Why isn't my thermos keeping food hot?

To ensure that your thermos is properly sealed for maximum heat retention make sure to pull the entire thermos out of your OmieBox, hold the stainless steel container thermos in one hand and the vacuum lid in another. and Screw the lid on tightly, making sure that the securing insert (the square piece) does not become loose as you tighten the lid as tight as possible. Then re-insert the thermos back into the square compartment.

Secondly, although this is rare, please make sure that your OmieBox has a round rubber gasket fastened around the bottom of the thermos lid. This rubber gasket makes the thermos leakproof and helps keep heat from escaping.

How do I install the lid seal on my OmieBox?

Align the seal with the slots in the top lid and press down. Make sure to press the seal all the way down.
