The Lock & Lock Rectangular Storage Container requires no assembly. It is ready for use directly out of the packaging. Ensure the silicone seal is properly seated within the lid's groove before closing for optimal sealing.
Compatibility:
- Freezer: Safe for use in standard home freezers.
- Microwave: Safe for reheating food. *Important: Do not use for cooking. Remove lid before microwaving if there is a risk of steam build-up.* Ensure microwave-safe standards are met by the food contents.
- Dishwasher: Top-rack dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
- Not Oven Safe: This container is not designed for use in ovens.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wash by hand with warm, soapy water or place on the top rack of your dishwasher. For manual washing, use a soft sponge and mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before storing.
- Seal Maintenance: Periodically check the silicone seal for any damage or food residue. Clean the seal gently and ensure it is properly reinserted into the lid's channel. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing pads that could damage the seal or the container.
- Storage: Store the container with the lid slightly ajar or separate to allow air circulation and prevent odors from building up, especially if stored for extended periods.
