Important Warnings and Precautions

⚠️ Warning: Please follow these instructions to prevent injury, scalding, accidents, malfunction or performance deterioration of the product, spilling of beverages, etc.

• Do not allow infants or small children to use this product. Keep out of the reach of infants and small children.
• Always make sure that the parts are attached during use.
• Do not attach parts other than those specifically designed for this product.
• Do not use the product if its thermal insulation performance has deteriorated.
• Do not use if water enters the interior of the Vacuum Layer. If internal water seeps out, drinking it may cause illness.
• Leave approximately 1 cm (1/2-inch) of space at the top when filling the Main Body.

Diagram Description: A diagram illustrates the 'Vacuum Layer' and indicates the 'Drink Level' with a 1 cm space below the rim (part A) inside the Main Body.

General Precautions:

• When containing hot beverages: Drink slowly without tilting the product suddenly. The pressure inside the product may rise, making it difficult to remove the Lid Set. If that happens, open the Lid Cover once, and remove the Lid Set.
• Do not disassemble the product (other than parts designed to be disassembled).
• Do not heat in a microwave, as doing so may cause sparks.
• Do not place near open flames (from gas stoves, etc.), on top of electric heaters, or IH cooking devices, as doing so may cause a fire or malfunction.
• When pouring hot beverages into the Main Body, be careful not to let it tip over.
• Do not open the Lid Cover with the product close to your face or tilted toward you.
• Do not drink out of the product while driving.
• When a vehicle drink holder is available: Make sure the product sits securely inside the drink holder. Do not use a hanging-type drink holder that attaches to the window or air vent.
• Consume beverages within the same day. Spoiled beverages may produce gas, raising the pressure inside the product and causing the Lid Set to burst.
• Never fill the product with the following: Dry ice or carbonated drinks; Liquids high in sodium such as soup or Kobu-cha; Dairy products or fruit juice; Fruit pulp or tea leaves.
• Do not place near heat sources such as gas stoves, ovens, and heaters, as doing so may cause deformation or discoloration of the product.
• Break ice cubes into smaller pieces, as failure to do so may cause deformation of the Main Body and leakage.
• Place the product vertically when carrying it in a bag to prevent leakage or condensation.
• This product is designed to be drunk directly, so the beverage may splash if it is used for pouring.
• Do not scratch or rub the design on the outside of the Main Body strongly using fingernails or hard objects, as this may cause the design to come off.

Note: The rattling noise heard when the Main Body is shaken comes from the metallic foil used in the vacuum insulation for heat retention and does not indicate a malfunction.
