Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to close or does not seal properly
Ensure the silicone seal is clean, dry, and correctly seated in the groove of the lid. Check that there are no food particles obstructing the seal. Ensure all four locking hinges are fully engaged.
Container or lid appears warped after microwaving
The containers are designed for reheating only, not for cooking. Overheating or using high power settings can cause warping. Ensure food is stirred and reheated in short intervals.
Container retains odors after washing
Wash immediately after use. For stubborn odors, try soaking the container in a mixture of baking soda and water, or a diluted vinegar solution, before washing as usual. Ensure the silicone seal is thoroughly cleaned.
Container is stained by strong colored foods (e.g., tomato sauce)
While resistant, some staining may occur with prolonged contact. Wash as soon as possible after use. Soaking in a mild bleach solution or using a paste of baking soda and water can help reduce stains.
