2.2 Initial Cleaning

• Before first use, wash the jar and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
• Rinse completely and allow to air dry, or dry with a soft cloth.

2.3 Assembly

• No assembly is required for this product. The jar is ready for use after cleaning.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Filling the Jar

• Remove the lid from the storage jar.
• Place your desired dry food items (e.g., pasta, coffee, sugar, cereal) into the jar.

4. Maintenance and Care

4.1 Cleaning

• The BODUM Storage Jar and its lid are dishwasher safe.
• For hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Ensure all parts are thoroughly rinsed and dried before reassembly or storage to prevent water spots or residue buildup.

4.2 Microwave Use

• The jar is microwave safe. However, always remove the lid before placing the jar in the microwave to allow steam to escape.
• Exercise caution when handling the jar after microwaving, as contents may be hot.

4.3 Storage

• Store the jar in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Lid Not Sealing Properly

• Check the Seal: Ensure the rubber gasket on the lid is clean and properly seated. Food debris or misalignment can prevent an airtight seal.
• Apply Firm Pressure: Press down firmly and evenly on the lid until the air is expelled and a vacuum is created.

5.2 Difficulty Opening the Jar

• Release Vacuum: If the seal is very tight, gently pry up one edge of the lid to allow air to enter and break the vacuum.

5.3 Cloudiness or Stains After Washing

• Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is rinsed off.
• Avoid Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the plastic surface.
