THERMOS Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Food JAR with Containers

GENERAL CARE

• Before first use, and as soon as possible after each use, wash all parts with warm, soapy water. Rinse all parts thoroughly and allow time to dry.
• Contents should not be left in the container for longer than 24 hours. As soon as possible after each and every use, wash all parts with warm, soapy water. Rinse all parts thoroughly with clean water. Allow all parts to dry completely prior to next use or storage.
• DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers since they may dull the finish.
• DO NOT use bleach or cleaners containing chlorine on any parts of the product.
• All components of this product are top rack dishwasher safe; however, washing by hand is recommended as the dishwasher uses harsher detergents and hot water that may affect the appearance of your product.
• Residual liquids, foods, or other contents may become trapped between product components, such as lid parts, container parts, gaskets (flexible band around lid and/or stopper), or straws (if present in the product). Hand washing is recommended to ensure that all parts of the product are thoroughly cleaned.
• For maximum insulation efficiency (for stainless steel compartment only), preheat or pre-chill the compartment just prior to use. Fill with hot/cold tap water, insert stopper and attach lid, let stand 5 to 10 minutes, and empty water. After filling compartment with contents, or with the containers, re-cover product with stopper and lid to increase thermal efficiency. Never use microwave, conventional oven, or other heat source for this purpose.
