3. Setup

3.1 Initial Cleaning

Before first use, wash all parts of your Stanley IceFlow™ bottle and lid thoroughly. Use warm, soapy water and rinse completely. Ensure all components are dry before assembly.

3.2 Assembly

1. Insert the long, clear straw firmly into the designated opening on the underside of the Flip Straw 2.0 lid. Ensure it is securely seated.
2. Place the lid onto the bottle opening and twist clockwise until it is tightly secured.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Filling the Bottle

Unscrew the Flip Straw 2.0 lid by twisting it counter-clockwise. Fill the bottle with your desired beverage. Do not overfill; leave some space below the rim to prevent spills when attaching the lid. For best insulation performance, pre-chill or pre-heat the bottle with water before adding your beverage.

4.2 Sipping

To drink, simply flip up the straw spout on the lid. The wider opening allows for faster hydration. After drinking, push the straw spout back down firmly to close it and ensure a leak-resistant seal.

4.3 Carrying

Utilize the integrated carry handle for easy transport. Ensure the lid is securely closed and the straw spout is pushed down before carrying to prevent accidental spills.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Cleaning

The Stanley IceFlow™ Aerolight™ Bottle and its lid are designed for easy cleaning. They are dishwasher safe, though hand washing is preferred for extending the product's lifespan and maintaining its finish.

• Dishwasher Cleaning: Place all components (bottle, lid, straw) on the top rack of your dishwasher.
• Hand Washing: Use warm, soapy water and a bottle brush for the interior of the bottle. For the lid and straw, use a small brush to clean all crevices.

5.2 Deep Cleaning the Lid

For a more thorough cleaning of the Flip Straw 2.0 lid, the spout can be removed. Carefully detach the spout from the lid, clean all parts, and reassemble ensuring it clicks back into place securely.

5.3 Storage

After cleaning, ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew. Store with the lid slightly ajar to allow air circulation.

6. Troubleshooting

• Leakage:
  • Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly and evenly.
  • Verify the straw spout is fully pushed down into the closed position.
  • Check that the internal straw is properly seated in the lid.
  • Inspect the lid's seal for any damage or debris.
• Difficulty Cleaning:
  • Utilize the removable spout feature for access to all parts of the lid.
  • Use appropriate brushes for narrow areas of the straw and spout.
• Reduced Insulation Performance:
  • Ensure the lid is securely closed.
  • Check for any visible damage to the bottle's exterior that might compromise the vacuum seal.
