USING THE TRAVEL COOLER/WARMER AS A WARMER
- Make sure that the unit’s COOL/WARM/OFF switch is in the OFF position. Start
vehicle, or turn ignition to “accessory” position.
- Insert the DC plug into the vehicle’s 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
- Move the COOL/WARM/OFF switch on the cooler to the WARM position.
- The LED WARM indicator will light (RED light) to show that the unit is warming.
- Put items into the warmer and close the lid. Do not overstuff the warmer. The
unit’s warming system is monitored by an automatic switch that turns the
heating system on and off when excessively high temperatures are reached.
- Keep warmer lid closed during operation, and re-close it quickly when adding
items to it, or removing items from it.
- After use, turn the switch back to the OFF position. Remove any food items.
- Disconnect the power cord from the power supply socket and from the warmer.
Clean unit as described in the Care & Maintenance section of this manual.
- Store in a cool, dry area out of direct sunlight.
CAUTIONS:
• 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 30 minutes to reach its maximum warm
temperature (approx. 120ºF). 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.
• The warmer will continue to operate as long as the vehicle battery
provides power.
• If the vehicle engine is turned off, the unit will continue to draw power
(a minimal 5-amps or 60-watts) from the vehicle battery.
• If the engine is switched off for a long period (overnight) it is
recommended that the warmer be disconnected from the accessory
outlet to avoid draining the vehicle’s battery.
WARNINGS:
• Food will stay warm for some time after the unit is disconnected or turned
off.
• Observe common sense hygiene rules, as with any warming unit. Do
not eat or drink perishable items that may have spoiled or become
contaminated.
