Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Team Alu Water Bottle, please follow these guidelines:
Initial Setup
- Wash Before First Use: Before using your new bottle, thoroughly wash it with warm, soapy water. Rinse well to remove any manufacturing residues.
- Air Dry: Allow the bottle to air dry completely with the cap off to prevent odors.
Compatibility
- Beverages: This bottle is designed for cold beverages only, such as water, juice, or sports drinks.
- Avoid: Do not use with hot liquids, carbonated drinks, or dairy products. Hot liquids can create pressure or cause burns, while carbonated drinks can also build pressure, potentially damaging the bottle or causing leaks. Dairy products can spoil quickly and are difficult to clean thoroughly from aluminium.
Care & Maintenance
- Hand Wash Only: To protect the 100% Aluminium material and the official team design, hand wash your bottle. Use mild dish soap and a soft brush for the interior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers.
- Rinse Thoroughly: After washing, rinse the bottle and cap thoroughly with clean water.
- Air Dry: Always allow the bottle to air dry completely, upside down with the cap removed, to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
- Avoid Dishwashers: Dishwashers can damage the bottle's exterior finish, especially the printed team badge and graduated colors, and may compromise the material's integrity.
- Storage: Store the bottle in a clean, dry place with the cap off or loosely placed to ensure proper ventilation.
