Initial Cleaning

Before first use, it is recommended to clean the canisters, especially if they will be used for sensitive materials or food items.

1. Wash each canister and lid with mild soap and lukewarm water.
2. Rinse thoroughly with clean water to remove all soap residue.
3. Allow the canisters and lids to air dry completely before use to prevent moisture contamination.

Operating Instructions

These canisters are designed for simple and effective storage.

Filling the Canister

1. Remove the lid by gently pulling it upwards.
2. Place the desired contents into the canister. Ensure contents do not exceed the canister's capacity, leaving enough space for the lid to seal properly.

Opening the Canister

Maintenance and Care

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and effectiveness of your EISCO Empty Film Canisters.

• Cleaning: Hand wash with mild soap and water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers, as these can scratch the polyethylene surface.
• Drying: Ensure canisters and lids are completely dry before storing or reusing to prevent mold or mildew, especially if storing organic materials.
• Storage: Store empty canisters in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures to prevent material degradation.
• Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not expose canisters to strong acids, bases, or solvents, as these can damage the high-density polyethylene.

Troubleshooting

Most issues with these simple canisters can be resolved with basic checks.

Lid Does Not Seal Tightly

• Check for Obstructions: Ensure no contents are protruding from the canister's rim, preventing the lid from seating properly.
• Lid Alignment: Verify the lid is correctly aligned with the canister's opening before pressing down.
• Damage Inspection: Inspect both the lid and the canister rim for any cracks, deformities, or damage that might compromise the seal. If damaged, replace the canister.

Canister is Difficult to Open

• Pull Straight Up: Ensure you are pulling the lid straight upwards rather than twisting.
• Grip: Use a firm grip on both the canister and the lid. If hands are wet, dry them for better traction.
