6. Troubleshooting
| Issue | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lids not sealing tightly | Overfilling compartments; improper lid alignment; lid warping from high heat. | Ensure compartments are not overfilled. Align lid carefully and press down firmly on all sides. If warping occurs, consider hand washing or using top rack only in dishwasher. |
| Food becoming stale | Lid not properly sealed; prolonged storage. | Always ensure the lid is securely fastened. For optimal freshness, consume food within recommended storage times. |
| Container damage (cracks, breaks) | Excessive force during opening/closing; dropping; extreme temperature changes. | Handle with care. Avoid using sharp objects. While durable, plastic can break under extreme stress. |
