4. Operating Instructions
4.1 Sealing Lids
To ensure a leak-resistant seal, place the lid on the container and press down firmly in the center of the lid. This action expels air and creates a tight seal. You should hear a distinct "click" or feel the lid secure into place.

4.2 Food Storage
These containers are ideal for storing a variety of foods in the refrigerator or pantry. The leak-resistant seal helps maintain freshness and prevent spills. Note that these containers are not microwaveable. If reheating food, transfer contents to a microwave-safe dish.

5. Maintenance and Care
All components of the Tupperware Heritage Collection are dishwasher safe. For optimal longevity and to prevent warping, it is recommended to place containers and lids on the top rack of the dishwasher. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can scratch the plastic. Ensure containers are completely dry before stacking to prevent moisture buildup.
6. Troubleshooting
6.1 Lids are difficult to seal or do not fit properly.
New Tupperware lids can sometimes be stiff. To ease sealing, ensure the lid is correctly aligned with the container. Apply firm pressure to the center of the lid until it clicks into place, creating a vacuum seal. If lids are still difficult, try soaking them in warm water for a few minutes to increase flexibility before applying. Over time, with regular use and washing, the lids will become more pliable.
