Troubleshooting

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your LocknLock container, always inspect the silicone seal for debris after washing. When placing the container in the dishwasher, stick to the top rack to avoid extreme heat cycles that might compromise the plastic structure. While the container is freezer safe, allow hot foods to cool to room temperature before securing the lid to prevent air condensation and potential icing. Avoid using abrasive sponges or scouring pads when washing to maintain the transparency and scratch-free surface of the container walls.
