1. Before first use, inspect the surface and drain holes for debris or cracks, then wash it thoroughly using methods suitable for a food-contact utensil.
2. Place the colander securely in a clean sink. Position the stable base so it will not wobble or have its holes blocked by the drain.
3. Rinse berries or vegetables in manageable batches instead of overfilling. Follow suitable running-water washing guidance for the particular produce.
4. Hold both handles while draining and gently shake away excess water. Take care with steam and scalding when emptying hot cooking water; check heat-use guidance for each specific utensil.
5. Remove food trapped in the holes and wash the colander. The manufacturer lists UPPFYLLD 205.219.47 as dishwasher-safe, but that does not apply to every plastic colander.
6. Drain and dry thoroughly before storing. Inspect any warping, cracks or sharp edges; stop using a damaged utensil for food preparation until it has been assessed or replaced.
