2. Setup and First Use

Before first use, wash all containers and lids thoroughly with warm, soapy water or in the dishwasher. Rinse and dry completely. Ensure the vent mechanism on each lid is clean and free of debris.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Reheating in the Microwave

• Place food in the container and secure the lid.
• Open the vent on the lid before placing the container in the microwave. This allows steam to escape, preventing pressure buildup and ensuring even reheating.
• The footed bases of the containers promote even reheating by allowing microwave energy to circulate around the container.
• Handles are designed to stay cool to the touch for safe removal from the microwave.
• Reheat food according to your microwave's instructions and food type.
• Important: These containers are designed for reheating, not prolonged cooking. Overheating certain foods may cause permanent blistering or staining. Check food when reheating for over 5 minutes.
• Allow 2-5 minutes at room temperature before microwaving for best results.

3.2 Freezing and Refrigeration

• The containers are freezer safe (down to -25°C / -13°F) and refrigerator safe.
• Ensure the vent is closed when storing food in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain an airtight seal.
• The containers are designed to be airtight, leakproof, and aroma-proof, keeping food fresh.
• They are stackable for efficient storage in your refrigerator or freezer.

4. Maintenance and Care

• All components of the Vent 'N Serve set are dishwasher safe. For best results, place on the top rack.
• Alternatively, wash by hand with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge.
• To prevent staining, especially from foods like tomato sauce, rinse containers immediately after use. If staining occurs, a bleach solution can be used for soaking, followed by thorough rinsing.
• Ensure lids and containers are completely dry before storing to prevent odors or mildew.

5. Troubleshooting

• Lids difficult to open or close: Ensure the container and lid are clean and dry. If containers are stacked tightly, try gently twisting or applying slight pressure to the edges to release any vacuum.
• Food not heating evenly: Always ensure the vent is open during microwave reheating. Stir food halfway through reheating if possible.
• Staining: As mentioned in Maintenance, some foods may cause staining. Prompt cleaning and occasional soaking in a diluted bleach solution can help.
