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 and the other 

end into socket on cooler.

- 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 2 hours to reach its maximum warm tempera-

ture (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 3-amps or 36 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.
