4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Sealing and Unsealing Lids

The silicone-trimmed glass lids are designed to create a tight seal for optimal food preservation.

• To Seal: Place the lid squarely on the glass container. Press down firmly on the corners of the lid until it creates a secure seal. Ensure the silicone trim is properly aligned with the container rim.
• To Unseal: Locate the small tab on one corner of the silicone trim. Gently pull up on this tab to release the seal and lift the lid.

4.2 Usage Guidelines

• Oven Use: Glass containers are safe for preheated ovens. Do not use lids in the oven.
• Microwave Use: Both glass containers and lids are microwave safe. When microwaving with the lid on, ensure the tab is slightly lifted to vent steam.
• Refrigerator & Freezer Use: Containers are safe for refrigeration and freezing. When freezing liquids, leave adequate headspace for expansion.
• Dishwasher Use: Both containers and lids are dishwasher safe. Lids are recommended for the top rack.
• Food Compatibility: The non-porous glass resists stains and odors from various foods, including tomato-based sauces.

5. Care and Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wash containers and lids after each use. For best results, use a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Stain Removal (Silicone): While resistant, silicone can sometimes stain. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left for a few hours before washing.
• Storage: Store containers with lids loosely placed or stacked to prevent moisture buildup.
• Handling: As per product instructions, avoid hard knocks to prevent chipping or breakage of the glass.
• Temperature Changes: Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as placing a hot container directly into cold water or vice-versa, as this can cause thermal shock and breakage.

6. Troubleshooting

• Lid not sealing: Ensure the silicone trim is clean and properly seated around the glass lid. The container rim should also be clean and dry. Apply firm, even pressure around the lid's edges.
• Difficulty opening lid: If the seal is too tight, try gently lifting the tab on the corner to release some pressure before fully removing the lid.
• Glass breakage: Pyrex glass is durable but not unbreakable. Avoid dropping, sudden impacts, or extreme temperature changes. Discard any chipped or cracked glass immediately.
