♦
For even better even heating and to reduce heat up time, we recommend stirring the
contents every 30 minutes or so. This is not required and is only a suggestion for best
heating results.
♦
Once the food has reached your desired temperature, first unplug the unit and then
you are ready to enjoy your meal directly from your Lunch Box!
♦
PLEASE NOTE: You may notice the silicone rise slightly on the bottom interior of the
base after heating; this is normal due to the craftsmanship of the unit and does not
affect the functionality or safety of the unit itself.
♦
Always let the Lunch Box cool completely before collapsing or storing.
How to Heat
♦
To begin heating your food, you will need to plug the adaptor into the lunch box. First,
open the silicone cover to do so.
♦
Once the adaptor is connected to the Lunch Box, plug the cord into a compatible
outlet (see Compatibility section for requirements). Once the unit is plugged in, the
ON Light will be lit.
Your Sauce Cup
♦
On the top of the lid there is a sauce cup for dressing, butter, and more!
♦
Your sauce cup will also heat up slightly when heating your food.
♦
To open the silicone lid press one side inwards slightly and then pull the handle up on
the silicone lid. Please note, removing the sauce cup lid may be slightly tough the first
few times.
♦
To place the lid onto the sauce cup simply press into place.
Your Spork & Spork Case
♦
Your included Spork comes with it’s own carrying case and storing area on top of the
lid . To use the Spork, simply remove the spork case from the lid and pop the spork
out of the case. To replace, simply reverse the steps we listed to remove the spork
&case.
♦
The Spork is a multi-use utensil that includes a serrated edge (knife), spoon and a fork.
Getting Started
♦
Before using, remove any labels and wash and dry each item in accordance with the
care and use instructions.
Compatibility
♦
The Cook’s Companion® Heated Lunch Box requires a voltage of 120V or 45W, please
make sure your outlet is compatible before using your product.
♦
The included cord should not be used with any other device besides your Heated
Electric Lunch Box.
Using Your Heated Electric Lunch Box
♦
Your Lunch Box can be used to package cold meals, as well as food that needs
reheating. Your Lunch Box is not intended to be used with uncooked food.
♦
Do not place the base into the fridge or freezer, as there are electrical components
that could be damaged.
♦
To expand the Lunch Box, simply press down on the inside corners of the base until
the base is completely expanded/open.
♦
To begin using the Lunch Box, first place your food into the base. If you are planning
on heating the food, we recommend only filling to about a ½ inch from the top, this
makes stirring and reheating much easier. Do not overfill the container, especially
when filling with liquid or soft food.
♦
Once your food is in the base, line up the lid and secure the latches by pressing each
latch down until it clicks and is secured to the base.
♦
Once the lid is secured you are ready to bring the lunch box to work, school, etc.!
Your Lunch Box also has 2 built in handles on the lid portion. Always ensure the lid is
fully secured before using the handles and use caution when transferring food,
especially when hot.
♦
Your Lunch Box uses a “Slow and Low” style of reheating. Most foods will take about
1 hour to fully heat up, so we recommend plugging in the Lunch Box well in advance
to ensure your food is properly heated.
♦
We do not recommend leaving the unit plugged in for longer than 5-6 hours at a
time.
♦
To close the Lunch Box, first empty out all of the food contents and wipe the interior
of the base (or see cleaning section of this booklet). Then, press the corners on the
exterior of the base inwards until the base is fully collapsed.
