Operating Instructions
The Bentgo Modern lunch box features a versatile design with 3 to 4 compartments. The main food tray has fixed compartments, and a removable divider allows you to create an additional section, adjusting the portion sizes to your needs.
To pack your lunch:
- Place the removable food tray into the outer shell.
- If desired, insert the adjustable divider into the main compartment to create a fourth section.
- Fill each compartment with your desired food items. The leak-resistant lid with a silicone seal ensures that food stays in its designated section and prevents spills.
- Secure the lid by aligning it with the outer shell and pressing down firmly until the metallic locking clip engages.

Maintenance & Care
Proper care ensures the longevity of your Bentgo Modern lunch box.
Cleaning:
- The removable food tray is dishwasher-safe (top rack only). For best results and to prolong the life of the silicone seal, hand-washing is recommended.
- The outer shell should be hand-washed with warm, soapy water. Do not place the outer shell in the dishwasher or microwave.
- Ensure all components are completely dry before reassembling and storing to prevent mold or odors.
Microwave Use:
- Only the removable food tray is microwave-safe. Remove the lid and outer shell before microwaving. Heat food in the tray for short durations (e.g., 3 minutes at a time) to avoid warping.
Storage:
- The Bentgo Modern is designed for convenient storage. Ensure the box is clean and dry before storing.

Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your Bentgo Modern lunch box, please refer to the common solutions below:
Leaking:
- Ensure the lid is properly aligned and the metallic locking clip is fully engaged. The silicone seal on the lid must make full contact with the food tray compartments.
- Avoid overfilling compartments, especially with liquids.
Stains or Odors:
- For stubborn stains or odors, create a paste with baking soda and water, apply it to the affected area, and let it sit overnight before washing thoroughly.
- Ensure the silicone seal is regularly cleaned to prevent food particle buildup.
Hinge Issues:
- While the Bentgo Modern features improved metal hinges for durability, avoid excessive force when opening or closing the lid. If hinges become stiff, ensure they are clean and free of debris.
