  1. Top Glass Surface: This is where you'll place your Silo containers for vacuum sealing. It's durable, and easy to wipe clean.
  2. Reservoir: Neatly tucked away, this removable component collects any accidental liquid overflow during the sealing process. You can learn how to empty it here.
  3. Front Interface: This panel houses all the buttons, the screen, microphones, and the light ring for controlling your Silo. We'll look at this in more detail below.
  4. Reset Button (Located at the right side): Used for specific troubleshooting steps like resetting Wi-Fi or performing a factory reset.
  5. Power Port (Located at the back): Connect your power cord here. Remember to secure the cord using the groove when stowing the device.
  6. Speakers (Located on the sides/back): Deliver audio feedback, Alexa responses, and notifications.
  7. Light Strip (Located on the back): This strip provides visual feedback, mirroring the Light Ring (5) functions, especially when the Silo base is in its stowed position.
