Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Before first use, thoroughly wash all parts of your Contigo West Loop Autoseal Travel Mug. The lid is top-rack dishwasher safe, while the stainless steel body should be hand washed. Ensure all components are dry before assembly.
Filling Instructions
Fill your mug with your desired hot or cold beverage. Do not overfill; leave space for the lid to seal properly. For best thermal performance, pre-heat with hot water or pre-chill with cold water for a few minutes before adding your drink.
Compatibility
This mug is designed to fit `9.2 x 8.9 cm` (diameter) into most common car cup holders, making it a versatile choice for various vehicles. Its compact `19.7 cm` height also allows it to fit under many single-serve coffee machines. It is compatible with both hot and cold non-carbonated beverages.
Care & Maintenance
- Lid Cleaning: The lid is dishwasher-safe (top rack recommended). For hand washing, pivot the lid open fully to access all internal areas and rinse thoroughly under warm, soapy water. There are no separate parts to remove, simplifying the cleaning process.
- Body Cleaning: Hand wash the stainless steel body with warm, soapy water. Use a bottle brush for thorough cleaning if needed. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers that could damage the finish.
- Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling to prevent odor or mildew buildup.
- Storage: Store the mug with the lid slightly ajar to allow air circulation, especially if storing for extended periods.
- Important: Do not use bleach or cleaners containing chlorine. Do not microwave. Do not freeze. Do not use for carbonated beverages, as pressure buildup can cause the lid to eject forcibly.
