How to Reactivate the Silica Gel

Oven Method

1. Remove the silica gel from all plastic packaging and sachets.
2. Spread the granules evenly over a clean oven tray reserved for non-food use only.
3. Heat in a ventilated oven at 100–120°C.
4. Dry for approximately 2 hours.
5. Allow the granules to cool completely before handling or returning them to storage containers.

Microwave Method

1. Place the loose granules in a suitable microwave-safe container reserved for non-food use.
2. Set the microwave to the defrost or low-power setting.
3. Heat in short intervals for a total of approximately 10–15 minutes.
4. Check and carefully stir the granules between intervals to prevent overheating.
5. Allow them to cool fully before reuse.

Safety: The granules and container may become very hot during reactivation. Use suitable heat-resistant gloves. Do not overheat, ingest or allow contact with food. Keep away from children and pets. Ensure the granules are completely cool before sealing them inside packaging.
