Operating Instructions
Sealing the Lids (The "Burp" Method)
To ensure an airtight seal, follow these steps:
- Place the lid on the container, aligning it properly.
- Press down firmly on the center of the lid with your thumb.
- While maintaining pressure on the center, run your fingers around the rim of the lid to secure it completely.
- A slight "burp" sound may indicate that excess air has been expelled, creating a vacuum seal.

BPA-Free Material

Microwave Use
The containers are microwaveable. When microwaving, ensure the lid is not fully sealed to allow steam to escape.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty Sealing Lids
If lids are difficult to seal, ensure the container and lid are clean and dry. Sometimes, warming the lid slightly with warm water can make it more pliable. Always use the center-press "burp" method for optimal sealing.

Stains or Odors
Certain foods may cause staining or retain odors. To minimize this, rinse containers immediately after use. For stubborn stains or odors, a paste of baking soda and water can be applied and left to sit before washing.
