Troubleshooting
Lid feels difficult to clip shut
Check that the rubber sealing ring is correctly pushed into the lid groove and not pinched or twisted.
Food odors persist after washing
Soak the base and lid in a mixture of warm water and a small amount of vinegar, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
Divider keeps slipping during transport
Ensure the divider is firmly pushed to the bottom of the container and that the food items are packed tightly enough to provide friction against the walls.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mepal lunchbox, always verify that the rubber sealing ring is properly seated within the groove of the lid after every wash. To clean, simply open the clips and remove the lid, then place both the base and lid on the top rack of your dishwasher. While the container is durable, avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads, as these may scratch the surface. Ensure the container is completely dry before sealing for long periods to prevent moisture buildup.
