3. Setup

Before initial use, wash all containers and lids with warm, soapy water or place them in the dishwasher. Ensure they are completely dry before storing food.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1 Sealing and Unsealing

1. Place the lid squarely on top of the container.
2. Press down firmly on the center of the lid to create a vacuum seal.
3. Engage all four hinges by snapping them down onto the container base until you hear a click. This ensures an airtight and leakproof seal.
4. To unseal, lift the four hinges upwards, then gently lift the lid from the container.

4.2 Microwave Use

• Containers are microwave safe for reheating purposes only, not for cooking.
• Always remove the lid before microwaving.
• Reheat food for a maximum of 5 minutes.
• Ensure the microwave power is under 700 Watts.
• The container should be at least half-full when microwaving.
• Refer to your microwave's instruction manual for specific guidelines.

4.3 Freezer Use

• Containers are freezer safe. Place food in the container, seal the lid, and store in the freezer.
• Allow frozen contents to thaw partially before attempting to open the lid to prevent damage.

4.4 Storage and Organization

• The containers are designed to stack efficiently, saving space in your pantry or refrigerator.
• Lids can be stacked separately or kept on their respective containers for easy matching.

5. Maintenance & Care

5.1 Cleaning

• All containers and lids are dishwasher safe. For best results, place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
• Hand washing with warm, soapy water is also effective.
• The containers are designed to resist stains, but immediate cleaning after use with highly pigmented foods (e.g., tomato sauce) is recommended to prevent potential discoloration.

6. Troubleshooting

6.1 Leakage

• If leakage occurs, ensure the lid is correctly aligned with the container and all four snap-lock hinges are fully engaged.
• Check the silicone gasket around the lid for any debris or damage that might compromise the seal. Clean or adjust as necessary.

6.2 Staining

• While containers are stain-resistant, strong pigments from foods like tomato sauce, turmeric, or curry may cause discoloration over time if not cleaned promptly.
• To minimize staining, rinse containers immediately after use and wash thoroughly. Exposure to sunlight can sometimes help reduce existing stains.
