[or 22.2°C] below that of surrounding air). It is recommended that items to be placed in the cooler be pre-
chilled. This will assist the cooler in reaching the lowest temperature as quickly as possible.

of the surrounding air.

Observe common sense hygiene rules, as with any cooling unit.
Do not eat or drink perishable items that may have spoiled or become contaminated from lack of proper
temperature control.
Using the Travel Cooler and Warmer as a Warmer
1. Make sure the unit’s HOT/OFF/COLD switch is in the OFF position. Start vehicle, or turn ignition to
“accessory” position.
2. Insert the DC plug into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
3. Move the HOT/OFF/COLD switch on the cooler to the HOT position.
4. The HOT LED indicator will light to show that the unit is warming.
5. Put items into the warmer and close the lid. Do not overstuff the warmer or keep the lid from closing. The
unit’s warming system is monitored by an automatic switch that turns the heating system on, then off when
the maximum temperature is reached and back on when the temperature drops.
6. Keep warmer lid closed during operation, and reclose it quickly when adding or removing items.
7. After use, turn the switch to the OFF position. Remove any food items.
8. Disconnect the power cord from the vehicle’s accessory outlet.
9. Clean unit as described in the Care & Maintenance section of this manual.
IMPORTANT:
• Food will stay warm for some time after the unit is disconnected or turned off.
• The warmer is intended to maintain the temperature of pre-heated food and beverages; it is not designed to
warm cold items.
• The warmer takes about 120-200 minutes to reach its maximum warm temperature (approx. 120°F [48.8°C]).
It is recommended that items to be stored in the warmer be pre-heated. This will assist the warmer in reaching
the maximum temperature as quickly as possible.
CAUTION: TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY:
Observe common sense hygiene rules, as with any warming unit.
Do not eat or drink perishable items that may have spoiled or become contaminated.
