3. Operating Instructions
The Tupperware Jug is designed for ease of use with its intelligent push-button lid system.
3.1 Filling the Jug
- Remove the lid by gently lifting it off the jug.
- Pour your desired beverage into the jug. Do not overfill; leave a small space at the top to prevent spillage when the lid is applied.

3.2 Sealing for Storage
To seal the jug for leakproof storage:

4. Care and Maintenance
Proper care will extend the life of your Tupperware Jug.
4.1 Cleaning
- Hand Washing: Wash the jug and lid with warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or brush to clean all surfaces. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Dishwasher Use: The jug and lid are generally dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack to avoid excessive heat exposure. Ensure no parts are obstructed during the wash cycle.
- Drying: Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent odor or mildew buildup.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the stain, let it sit for a few hours, then scrub and rinse.
4.2 Storage
Store the jug and lid separately or with the lid slightly ajar to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
