Product Information
Full details
The VFM e-Store 1700ml Grey Food Container is designed for home cooks and organizers looking to maximize storage efficiency and maintain food freshness. Its standout benefit is the airtight, leakproof seal combined with a space-saving square geometry that makes stacking in pantries or refrigerators effortless. While it is highly durable for dry goods and meal prep, users should note that the 1700ml capacity requires a dedicated shelf height of at least 23cm to accommodate its vertical design.

FAQs
Are these containers dishwasher safe?
While durable, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the airtight seal over time.
Can I use these for hot liquids?
It is recommended to allow food or liquids to cool to room temperature before sealing to prevent a vacuum lock or potential deformation.
What are the exact dimensions?
The container measures approximately 10.2cm x 10.2cm x 22.8cm.
Is the material BPA-free?
Yes, the product is constructed from food-safe, high-quality materials.
Will these fit in a standard fridge door?
Due to the 10.2cm width, they may fit in deeper door shelves but are primarily designed for main refrigerator shelving.
Troubleshooting
Lid feels difficult to open
The airtight seal creates a vacuum. Gently pull the seal tab or lift from one corner to break the vacuum before pulling the lid off.
Leakage around the rim
Remove the silicone gasket and clean it to ensure no food particles are trapped, then re-insert firmly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your VFM e-Store container, consider the following:
- Cleaning: Wash with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads that might scratch the surface.
- Sealing: When closing, ensure the lid is pressed down firmly on all sides to engage the airtight mechanism. If you feel resistance, check the silicone seal for debris.
- Placement: Measure your shelf height before purchasing; at 22.8cm tall, ensure your cabinet clearance exceeds this measurement by at least 1cm for easy removal.
- Compatibility: The containers are designed for stackable use with other units of the same 10.2cm square base footprint.
