Troubleshooting
Jug not keeping beverages hot/cold as long as expected.
Ensure the lid is properly sealed. Allow the jug to pre-heat or pre-cool with hot or cold water for a few minutes before filling with your beverage. Excessive opening and closing of the lid can also affect temperature retention.
Surface appears scratched or dull.
Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using any abrasive cleaning materials. Minor scuffs may be inherent to the material's finish over time with use.
Difficulty pouring, or dripping from the spout.
Ensure the lid is correctly aligned. Pour steadily. If dripping persists, check for any obstructions or damage to the spout area.
