FAQs
How do I clean the lid mechanism?
The lid should be hand-washed with mild soap and warm water. Ensure the silicone ring is clean and properly seated. Avoid submerging the entire metal clip mechanism for long periods. Dry all components thoroughly before reassembling.
Can I use this jar in the dishwasher?
The glass jar component is generally dishwasher safe. However, it is recommended to hand wash the lid and silicone seal to maintain their integrity and ensure a proper seal over time. Prolonged dishwasher use may affect the finish of the lid.
What are the included seal colors for?
The jar includes four individual round seals: White, Orange, Clear, and Black. These are provided to help you easily organize and identify the contents of different jars by assigning a specific color to a type of food (e.g., orange for marmalade, clear for sauces).
Is the silicone seal replaceable?
Yes, the silicone seal is designed to be replaceable. If the current seal becomes worn, damaged, or loses its effectiveness, you can source a replacement to ensure the jar maintains its airtight properties.
What is the capacity of this jar?
This specific model has a capacity of 2 litres (2000ml).
Can I store hot liquids or foods in this jar?
This jar is designed for preserving and storing food items at room temperature. It is not intended for canning hot liquids or storing foods that require high-temperature processing, nor should it be used for freezing.
Does the jar come with multiple seals?

Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to clip shut.
Ensure the silicone seal is properly seated and free from obstructions. Check that the jar opening is clean and free of debris. Do not force the clip; try repositioning the lid.
Seal does not seem airtight.
Verify the silicone ring is correctly placed and undamaged. Ensure the rim of the jar is clean and free from chips. If the seal appears worn or brittle, consider replacing it.
Cloudiness on glass after washing.
This can occur with dishwasher use. Try hand washing with a mild detergent and drying thoroughly. A vinegar-based rinse can sometimes help remove cloudiness.
Orange smell/stain from the seal.
Some strong-smelling contents or prolonged contact might impart a slight color or odor to the seal. This is typically harmless. Thorough washing with mild soap should help. Consider using a different colored seal for strongly pigmented items if preferred.
