IMPORTANT SUGGESTIONS
The
Black & Decker
®
Travel Cooler & 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 36°F (or 2°C). To ensure optimum performance, always keep
the unit out of direct sunlight when using as a Cooler. To promote your unit’s cooling capacity on warm days, try
reusable frozen ice packets. These are particularly helpful in keeping your unit cold while unplugged.
