How do I Seal my Containers?

To Seal

valve on top of lid should be in down position when starting vacuum seal otherwise you are just transferring air in and out of container.

- Use ball of your palm (Like CPR) just under valve are - you do not need to press with all of your strength to create vacuum seal.

- Press until you hear no more noise coming out of container - it could be 2 times for small container or up to 10 times for very large container*.

- final step is to lock down handles**.

* you can also use your forearm to close any of containers - except small est container in each set. Simply leave blue valve cover in up position, lean onto lid with your forearm/elbow, close valve cover and m give it a couple of more pushes using palm of you hands (like CPR) until you no longer hear air coming out.

** Close handles on larger containers prior to taking air out.

 To Unseal

- Lift up on blue value cover and air will come back into container

- Unsnap handle from side of bowl and n you can remove lid. 

If container is not performing well re are a couple of thing to try to get container working again.

1) Sometimes white dial gets shifted and is no longer holding orange valve indicator in place. Lift valve cover up and push form underneath to remove valve and give it a clockwise twist - you should hear a clicking sound to indicate that it has been replaced properly. white dial is a date dial and to set date - just select correct day of month and clockwise twist dial to number. You can either set it for day you put your food in or day of food expiration.

2) Place lid of container that is not sealing in your kitchen sink with very hot water. Soak lid in hot water for about 10 minutes and carefully pull out lid. NOTE: Do not let lid dry off or cool down. While lid is still wet and hot place lid onto corresponding container and press lid until you can no longer hear noise from container. Remember, this could mean 2 times for a really small container or up to 10 times for large containers. Leave container sealed on your counter overnight.

This should achieve following:

A) Help rubber in seal that goes around perimeter of lid to soften and allow lid to mold itself to bowl. Once done this usually will solve any sealing problems

B) If the problem (Defective seal) seal will not hold overnight. Please call (952) 932-2993, Monday-Thursday 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM CST if seal will not hold and above mentioned solution has not been successful.

3) Occasional changes in air pressure, temperature or very long periods of storage can reduce vacuum pressure. If this occurs, simply reseal container.

4) Any Cracks or leaks in container base of lid will prevent vacuum sealing.
