Unboxing Your Frank Green Lid
Identifying All Parts Correctly
First things first: lay out all components. Compare them to the product manual or box illustration to avoid mix-ups.
Quality Check Before Assembly
Make sure there are no cracks, tears in the gasket, or deformed parts. If anything looks off, don’t force it—reach out to customer service.
Understanding the Components
Push Button Mechanism
This is the heart of the lid. It controls the open/close function and must sit snugly.
Silicone Seal and Gasket
These keep the liquids in and air out. Improper installation is the #1 cause of leaks.
Locking System
A series of ridges and grooves ensures that everything clicks into place and stays there.
Step-by-Step Assembly Instructions
Step 1: Placing the Gasket Correctly
Start with the silicone gasket—slide it around the bottom ridge of the drinking spout. It should sit flat and even, not twisted.
Step 2: Aligning the Lid Base and Inner Components
Drop the spout into the lid base and gently twist until it locks. Then, place the push button module in its housing, lining up the arrows (if marked).
Step 3: Securing the Push Button into Place
Press the button down and rotate gently until you feel or hear a soft click. Don’t over-tighten—this isn’t a jar of pickles.
Step 4: Testing for Functionality
Push the button and check if the lid opens smoothly. Try holding it upside down to ensure no leaks.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Misplacing Seals or Gaskets
Even a slightly off gasket can ruin the seal. Always double-check positioning.
Over-Tightening or Forcing Components
If it doesn’t fit, something’s wrong. Forcing it can warp the plastic.
Skipping a Test Run
Always run a water test before taking it out. It’s better to leak over the sink than your laptop bag.
Maintenance Tips for Longevity
How Often to Clean Your Lid
Daily if you use it for coffee or tea, and at least weekly for water.
Lubricating Seals and Checking for Wear
A tiny dab of food-safe silicone grease on the seal every few months can extend its life.
Proper Storage
Keep it dry and loosely assembled when not in use to avoid warping or bacteria buildup.
Troubleshooting Assembly Issues
Lid Not Sealing Properly
Check if the gasket is twisted or out of place.
Button Not Popping Up
Could be assembled too tightly. Disassemble, adjust, and recheck the push button alignment.
Leaks or Spills After Assembly
Inspect for hairline cracks or missing pieces. Test with cold water first.
