using the Travel Cooler and warmer as a warmer
1. Make sure the unit's HOT/OFF/COLD switch is in the OFF position. Start vehicle, or turn ignition to
"accessory" position.
2. Insert the DC plug into the vehicle's 12 volt DC accessory outlet.
3. Move the HOT/OFF/COLD switch on the cooler to the HOT position.
4. The HOT LED indicator will light to show that the unit is warming.
5. Put items into the warmer and close the lid. Do not overstuff the warmer or keep the lid from closing.
The unit's warming system is monitored by an automatic switch that turns the heating system on, then
off when the maximum temperature is reached and back on when the temperature drops.
6. Keep warmer lid closed during operation, and reclose it quickly when adding or removing items.
7. After use, turn the switch to the OFF position. Remove any food items.
8. Disconnect the power cord from the vehicle's accessory outlet.

IMPORTANT:
• Food will stay warm for some time after the unit is disconnected or turned off.
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 120-200 minutes to reach its maximum warm temperature (approx. 120°F
[48.8°C]). 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.
CAUTION: TO AVOID RISK OF INJURY:
• Observe common sense hygiene rules, as with any warming unit. Do not eat or drink perishable items
that may have spoiled or become contaminated.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The Black & Decker® Travel Cooler and Warmer is ruggedly constructed to provide years of dependable
service.
• After each use, clean the unit inside and out with a soft cloth and mild soap solution.
• Do not scrape, scratch or puncture the surface of the cooler with sharp objects or abrasives.
• Dry the unit properly and store in a cool, dry place.
• Always make sure the power cord is disconnected before storing.
• Never allow the cooler/warmer to be immersed in liquid.
Fuse Replacement
The power cord is fuse-protected against short-circuiting, by a 5-amp fuse located in the tip of the 12 volt
DC plug. If the DC socket is powered, but the unit does not operate, then the cooler/warmer fuse may be
open.
To inspect or replace the DC Power Cord Fuse:
1. Unscrew the end-cap of the power cord plug.
2. Remove fuse, inspect it for an open element, and replace with a new 5-amp fuse, if needed.
3. Re-attach the end-cap to the plug.
4. If new fuse opens, call Customer Service department at 1-877-571-2391 for further instructions and
possible return/replacement. This unit is not user-serviceable; it must be returned to the manufacturer
for professional service or repair. Any attempt to service by user will void warranty.
