2. Setup and First Use
Before first use, it is recommended to wash the containers thoroughly. Although the product description states "Microwave Safe" for product care instructions, it also states "Is Dishwasher Safe: No" in specifications. For optimal longevity and to maintain the integrity of the seal, hand washing is recommended.
- Unpack: Carefully remove the containers from their packaging.
- Wash: Wash the containers and lids with warm, soapy water. Use a soft sponge or cloth to avoid scratching.
- Rinse: Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
- Dry: Allow all parts to air dry completely or dry with a clean towel before storing or using.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Sealing the Container
To ensure a virtually airtight seal, follow these steps:
- Fill: Place your food item inside the container, ensuring not to overfill. Leave some space between the food and the rim of the container.
- Position Lid: Place the lid squarely on top of the container.
- Press Down: Press down firmly on the center of the lid with the palm of your hand.
- Seal Edges: Work your thumbs around the edges of the lid, pressing down to ensure the seal is fully engaged around the entire perimeter. You may hear a slight "burp" sound as air is expelled, indicating a good seal.
3.2 Stacking Containers
These containers are designed for easy and stable stacking to save space.
- Ensure the bottom container is properly sealed.
- Place another sealed container directly on top of the lid of the first container. The design allows for stable stacking.
4. Maintenance and Care
4.1 Cleaning
To maintain the quality and longevity of your Tupperware Smart Saver containers:
- Hand Wash Only: These containers are not dishwasher safe. Wash by hand with warm water and mild dish soap.
- Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface and compromise the clear windows.
- Stain Removal: For stubborn food stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the stain, let it sit for a few hours, then wash as usual.
- Odor Removal: To remove odors, place crumpled newspaper inside the container for a day or two, or wash with a mixture of water and white vinegar.
4.2 Microwave Use
The containers are microwave safe. When microwaving:
- Always remove the lid or leave it ajar to allow steam to escape.
- Use for reheating purposes only, not for cooking.
- Avoid heating foods high in sugar or fat, as they can reach very high temperatures and potentially damage the container.
4.3 Storage
Store containers with lids off or slightly ajar to prevent odors from building up. They can be nested or stacked for compact storage.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lid does not seal properly. | Container or lid is wet; food is overfilling; lid is not aligned correctly; seal is damaged. | Ensure all parts are dry before sealing. Do not overfill. Align lid squarely and press firmly around all edges. Inspect lid for damage; if damaged, replace. |
| Food does not stay fresh. | Lid not sealed correctly; container is not suitable for specific food type; container is damaged. | Verify the lid is fully sealed. Ensure the food item is appropriate for airtight storage. Check for cracks or damage to the container. |
| Stains or odors persist. | Strongly colored or odorous foods; improper cleaning. | Refer to "4.1 Cleaning" for stain and odor removal tips. Ensure prompt cleaning after use. |
