FAQs
Are these containers truly leak-proof?
The lids are designed to be leak-resistant, which is effective for most everyday uses like transporting lunches. For extremely liquid items or long periods, extra care in sealing the lid is recommended.
Can I use these containers in the oven?
No, these containers are not oven-safe. They are designed for use in microwaves, freezers, and dishwashers only.
How do I prevent my containers from retaining odors?
Wash the containers immediately after use. If odors persist, try soaking them in a mixture of vinegar and water or baking soda and water before washing.
What is the warranty period for Sistema products?
Sistema typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the product packaging or the official Sistema website for specific warranty details.
Are the lids interchangeable between the 1.25L and 1.3L containers?
While both are part of the set, the lids are designed for their specific container sizes (1.25L for the lunch box, 1.3L for the round dish). They may not fit interchangeably.
Can I microwave food with the lid on?
Yes, but it is crucial to vent the lid by lifting a corner or opening the vent tab if present. This allows steam to escape, preventing pressure buildup and potential damage to the container or lid.
Troubleshooting
Lid is difficult to close or open
Ensure the container and lid are clean and dry. Align the lid precisely with the container rim before pressing down. If stiff, try flexing the lid slightly.
Container is stained
Try soaking the container in a solution of warm water and baking soda or a mild bleach solution (use with caution and rinse thoroughly). Avoid abrasive scrubbers.
Food is reheating unevenly
Stir food halfway through reheating and ensure the lid is vented or removed to allow steam circulation. Distribute food evenly within the container.
Container appears warped after microwaving
This can occur with prolonged or excessive heating, especially with oily or sugary foods. Always vent the lid and avoid overheating. Allow the container to cool completely before handling.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Sistema Microwave Set requires no assembly. Simply unpack the containers and their lids. Ensure lids are aligned correctly with the base before pressing down firmly to secure them.

Care Instructions: To maintain the longevity and performance of your containers:
- Cleaning: Wash by hand with warm soapy water or place them on the top rack of your dishwasher.
- Microwave Use: Vent the lid slightly or remove it completely before microwaving to allow steam to escape. Avoid overheating, especially with fatty or sugary foods, as this can cause the plastic to melt or deform.
- Freezer Use: Ensure lids are securely fastened before placing in the freezer to prevent freezer burn.
- Staining: For stubborn stains, create a paste of baking soda and water, apply it to the stained area, let it sit for a few hours, then wash as usual. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can scratch the plastic.
