several months, remove all food and unplug the power
cord and ePod Battery. Clean and dry the interior

Energy Saving Tips
●
The cooler should be located at the coolest area as much
as possible, away from heat producing appliances and out
of the direct sunlight.
●
Let hot foods cool down to room temperature before
placing in the unit. Overloading the unit forces the
compressor to run longer.
●
Be sure to wrap foods properly, and wipe containers dry
before placing them in the unit. This cuts down on frost
build-up inside the unit.
●
Organize and label food to quickly and conveniently
locate items and reduce duration and frequency of lid
openings.
Defrosting the Cooler
CAUTION
●
Never use hard or pointed tools to remove ice or to
loosen frozen objects, because which can damage the
inner surfaces of the compartment.
●
Do not empty the frost or water in the compartment by
turning the cooler over.
