How do I engage the stay-open lid feature?
Push the lid upwards beyond a 90-degree angle. It is designed to remain open until you manually close it.
Is the inner bucket safe for washing in a dishwasher?
The inner bucket is made of durable plastic and can typically be washed with warm, soapy water. Check the product manual for specific dishwasher compatibility, but handwashing is generally recommended.
How do I maintain the stainless steel finish?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Dry immediately with a soft, clean cloth to prevent water spots and maintain shine. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
