  * Do not tilt the body immediately after pouring in a hot beverage and closing the lid. The contents may leak.

6. After drinking the beverage, keep the product in an upright position and securely close the lid.
   Securely close the lid to fix the automatic lock.
   Caution

   • Make sure the product does not suffer any strong impact while carrying it. The lid may open.
   • If you place the product in a bag, make sure it is upright to prevent any accidental leakage. The product may leak if you place it on its side.
   • If you place the product in a bag, make sure the button keeps away from bag contents. The lid may open.

How to Clean

• Clean the product on the same day after every use.

• Use mild kitchen detergent (for table or cookware).

• Use a soft sponge or cloth.

• Clean the product thoroughly to prevent any odor.

  1. Wash each part using a sponge with diluted detergent water or lukewarm water, and then thoroughly rinse it with water.
  2. Wipe the water off with a dry cloth and dry the parts thoroughly.
     CAUTION Do not soak the body when washing them. (Water may enter.)

• After washing the whole body, immediately use a dry cloth to wipe off the moisture on its outer surface. Not wiping off all droplets could leave water stains or cause rust and other marks.

• Do not use thinners, cleansers, bleaches, cleaning wipes, metallic scrubbing brushes, or nylon scrubbing brushes.

• Do not use a dishwasher or dish dryer, and do not wash with boiling water. (Except gasket)

• Be sure to attach the gaskets and spout.

• Dry the body and lid completely after removing stains when not in use for a long time.

If an odor remains on the gasket
Depending on the contents, the odor may remain on the gasket. In this case, leave the gasket in boiling water for approximately 30 minutes to reduce the odor. If the odor is still noticeable, purchase a new gasket (sold as an optional part).

Attaching and Removing the gasket

CAUTION Do not attach the gasket in the incorrect place or direction. The contents may leak.

• Attaching and Removing the lid gasket

  • To remove
    Slowly remove the lid gasket while holding and turning it.

  • To attach
    When attaching the lid gasket, make sure to fit it completely in the proper direction.

If marks start to become visible on the inside of the main body

  2. After a few hours have elapsed, wash the main body with a soft brush and then thoroughly rinse it.
  3. Dry the main body completely.
     Note: Do not use detergents for other brands’ pots or insulated bottles. The gasket may be broken.
