FAQs
Is the silicone seal dishwasher safe?
Yes, the silicone seal is dishwasher safe, but it is recommended to wash it on the top rack. For best results and longevity, handwashing is advised.
Can I microwave food in this container with the lid on?

Troubleshooting
Lid does not seal properly
Ensure the silicone seal is clean, dry, and correctly seated in the lid's groove. Check that all four locking tabs are fully engaged.
Container retains odors
Remove the silicone seal and wash separately. Soak the container in a solution of water and vinegar or baking soda for a few hours, then wash thoroughly.
Container is difficult to open/close
Ensure the seal is clean and free of food debris. Check for any warping of the lid or container. If the issue persists, the seal might need replacement.
