Troubleshooting
The heat-changing design is no longer appearing.
Ensure the liquid temperature is sufficiently hot. If the drink is lukewarm, the thermal coating will not trigger. Also, check that no abrasive damage has occurred to the surface.
The design looks faded or scratched.
This is usually caused by abrasive cleaning. Always use a soft cloth and avoid scrubbing the exterior surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your AC/DC mug lasts as long as possible, follow these care instructions:
- Hand Wash Only: Use mild soap and a soft sponge. Never put this mug in a dishwasher, as the high-heat cycle and harsh detergents will strip the heat-sensitive coating.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use steel wool or abrasive scrubbing pads, which can scratch the surface and permanently damage the hidden graphic.
- Microwave Caution: While the ceramic is generally safe, frequent microwave use can degrade the thermal reaction layer over time; hand-washing is strictly recommended.
- Temperature Handling: The mug is designed for standard hot beverages. Avoid extreme temperature shocks (such as placing a freezing cold mug directly into boiling water).
