Operating Instructions
Using your WantJoin Insulated Beverage Dispenser is straightforward:
- Prepare Beverage: Prepare your desired hot or cold beverage separately. Remember, this dispenser does not heat or cool liquids directly.
- Open Lid: Unscrew and remove the threaded lid.
- Fill Dispenser: Carefully pour the beverage into the dispenser. Do not fill past the maximum capacity line to allow for lid closure and prevent spills.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Liquid is leaking from the lid. | Lid not securely tightened; dispenser overfilled. | Ensure the threaded lid is fully tightened. Do not overfill the dispenser. |
| Liquid is leaking from the spigot. | Spigot not properly installed; internal seal damaged or dirty. | Check spigot installation and ensure all washers are correctly in place. Clean the spigot thoroughly. If leakage persists, the spigot may need replacement. |
| Temperature display is blank or inaccurate. | Battery drained or incorrectly inserted. | Check the CR2032 button cell battery. Replace if necessary and ensure it is inserted with correct polarity. |
| Beverage does not stay hot/cold for long. | Lid not sealed properly; dispenser left open; extreme ambient temperature. | Ensure the lid is tightly sealed.
