3. Setup

1. Unpack Components: Carefully remove the green container, green grate, and white lid from their packaging.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all three components with warm, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely.
3. Assemble Grate: Place the green grate insert into the bottom of the green container. Ensure it sits flat and securely.
4. Ready for Use: The Veggie Keeper is now ready for storing your produce.

4. Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to effectively use your Tupperware Green Veggie Keeper:

1. Prepare Vegetables: Wash and dry your vegetables as you normally would before storage.
2. Place Vegetables: Arrange the prepared vegetables on top of the green grate inside the container. The grate helps to keep produce elevated, preventing contact with any condensation or moisture that may collect at the bottom. This is particularly beneficial for items like celery, carrots, and green onions.
3. Secure the Lid: Place the white lid firmly onto the green container. Ensure the lid is sealed properly around all edges to create an airtight environment, which is crucial for maintaining freshness.
4. Storage: Store the filled Veggie Keeper in your refrigerator.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life and effectiveness of your Veggie Keeper:

• Hand Washing Recommended: This product is not dishwasher safe. Wash all components by hand using warm water and mild dish soap.
• Rinsing: Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
• Drying: Allow all parts to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent moisture buildup and odors.
• Stain Removal: For stubborn food stains, a baking soda paste can be used. Apply, let sit for a few minutes, then scrub gently and rinse.

6. Troubleshooting

Lid Does Not Fit Properly

If you experience difficulty in sealing the lid or if it appears to not fit correctly:

• Check Alignment: Ensure the lid is correctly aligned with the container's rim before attempting to seal.
• Even Pressure: Apply even pressure around the entire perimeter of the lid when sealing.
• Inspect for Debris: Check the rim of both the container and the lid for any food particles or debris that might be obstructing a proper seal.
• Temperature: Sometimes, extreme temperature changes can affect plastic. Ensure the container and lid are at room temperature before attempting to seal if they have been exposed to very cold or hot conditions.
