Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up your Cirqula container requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately. For initial hygiene, wash all parts in warm, soapy water or the dishwasher before the first use. To ensure the longest product life, always hand-wash the lid if possible, though it is dishwasher safe.
When using the container in the microwave, ensure the lid is completely removed. Avoid using abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals, as these can scratch the surface and diminish the clarity of the viewing window. The containers are designed to be stacked, but ensure they are clean and dry before nesting to prevent moisture buildup.
