Setup and First Use
- Unpack: Carefully remove all canisters and seals from their packaging.
- Wash: Before first use, wash all components (canisters and seals) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly.
- Dry: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing food.
- Assemble: Place the appropriate red seal onto the rim of each white canister. Press firmly around the edge to create a secure, airtight fit.
Operating Instructions
Sealing the Canisters
To ensure an airtight seal:
- Fill the canister, leaving adequate space for the lid.
- Place the red seal onto the canister rim.
- Press down firmly in the center of the seal, then work your way around the edge with your thumbs to expel air and create a tight seal.
Opening the Canisters
To open, lift one edge of the red seal with your thumb or a small utensil until air enters, then peel the seal off.
Stacking
The canisters are designed to stack on top of each other or on top of compatible Tupperware Reminder Canister Sets for efficient storage.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: All components are top-rack dishwasher safe. For best results and to prolong product life, hand washing with warm soapy water is recommended.
- Drying: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
- Stains: To prevent staining, avoid storing foods with high pigment (e.g., tomato sauce) for extended periods. If staining occurs, a paste of baking soda and water can help reduce it.
- Heat: Do not use in microwave ovens, conventional ovens, or on stovetops.
- Freezing: While suitable for freezer storage, allow contents to thaw slightly before attempting to remove seals, as cold can make plastic less flexible.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lid is difficult to open. | Airtight seal is very strong; cold temperatures can make plastic less flexible. | Lift one edge of the seal to break the vacuum. If from freezer, allow to warm slightly. |
| Lid does not seal properly. | Seal or rim is dirty; seal is not aligned correctly; canister is overfilled. | Clean seal and rim. Ensure seal is centered and pressed firmly around all edges. Do not overfill. |
| Canister retains odors or stains. | Strongly scented or colored foods stored for extended periods. | Wash immediately after use. For odors/stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply, let sit, then wash. |
