Vacuvita manual 25
Cleaning the container
- Wash the container and the lid by using water and mild dishwasher
soap.
-
The base of the container is top-rack dishwasher safe. The lid should
only be cleaned manually to avoid damage.
Do not scrub the seal or the valve using scouring
materials as this may damage it and prevent the container
from sealing
- Thoroughly dry the container and the lid before using it again.
Cleaning and re-installing the seal
- Flip the lid upside down. You will notice a
small recess on the inner rim. Place your
finger in the indent and gently pull out the
seal.
-
Clean the seal using water and a mild soap.
Do not put the seal in the dishwasher.
Do not use sharp objects to remove or reinstall the seal.
- Wipe the seal dry before re-installing it in the lid.
- To re-install the seal, locate the flat side of the seal. Keeping the seal
flat side down, start by placing it one of the corners and pressing it
down, working your way along the sides.
Cleaning the valve
-
Grab the valve on top of the container by the
flaps and pull it out of the lid.
- Clean the valve using water and mild soap.
- To re-install the valve, place it in the middle
of the lid, aligning it to the indent. The nipple
of the valve should go through the hole.
Grab the nipple from the other side of the lid
and pull it gently to secure it in place.
