Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Getting the most out of your Team Alu Water Bottle involves simple setup, understanding its compatibility, and following proper care routines.
Initial Setup
- Wash Before First Use: Before using for the first time, thoroughly wash the bottle, cap, and spout with warm, soapy water. Rinse well.
- Air Dry: Allow all components to air dry completely to prevent odors or mildew.
Compatibility
- Beverages: This bottle is designed for cold beverages only. Do not use with hot liquids as it can cause pressure buildup or heat the exterior to an unsafe temperature.
- Usage Environments: Suitable for sports, travel, outdoor activities, school, and office use.
Care & Maintenance
- Hand Wash Only: To preserve the integrity of the aluminum and the team graphics, hand wash your bottle. Do not put it in a dishwasher.
- Cleaning Process: Use a mild dish soap and warm water. A bottle brush can be helpful for thorough cleaning of the interior. For the spout, rinse thoroughly and use a small brush (like a straw cleaner) if needed.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners, scourers, or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the aluminum finish and damage the graphics.
- No Freezing or Microwaving: Do not place the bottle in a freezer or microwave. Freezing can damage the aluminum, and microwaving is unsafe.
- Storage: When not in use, store the bottle with the cap off to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
