2. Setup and First Use

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the Mikro-Fix I50 container and its lid from the packaging.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all parts of the container (base and lid) with warm soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. The container is also dishwasher safe (see Section 4 for details).
3. Lid Assembly: Ensure the automatic valve on the lid is clean and free from any obstructions.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Filling and Sealing

• Place food into the container. Do not overfill; leave some space for expansion during heating.
• Align the lid with the container base and press down firmly around the edges until it is securely sealed. The lid is designed to be leak-proof for transport.

3.2 Microwave Use

• The Mikro-Fix I50 is designed for microwave reheating. It can be used directly from the freezer.
• When microwaving, ensure the automatic valve on the lid is clear. This valve automatically releases steam to prevent overpressure and ensures easy lid removal after heating.
• Place the container in the microwave. Heat food according to your microwave's instructions and the food's requirements.
• The raised design at the base of the container promotes even heating, reducing cold spots in the center and preventing overheating at the edges.
• After heating, carefully remove the container from the microwave. Be aware that the container and its contents will be hot.
• To open, gently lift the lid. The automatic valve ensures that no excessive force is required.

3.3 Transporting Food

• Thanks to its leak-proof lid, the Mikro-Fix I50 is suitable for transporting meals to work or school.
• Ensure the lid is securely fastened before transport to prevent spills.

4. Maintenance and Care

• Dishwasher Safe: The Tupperware Mikro-Fix I50 container and lid are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack for best results.
• Hand Washing: If washing by hand, use warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid scratching the surface. Rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to prevent water spots.
• Stain Removal: For stubborn food stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stain, let it sit for a few hours, then wash as usual.
• Storage: Store the container with the lid slightly ajar or separated to allow air circulation and prevent odors.

5. Troubleshooting

• Lid is difficult to open: Ensure the automatic valve is not blocked. If microwaving, the valve should release pressure. If cold, run warm water over the lid to help release the seal.
• Food not heating evenly: While the Mikro-Fix I50 is designed for even heating, ensure food is spread out evenly within the container. Stirring food halfway through heating can also help.
• Container retains odors: Wash thoroughly and ensure it is completely dry before storing. For persistent odors, try soaking with a mixture of water and baking soda or white vinegar.
