Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the containers and lids from their packaging.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all parts of the containers and lids thoroughly. They are dishwasher safe (top rack recommended) or can be hand-washed with warm, soapy water. Ensure they are completely dry before use.
- Freezing Preparation: For optimal performance, ensure your homemade ice cream mixture is properly chilled before transferring it to the containers.
Operating Instructions
- Filling the Container: Pour or spoon your freshly made ice cream into the container. Each container holds 1.5 quarts (48 fluid ounces).
- Sealing the Lid: Place the silicone lid firmly onto the container. The airtight seal helps protect against freezer burn and maintains freshness.
- Labeling: Utilize the erasable label area on the lid to mark the flavor and date of your ice cream. Use a dry-erase marker for easy changes or a permanent marker (which can be removed with alcohol or hand sanitizer for re-labeling).
- Freezing: Place the sealed container in your freezer. The rectangular, slim design allows for efficient storage, fitting well in freezer doors or stacked.
- Scooping: The long and slim design of the container facilitates easy scooping, allowing for perfect, consistent scoops from end to end.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Both the containers and lids are dishwasher safe. For best results and to prolong product life, place them on the top rack of your dishwasher. Alternatively, hand wash with warm, soapy water.
- Drying: Ensure all components are completely dry before storing or refilling to prevent ice crystal formation.
- Label Care: If using a permanent marker on the erasable label, remove it with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer. For dry-erase markers, simply wipe clean.

Troubleshooting
- Freezer Burn: Ensure the lid is securely and tightly sealed to prevent air exposure, which causes freezer burn. The insulated design also aids in protection.
- Difficulty Scooping: If ice cream is too hard, allow it to temper at room temperature for a few minutes before scooping. The container's long, slim shape is designed to make scooping easier once tempered.
- Container Cracking: SUMO containers are made from durable, high-quality plastic designed to withstand freezer temperatures. Avoid extreme temperature shocks (e.g., pouring boiling water into a frozen container) to prevent potential damage.
