Troubleshooting
Mug tips over easily.
Ensure the mug is placed on a flat, stable surface. The wide base is designed for stability, but uneven surfaces can still pose a risk.
Liquid flow from the spout lid is too fast or too slow.
Adjust the suction applied while drinking. The lid is designed to control flow based on the user's drinking action. Ensure the lid is properly seated.
Difficulty gripping the handles.
Ensure your hands are dry. The large, smooth handles are designed for ease of grip; if persistent difficulty occurs, consider alternative adaptive equipment.
Mug has a persistent odor.
Wash thoroughly in a dishwasher or with warm, soapy water. Allow to air dry completely. For stubborn odors, a baking soda paste can be used for gentle cleaning.
