Use Instructions

How should I prepare my thermos for optimal insulation?

Fill your thermos with hot water from a kettle and let it stand with the lid off for 5 minutes. Then carefully pour out the hot water. Use extreme caution when handling hot liquids! 

Is there a limit to how much food I can fit in my thermos?

Do not fill the thermos past the ridge below the neck or it might leak.

Can I boil the OmieBox UP thermos?

No. Boiling the thermos has no effect on its insulation performance, and can in fact completely damage the thermos.

Care Instructions

How should I clean OmieBox UP?

Please wash thoroughly before you use OmieBox UP for the first time.

Most OmieBox UP parts are dishwasher safe except for the following parts. Do not put these in the dishwasher:

  • Thermos
  • Thermos lid
  • Ice pack
  • Securing insert

How should I clean the seals?

There are two silicon seals in your OmieBox. There is one large square seal that goes around the perimeter of the box. The other is a round O-ring that goes around your thermos lid. Both need to be removed daily for cleaning. Wash in warm soapy water and let dry completely. Without daily cleaning, silicon is highly prone to mould growth which is irreversible and requires the part to be completely replaced. No biggie, we all get busy and forget sometimes. Should mould grow, just come to our website to buy spare seals - we’ll keep plenty in stock for you.

Troubleshooting

My thermos isn’t keeping my food warm enough

OmieBox is designed for kids 3-8 years old. To minimize and prevent any potential burns on small children, we constructed the thermos to maintain food at slightly cooler temperatures than an adult might desire.

But we do have a few pro tips to make sure your thermos works as designed! First - always preheat your thermos with hot water. Second - opt for foods like soup or items with sauce. Bread based items such as quesadillas or chicken nuggets won’t stay warm very long. If you think your thermos isn't performing at its best, you can test the insulation of your thermos by following the steps below: 

  • Put the thermos on a flat surface and pour boiling water into the thermos.
  • After about 5 minutes, feel the outside of the thermos (below the neck).
  • If you feel any hot spots, the  insulation has been compromised and you may be eligible for a replacement thermos.

What if I can't open my OmieBox UP Thermos?

If your OmieBox UP thermos lid is hard to open, please try giving it a 20 minute ice-bath. But don't force it! Just email us at hello@bebelifestyle.co.uk and we can help.

If the lid is stuck or difficult to open, do not use excessive force. Forcing it open could lead to sudden pressure release and increase the likelihood of an accident.
