IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS
The
Black & Decker
®
®
Travel Cooler/Freezer
™
™
& Warmer
cools like a refrigerator and
warms like an oven. For best performance, plug in the unit approximately 2 hours before
loading to give it time to warm up or cool down. Always try to fill your unit with pre-
chilled or pre-heated food or beverages, as the unit will always perform at its best when
you do this.
Generally, your unit will cool down to as much as 50°F below the ambient temperature. To
ensure optimum performance, always keep the unit out of direct sunlight when using as a
cooler/freezer. To promote your unit’s cooling capacity on warm days, try reusable frozen
ice packets.
When using the unit as a warmer, it will warm to approximately 120°F. On cold days, the
unit will need more time to reach the maximum warm temperature.
These are particularly helpful in keeping your unit cold while unplugged. Contact Technical
Support at (800) 544-6986 for further information.
