Setup
Before first use, wash all glass containers and plastic lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. Ensure all components are completely dry before storing or using.
Verify that the blue silicone sealing rings are properly seated within the grooves of each lid. A correctly installed ring is crucial for maintaining the leak-proof seal.

Operating Instructions
Food Storage
Place food items into the glass base. Align the plastic lid over the container and press down firmly to engage the four locking tabs on all sides. The silicone ring creates an airtight, leak-proof seal, keeping food fresh for extended periods.

Heating and Cooking
- Oven Use: The glass base is oven-safe up to 450°F (232°C). Remove the plastic lid before placing the glass base in the oven.
- Microwave Use: The glass base is microwave-safe. The plastic lid is NOT microwave-safe. When microwaving, either remove the lid completely or place it loosely on top to allow steam to escape.
Freezing
Both the glass base and the plastic lid are freezer-safe. Ensure contents are cooled before freezing to prevent thermal shock to the glass.
Maintenance
Cleaning
The glass bases are dishwasher-safe. The plastic lids are dishwasher-safe on the top rack only. For best results and to prolong the life of the silicone seal, hand washing the lids is recommended. The non-porous glass base resists stains and odors, making cleaning easy.
General Care
Avoid subjecting the glass base to extreme temperature changes, such as moving directly from a hot oven to cold water, as this may cause breakage. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on either the glass or plastic components.

Troubleshooting
Lid Not Sealing Properly
If you experience difficulty with the lid sealing or if it pops open, ensure the blue silicone sealing ring is correctly installed. Sometimes, flipping the silicone ring over and re-seating it firmly into the lid's groove can resolve sealing issues. Check for any food debris or damage that might prevent a proper seal.
