Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the Cambro FreshPro, ensure you have acquired the corresponding Cambro Easy-Seal Cover (model CU143), as the container does not come with a lid. Simply press the lid firmly onto the top rim until you hear a seal. For maintenance, these containers are dishwasher safe; however, for maximum longevity, avoid using abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the surface. While the material is resistant to common kitchen stains, avoid long-term contact with extremely high-pigment items like concentrated turmeric or beet juice if you wish to maintain perfect clarity, as these can eventually cause surface discoloration over many years of heavy use.
