Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to open or close.
Ensure there is no food debris around the rim or the steam vent. If the plastic feels stiff, try running it under warm water briefly.
Mug appears warped after microwaving.
Ensure the steam vent was properly opened before heating. Avoid overheating food for extended periods. Check dishwasher usage; ensure it is placed on the top rack.
