Troubleshooting

Container lid is difficult to close or seal.

Ensure no food particles are trapped in the gasket or locking clips. Wipe the gasket and rim clean and dry. Check that the container is not overfilled.

Food still seems stale or not fresh.

Verify that the side-locking clips are fully engaged and creating a tight seal. Ensure the silicone gasket is clean, properly seated, and undamaged. Confirm the container is not used for liquids or moist ingredients.

Date dial is stiff or won't turn.

Gently try to rotate the dial. If still stiff, a small amount of food-grade lubricant (like vegetable oil) on the central pivot point might help, but ensure it's wiped clean afterward. Avoid forcing it.

Container retains odours.

Wash thoroughly with warm, soapy water. For persistent odours, try a solution of baking soda and water left to soak for a few hours, then rinse and dry completely.
