Setup & First Use
- Unpack: Remove all packaging materials and labels from the Bentgo Kids Snack box.
- Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all components of the lunch box. The inner tray is dishwasher safe (top rack recommended). The outer shell should be hand washed to preserve the seal.

Operating Instructions
Packing Snacks
- Utilize the two compartments to separate different types of snacks. The larger compartment holds 1 cup, and the smaller holds 1/2 cup.
- The leak-proof seal is effective for thicker consistency foods like yogurt or hummus. For very watery liquids, additional precautions may be necessary.
Sealing and Opening
- To close, align the lid with the base and press down firmly until the single latch clicks securely into place. This ensures the leak-proof seal is engaged.
- To open, simply unclip the single latch. The design allows for easy operation by young children.

Maintenance & Cleaning
Proper cleaning ensures the longevity and hygiene of your Bentgo Kids Snack box.
- Removable Tray: The inner tray is dishwasher safe (top rack recommended).
- Outer Shell & Lid: Hand washing is recommended for the outer shell and lid to maintain the integrity of the leak-proof seal over time. Use warm, soapy water and rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow all components to air dry completely before reassembling or storing to prevent moisture buildup.

Troubleshooting
- Leaking: Ensure the lid is properly aligned and the latch is securely closed. Check the silicone seal for any damage or food debris that might prevent a tight seal.
- Difficulty Opening/Closing: If the latch is stiff, ensure no food particles are obstructing the mechanism. For new boxes, the latch may require a few uses to loosen slightly.
- Food Odors/Stains: For persistent odors or stains, a baking soda paste can be applied and left overnight before washing. Ensure thorough rinsing.
