IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

This alfi™ glass vacuum insulated product is designed for safe use. With all glass vacuum
insulated products, certain safeguards must be followed to prevent breakage. Glass vacuum
insulated product breakage can be accompanied by a loud noise and can cause glass and
contents to eject forcefully. The warranty does not cover glass or capillary breakage caused
by the customer or damage that occurs due to improper use. The warranty is also not valid in
cases of faults or defects arising from repairs or modifications implemented by unauthorized
third parties.

WARNINGS

• Glass breakage can cause burns or cuts to eyes, face, and hands.

• NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE BY CHILDREN: Keep out of the reach of children,

especially when product contains hot contents, which may burn or scald user.

• DO NOT put hands, cleaning tools, or other objects including, but not limited to
cutlery, into container. DO NOT use to carry or store ice cubes. Anything other than
liquid can cause glass breakage.

• DO NOT place product in a freezer.

• Glass liners are fragile. If mishandled or dropped, the liner may break.

• Always check glass liner for breakage or cracks before each use.

• For maximum thermal efficiency and to reduce risk of glass liner breakage, preheat or

pre-chill product just prior to use. Fill with hot/cold tap water, attach lid, let stand 5 to
10 minutes and empty water. After filling container with contents, re-cover with lid to
increase thermal efficiency. Never use a microwave, conventional oven, or other
heat source for this purpose.

• DO NOT use product in microwave, on a drip coffee maker, on stove-top, or in any
type of oven.

• Periodically twist-tighten base to prevent from coming off.

• DO NOT drink directly from container.

• DO NOT overfill container: Leave space at top of container for lid and stopper (if

present) to avoid overflow. Hot contents may burn or scald user if overflow occurs.

• DO NOT fill with thick liquids such as soups, as these may block the spout and may
render the product inoperable.

• Always test temperature of contents before consuming.

• DO NOT look directly into product when filling; keep at arm’s length.

• After filling, always ensure stopper is securely tightened.

• DO NOT stir contents.

• Check periodically to make sure any gasket (flexible band around lid and/or stopper)

is present and properly positioned to prevent contents from passing through stopper
when stopper is closed (if applicable to product). Missing, worn or misaligned gasket
may cause product to leak. Leakage of hot contents may burn or scald user.

• This product is “FOR TABLE TOP USE ONLY”; DO NOT use this product to transport
liquids on-the-go as it may leak if not maintained in an upright position.

• In general, contents should not be left in container for longer than 24 hours.
However, the rate at which contents spoil depends on several factors. Certain
contents that include, for example, dairy and/or tomato may start to spoil sooner.
Proceed with caution when using the product with quick spoiling contents.

• If contents are left in container longer than 24 hours, or you suspect spoilage, use
caution when opening container. Contents spoilage can cause pressure inside
container to build, possibly leading to forceful ejection of stopper or contents. In such
circumstances, before attempting to open container, ENSURE THE OPENING IS
POINTED AWAY FROM THE USER OR OTHER PERSONS TO AVOID INJURY.

• DO NOT use to store or carry carbonated drinks or dry ice. This may cause
lid/stopper and contents to eject forcefully or leak.

• DO NOT use tools or devices to force container to open.

• If you are unable to open container by hand, do not open it and dispose of it at your

local waste facility.
