Liddy™ Maintenance Guide

Keep your Liddy system working perfectly with these simple maintenance steps

O-Ring Replacement

When to replace: If you notice your handles wobble or you lose confidence in your handles ability to stay secure.

Note: Each handle comes with a spare O-ring already installed inside. You don't need to purchase replacements unless both O-rings are worn. Please see step 2 for more details.
Note 2: Liddy is not responsible for Lids that are not properly latched, maintained nor tampered with.
1
Remove Handle from Lid or Base Station
Look at the bottom of the handle for the factory black O-ring. If this O-ring is still in place, it needs to be removed prior to the installation of the replacement O-ring.

2
Open the Handle Top
Locate the removable top section of the handle. Twist counterclockwise to unscrew and remove the top portion, exposing the spare O-ring inside.

Note: If your spare O-ring has already been utilized you can pick up O-rings from your local hardware store. Factory O-ring: 17mm x 2mm, Replacement O-ring: 15.54mm x 2.62mm (≈ 5/8" x 3/32").

Remove the Spare O-Ring
Carefully remove the orange FDA silicone O-ring from inside the handle. This is your replacement O-ring.

Insert New O-Ring
If not completed in step 1, remove the old O-ring if not already removed. Then set the new O-ring on the handle bottom and use your fingers to press into the slot while twisting the handle until it is stretched over the 4 tabs/bottom portion.

Reattach Top of Handle & Press on O-Ring
Screw the top portion of the handle back on by turning clockwise until snug. To fully set the O-ring in place, gently press the handle onto either Liddy Lid until the handle fully seats and 1/4 turn locks securely. Check to ensure O-ring is fully set behind the 4 tabs.

Note: This O-ring has a 131% larger cross section than the factory installed O-ring. This is to accommodate normal wear and tear but may feel tough to turn to begin with. The feeling will improve with normal use.

Handle Height Adjustment

When to adjust: If your Liddy lids keep falling forward or backward when stored in the base station, you may need to adjust the handle height position.

1
Identify the Problem
The handle height is set from the factory to match your Liddy set size. Sometimes these setpoints can shift for various reasons. The proper setpoint allows both lids to stand vertically when interlocked and placed in the base station with both handles.
If the lids are leaning too far backwards, the handles need to be raised. If the lids are leaning too far forwards, or falling forwards, the handles need to be lowered.

Note: The XL lid shipped in the MXL set will require leaning against the backsplash while in the base station if not accompanied by the M lid.
Note 2: The majority of Liddy V1 use cases have the base station pressed against the backsplash which nullifies any over-lean to begin with.
2
Remove Lids & Handles, Grab a Butter Knife
The Liddy owl eyes are slotted to accommodate a common butter knife. Hold the base station with 1 hand while turning the eyes. Clockwise lowers the handles, counterclockwise raises the handles.

Note: The max height of the eyes is intentional to keep the handles from falling out while supporting the Liddy set. The lowest setpoint is limited by the curvature of the handle touching the top of the base station.
