3. Operating Instructions
These containers are designed for efficient food storage and transport.
3.1 Sealing the Container
- Fill: Place food into the container, ensuring not to overfill. Leave a small space between the food and the rim of the container.
- Position Lid: Place the lid onto the container, aligning it properly.
- Seal: Press down firmly on the center of the lid, then work your way around the edges with your thumbs to create a complete air and liquid-tight seal. You should hear a slight "click" or feel the seal engage.
3.2 Opening the Container
To open, locate the small tab on the edge of the lid. Lift this tab gently but firmly to break the seal, then lift the lid off.
3.3 Carrying and Storage
- The liquid-tight seal makes these containers ideal for carrying curries, dal, or yogurt without spills.
- For refrigerator storage, ensure the lids are properly sealed to maintain freshness.
- When not in use, the bowls can be stacked easily to save storage space.

4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Tupperware containers.
- Cleaning: These containers are dishwasher safe. For hand washing, use warm water and mild dish soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the plastic.
- Drying: Ensure containers and lids are completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
- Stain Prevention: To minimize staining from tomato-based sauces or other colorful foods, rinse containers immediately after use. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left for a few hours before washing.
- Temperature: These containers are refrigerator safe. DO NOT use them in the microwave or freezer, as this can damage the plastic and compromise the seal.
- Storage: Store containers with lids slightly ajar or separately to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
