Frequently Asked Questions

• • Is the jug dishwasher safe? It is recommended to hand-wash the jug in warm soapy water to maintain the clarity of the plastic and the integrity of the seal.
• • How do I clean it quickly? Add a drop of dish soap and warm water, then use the pulse function for 20 seconds before rinsing.
