Operating Instructions
- Place Food: Serve food onto the scoop plate as usual.
- Scooping Assistance: When scooping food, guide your fork or spoon towards the raised, curved lip on one side of the plate. Use the lip as a barrier to push food onto your utensil.
- Stability: The suction base will keep the plate firmly in place, preventing accidental spills and providing a stable surface for eating.
- Removal: To remove the plate, gently lift one edge of the suction base to release the vacuum seal. Do not force the plate off the surface without releasing the suction.

Maintenance and Care
- Cleaning: The Aidapt Large Scoop Plate is dishwasher safe. For manual cleaning, wash with warm water and a mild detergent, then rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow the plate to air dry completely or dry with a soft cloth.
- Storage: Store the plate in a clean, dry place when not in use.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can damage the plate's surface.
- Inspection: Regularly inspect the plate and suction base for any signs of wear or damage. Discontinue use if any damage is observed.
Troubleshooting
- Issue: The plate does not suction properly to the surface.
Solution: Ensure both the bottom of the plate's suction base and the table surface are completely clean, dry, and free of any food particles or liquids. Press down firmly on the plate to create a strong vacuum seal. The plate works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces. - Issue: Food is difficult to scoop despite the raised lip.
Solution: Try adjusting the angle of your utensil or the position of the food on the plate. Ensure you are using the curved lip as intended to push food onto the utensil.
