
  • Check that all silicone gaskets are correctly seated and not damaged.
  • Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and the lock mechanism is engaged.
  • Verify that the bottle is not overfilled.
  • Inspect for any signs of impact damage to the bottle body or lid.
• Poor Insulation Performance:
  • Ensure the lid is fully closed and sealed.
  • Check for any dents or damage to the bottle body, which can compromise vacuum insulation.
  • Confirm that the bottle has not been placed in a freezer.
• Lid Difficult to Open:
  • If carbonated beverages were placed inside, internal pressure might make it difficult to open. Do not force it; allow pressure to equalize safely.

If problems persist after attempting these solutions, please contact customer support.
