2. Safety Instructions

• Always ensure the lid's vent is open when microwaving to allow steam to escape.
• Do not use the container in a conventional oven, on a stovetop, or under a grill.
• Avoid overheating food, as this can damage the container and potentially cause burns.
• Use caution when removing the container from the microwave, as it may be hot.
• Keep out of reach of children when hot.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or scourers, as they can scratch the surface.

3. Setup and First Use

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the container from its packaging.
2. Inspect: Check the container and lid for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
3. Wash: Before first use, wash the container and lid thoroughly with warm soapy water. Rinse well and dry completely.

4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Filling and Sealing

• Fill the container with your desired food, ensuring not to overfill. Leave some space at the top for expansion during heating.
• Place the lid securely on the container. The clip-on lid design ensures a tight seal for storage and transport.

4.2. Microwave Use

1. Open Vent: Before placing the container in the microwave, ensure the pink vent on the lid is open. This allows steam to escape during heating, preventing pressure buildup.
2. Heating: Place the container in the microwave. Heat food according to recommended times and power levels for your specific food item and microwave wattage.
3. Stirring: For even heating, it is recommended to stir food halfway through the heating process, if applicable.
4. Removing: Use oven mitts or a cloth to carefully remove the hot container from the microwave.
5. Serving: Close the vent after heating if you wish to keep food warm for a short period, or open it fully to allow cooling before serving.

4.3. Storage and Transport

• Ensure the lid is securely closed and the vent is closed for airtight storage and leak-proof transport of food.
• The container is suitable for refrigeration and freezer storage.

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1. Cleaning

• Dishwasher Safe: The Tupperware Micro Gourmet Container is dishwasher safe. Place it on the top rack for best results.
• Hand Washing: For hand washing, use warm water and a mild dish soap. Use a soft sponge or cloth to clean. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
• Stains: To prevent stains, especially from tomato-based sauces or curries, rinse the container immediately after use. For stubborn stains, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left for a few hours before washing.

5.2. Storage

• Store the container and lid separately or with the lid loosely placed on top to allow air circulation and prevent odors.
• Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
