Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to close
Ensure no food particles are stuck on the rim or seal. Check that the intermediate lid is correctly seated before closing the main lid.
Leaking between containers
Verify that the intermediate lids with seals are properly attached and creating a tight seal. Ensure the containers are not overfilled.
Microwave heating is uneven
Stir food midway through reheating. Ensure lids are completely removed to allow steam to escape.
Discoloration of plastic
Some strong sauces or foods (like tomato-based sauces) can cause temporary discoloration. Wash immediately after use or consider using the small food container for such items.
