4. Operating Instructions (Usage)

These Pyrex replacement lids are designed for convenient food storage and reheating. Follow these guidelines for optimal use:

• Applying the Lid: Place the lid firmly onto the rim of the compatible Pyrex glass bowl. Press down around the edges to create a secure seal.
• Refrigeration and Freezing: The lids are safe for storing food in both the refrigerator and freezer. Ensure the lid is properly sealed before placing the bowl in cold storage.
• Microwave Use: The lids can be used in the microwave for reheating food. To allow steam to escape and prevent pressure buildup, slightly vent the lid by lifting one edge before microwaving. Avoid using the lid in conventional ovens or under broiler settings.
• Food Storage: The non-porous plastic helps resist food odors, flavors, and stains, keeping your stored food fresh.

5. Maintenance and Care

Proper care will extend the life of your Pyrex replacement lids:

• Dishwasher Safe: These lids are safe for cleaning in the dishwasher. For best results and to prevent warping, place them on the top rack only.
• Hand Washing: If hand washing, use warm, soapy water and a soft sponge or cloth. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
• Avoid Harsh Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch or damage the plastic.
• Stain Prevention: While resistant, certain foods (e.g., tomato-based sauces) may cause staining over time. Prompt cleaning after use can help minimize this.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Pyrex replacement lids, consider the following:

• Lid Does Not Fit: Double-check the model number on the bottom of your glass bowl. Ensure it is either "7402" or "7203". These lids are not universal and will not fit other Pyrex models or other brands.
• Lid Feels Loose or Too Tight: A new lid may feel slightly tight initially. With regular use, the plastic may adapt. Ensure the bowl rim is clean and free of food debris before applying the lid.
• Lid Warping: To prevent warping, always place the lid on the top rack of the dishwasher. Avoid exposing the lid to direct high heat, such as conventional ovens or stovetops.
• Stains or Odors: While resistant, some strong foods can leave residual stains or odors. Try soaking the lid in a solution of warm water and baking soda, or a mild bleach solution (rinse thoroughly afterward).
