Troubleshooting
Jug feels heavy when full
Use a firm, two-handed grip, utilizing both the handle and the body of the jug for stability.
Inaccurate measurements
Ensure the jug is placed on a level surface before filling and reading the measurement marks. Verify that the liquid level is precisely at the desired mark.
Pouring is not entirely spill-free
Pour slowly and steadily. Ensure the spout is properly aligned with the receiving container. For very viscous liquids, a slower pour might be necessary.
Discoloration on the inside
This may be due to mineral deposits from water or residue from previous contents. Wash with mild vinegar and water solution, rinse thoroughly, and dry.
