FAQs
Is the material BPA-free?
Yes, Lock & Lock uses high-quality, food-safe, and BPA-free materials for their storage containers.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
It is recommended to hand-wash the container to preserve the clarity of the plastic and the integrity of the silicone seal.
Does it fit a standard box of cereal?
Yes, with a 3.9L capacity, it is designed to hold most standard-sized cereal boxes comfortably.
Is the container freezer safe?
While it is designed for pantry storage, the material is durable, but extreme cold can make plastic brittle; it is best reserved for room-temperature dry goods.
Does the seal prevent ants or pests?
The airtight and watertight design provides an excellent barrier against household pests.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to remove
The seal is very tight by design. Try pulling up from one corner of the lid rather than lifting from the center.
Flip-top lid does not close securely
Check the hinge for any trapped debris or cereal crumbs and ensure the locking tab is clear of obstructions.
Visible condensation inside the container
Ensure the container was completely dry before filling, as residual water can cause fogging or moisture build-up.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the dispenser is straightforward: ensure the unit is clean and dry before the first use. To fill, remove the main lid entirely, pour in your chosen dry goods, and press the lid firmly back onto the body to engage the vacuum-like seal. For the flip-top pouring spout, snap it open when ready to serve and press down firmly until you hear a click to re-seal. To maintain the life of the product, hand-wash with mild soap and warm water; avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the clear plastic. Always allow the interior to dry completely before refilling to prevent moisture from compromising the freshness of your food.
