Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using the containers, place your food inside, secure the lid clips, and place the manual hand pump over the valve on the lid. Pump until you feel firm resistance, indicating that the air has been extracted. When storing, set the date dials to track your progress. For cleaning, remove the silicone sealing rings periodically to wash away any trapped moisture or food particles. Hand washing the lids is recommended to preserve the integrity of the date dial and vacuum valve, while the glass bases are generally dishwasher safe.
