Operating Instructions
- Filling: Fill the bottle with your desired hot or cold beverage. Do not overfill; leave a small space below the stopper to prevent spills and allow for proper sealing.
- Sealing: Insert the stopper firmly into the bottle opening and twist clockwise until it is securely tightened. Ensure the stopper is properly aligned to prevent leaks.
- Attaching the Cup Lid: Screw the outer cup lid onto the top of the bottle until it is snug. This lid provides an additional layer of insulation and serves as a convenient drinking cup.
- Pouring: To pour, slightly unscrew the stopper (approximately half a turn) until liquid can flow out. This allows for controlled pouring without fully removing the stopper, minimizing heat loss or gain. Once finished pouring, tighten the stopper immediately.
- Using the Cup: The outer lid can be used as an 8-ounce drinking cup.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: For optimal longevity and hygiene, hand washing is recommended for all components of the bottle. Use warm water and mild dish soap. A bottle brush may be helpful for thorough cleaning of the interior.
- Dishwasher Use: While some components may be dishwasher safe, hand washing helps preserve the finish and seals over time. If using a dishwasher, place components on the top rack.
- Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before reassembling or storing to prevent odors or mildew.
- Storage: Store the bottle with the stopper slightly loosened to allow air circulation.
- Avoid: Do not use bleach or cleaners containing chlorine. Do not place in microwave or freezer.
Troubleshooting
- Reduced Temperature Retention:
- Ensure the stopper is tightly sealed.
- Pre-condition the bottle with hot or cold water before filling.
- Check for any damage to the vacuum seal (e.g., dents on the exterior).
- Leaking:
- Verify the stopper is correctly aligned and fully tightened.
- Inspect the stopper's silicone seal for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
- Difficulty Opening/Closing Stopper:
- Ensure the bottle is clean and free of sticky residues.
- Do not overtighten.
