VACUUM INSULATED STAINLESS STEEL FOOD JAR

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.

 This product is top-rack dishwasher safe; however, hand washing 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). Although this product is top-rack dishwasher safe, hand washing is

recommended to ensure that all parts of the product are thoroughly cleaned.

 For maximum thermal efficiency, preheat or pre-chill the product just prior to use. Fill with

hot/cold tap water, attach lid, let stand 5 to 10 minutes and empty water. After filling container

with contents, re-cover with lid to increase thermal efficiency. Never use a microwave,

conventional oven, or other heat source for this purpose.

This document describes the care and use of a Thermos Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Food Jar.

Function Description

The Thermos Vacuum Insulated Stainless Steel Food Jar is designed to keep food hot or cold for extended periods. Its vacuum insulation technology helps maintain the temperature of its contents, making it suitable for carrying meals, soups, or other food items. The product is designed for portability and convenience, allowing users to transport food while preserving its desired temperature. It features a stopper with a lid and, in some models, an integrated spoon, enhancing its utility for on-the-go consumption.

Important Technical Specifications

While specific technical specifications like capacity or material grades are not explicitly detailed in this document, the core technology is vacuum insulation and the primary material is stainless steel. The product is designed to be top-rack dishwasher safe, though hand washing is recommended for optimal appearance and thorough cleaning. It is crucial to note that the product is not suitable for use in microwaves, on stove-tops, or in any type of oven, nor should it be used with carbonated drinks or dry ice, as these can cause forceful ejection of the lid/stopper and contents. For maximum thermal efficiency, the jar should be preheated or pre-chilled with hot/cold tap water for 5-10 minutes before filling with contents.

Usage Features

The food jar is designed for straightforward use with several key features:

Lid (A): Removed by twisting counterclockwise.
Spoon (if present): Pulled up to remove and snaps into the top of the stopper when fully folded and aligned.
Stopper (B): Opened by twisting counterclockwise. A slight initial resistance is normal and should be twisted past until fully removed.
Container (C): The main body for holding food.
Storage Base (D): Removed by twisting counterclockwise.
Gaskets (B3, B4): Essential for minimizing leaking and thermal efficiency. B3 is located on the underside of the stopper (B). B4 is found in the center of the stopper (B) underside; to remove it, hold the bottom of the stopper, press the two tabs inward near B2, and twist B2 counterclockwise to separate it from B3.
Assembly: Gaskets (B3, B4) must be properly seated. To reassemble B2 and B3, place B2 into B3, firmly hold B3, and twist B2 clockwise until firmly tight.
Filling: Do not overfill; leave space for the stopper (B) to avoid overflow, especially with hot contents to prevent burns or scalds.
Sealing: Replace both stopper (B) and lid (A) by twisting clockwise to ensure a tight seal.

Important Warnings for Usage:

Not recommended for use by children, especially with hot contents, due to burn/scald risk.
Always test the temperature of contents before consuming.
Do not overfill to prevent overflow and potential burns/scalds.
Ensure gaskets are present and properly positioned to prevent leaks, which can cause burns, scalds, or property damage.
Contents should generally not be left in the container for longer than 24 hours. Certain contents (dairy, homemade soup, tomato) spoil faster, especially if partially consumed or if the container is frequently opened and reclosed.
Spoilage can build pressure inside the container, potentially causing forceful ejection of the stopper or contents. If spoilage is suspected or contents have been in the container for over 24 hours, open with extreme caution, pointing the opening away from the user or others.
Do not use tools or devices to force the container open. If it cannot be opened by hand, dispose of it.
Do not store or carry carbonated drinks or dry ice as this can cause forceful ejection of the lid/stopper and contents.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and hygiene of the food jar:

Initial and Post-Use Cleaning: Before first use and as soon as possible after each use, all parts should be washed with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow time to dry completely before next use or storage.
Dishwasher Safety: The product is top-rack dishwasher safe. However, hand washing is recommended to ensure thorough cleaning and to preserve the product's appearance, as harsh dishwasher detergents and hot water can affect the finish.
Thorough Cleaning: Hand washing is particularly recommended to ensure that all parts are thoroughly cleaned, especially to remove residual liquids, foods, or other contents that may become trapped between components like lid parts, container parts, and gaskets.
Avoid Harsh Cleaners: DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as they may dull the finish.
Avoid Chlorine: DO NOT use bleach or cleaners containing chlorine on any parts of the product.
Gasket Maintenance: Periodically check that all gaskets (B3, B4) are present and properly positioned. Missing, worn, or misaligned gaskets can lead to leaks and reduced thermal efficiency.
Drying: Allow all parts to dry completely before reassembly or storage to prevent mold or odors.
