BOTTLES

To enjoy your Sponser Drinking-Bottle for a long time the following handling instructions should be considered:

Wash thoroughly with detergent before the first use. The most efficient cleaning is done in the dishwashing. Do not use abrasive detergents. The bottles can be used for cold and warm beverages up to 60 degree Celsius, but only to a limited degree with carbonated drinks. Carbonated of fermenting drinks can lead to leakage and the cap can open itself unintentionally and abruptly. Filled bottles should be stored in upright position. Long storage in flat position (like in a sports bag or backpack can lead to spillage of a small amount of liquid. The bottles should not be thrown on the bottom. The cap can break when they are treated roughly. To maintain a proper surface and a nice print the bottles should not be treated with sharp items. The bottles can be recycled at the end of their useful life.
