Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Hygiplas container, ensure you have acquired a compatible lid from the HY4 series (HY407, HY410, HY413, HY416, HY419, HY422, or HY425). When stacking, ensure the containers are placed on level shelving to maintain stability. For care, it is recommended to wash the containers with mild detergent and a soft sponge to preserve the integrity of the plastic surface. Avoid using abrasive scouring pads, which can create micro-scratches where food residue may harbor bacteria. If using in a freezer, allow for slight head-space at the top of the container if storing liquids, as contents may expand during the freezing process.
