RapidCool

Why is my RapidCool always green?

Here at Nuby, we know all too well how essential our RapidCool has become to many parents’ feeding routines – so we’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing an issue with the digital lid. Please rest assured that we’ll look into this matter promptly so you’re able to get back to using your product without issue.

To understand whether there’s a technical issue with the lid - could we please ask you to run a quick test? Please make sure the flask has fully reset and no formula is present before testing:


To test the lid:

  1. Add 180ml / 6oz boiling water straight from your kettle into the flask and, once the lid is secured, give the flask a good shake before turning upside down for 10 seconds to allow the water to make contact with the thermostat for the lid to change colour (amber).
  2. Stand the flask upright and manually time 4 minutes. 
  3. Turn the flask upside down again for a further 10 seconds to allow contact with the thermostat – the lid should now appear green, with your water ready to dispense.

Hopefully the above test has rectified your concerns. The flask must always be fully inverted for the water to reach the thermostat within the lid and provide the correct reading. If you’re still experiencing issues after testing, could we please ask you to provide us with some further details so we’re able to investigate:

 

  • A clear image of the digital lid 
  • A short video showing boiling water added into the flask, held upside down and the lid not activating to amber
  • Proof of purchase
  • Postage address
  • Contact telephone number 
  • Batch number – starting with the letter H (you will find this on the base of your cooling flask)

A member of our customer services will then be in touch regarding next steps.

Why is my RapidCool not cooling?

Here at Nuby, we know all too well how essential our RapidCool has become to many parents’ feeding routines – so we’re sorry to hear that you’re experiencing an issue with RapidCool. 

 

This issue is most common when the RapidCool flask has not fully reset.

 

Allowing your flask to reset before use or testing is essential – as well as ensuring that the flask is not exposed to sunlight or any source of heat – it should be stored in a cool dry space. Please see the below care instructions to ensure proper use of the RapidCool:

 

Allowing the flask to recover

Heat activates the material within the wall of the flask, once activated, the flask must recover. If the RapidCool is used too soon it will not cool as per instructions and can become too hot to hold - in turn affecting the performance of the digital lid. 

 

Washing in hot water

We do not recommend washing the RapidCool flask in water that is too hot. Doing so will activate the flask and mean that a further 3 hours are needed for the flask to reset. We recommend washing in warm water only. 

 

Cold water / UV sterilising

Cold water / UV sterilisation will have no impact on the reset function of the flask, as it has not encountered a source of heat. Please allow 3 hours minimum after you have last added boiling water until next use.

 

Steam sterilising

If you choose to steam sterilise, you must wait a minimum of 4 hours before the flask is used to make a feed from the end of the sterilisation cycle.

  3. Turn the flask upside down again for a further 10 seconds to allow contact with the thermostat – the lid should now appear green, with your water ready to dispense.
  4. At this point, dispense the water into a bottle and test on the inside of the wrist.

 

At this point the water should be of safe temperature, if you still have concerns, please contact us with the following information:
