Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove all containers and lids from their packaging.
2. Initial Cleaning: Before first use, wash all containers and lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and allow to air dry, or dry with a clean cloth.
3. Inspect: Check all components for any signs of damage. Do not use if any part is cracked or broken.

Operating Instructions

Filling the Container

• Fill the container with your desired food item. Leave a small amount of headspace (approximately 1/2 inch) for liquids or foods that expand during freezing.
• Ensure the rim of the container is clean and dry before applying the lid.

Attaching the Lid

1. Place the lid onto the container, aligning one corner first.
2. Press down firmly on the opposite corner, then work your way around the edges of the lid, pressing down to create a tight, leak-resistant seal. You should hear a slight click as the lid seals.
3. Note: Lids may be stiff initially. Applying pressure evenly around the edges helps create a secure seal.

Freezing and Stacking

• Place sealed containers in the freezer. The square shape allows for efficient stacking, maximizing freezer space.
• For best results, allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before placing them in the freezer.

Removing Food and Opening

• To remove frozen food, you may need to run the container under warm water briefly to loosen the contents.
• To open, lift one corner of the lid to break the seal, then peel the lid off.

Maintenance and Care

Cleaning

• These containers are dishwasher safe. Place them on the top rack of your dishwasher for best results.
• Alternatively, wash by hand with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or cloth.
• Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing to prevent odors or mildew.
• To remove stubborn stains or odors, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the stain, let sit for a few hours, then wash as usual.

Storage

• Store containers with lids removed or loosely placed to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
• Containers can be nested when empty for compact storage.

Troubleshooting

Lid is difficult to close or open

• Solution: New lids can be stiff. Try soaking the lid in warm water for a few minutes to make it more pliable. Ensure the container rim and lid are completely dry before attempting to seal. Apply pressure evenly around all four sides of the lid until it clicks into place.
• Solution: If opening, try lifting a corner first to release the vacuum seal, then peel off the lid.

Stains or odors in container

• Solution: Wash immediately after use. For stubborn issues, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply to the affected area, let it sit for several hours or overnight, then wash thoroughly.

Specifications

Safety Information
