Air temperature will vary within the cooler. This unit does not have a cooling control thermostat.
Contents will stay cool for some time after the unit is disconnected or turned off. However, internal temperature will equalize to external surrounding temperature over time.

WARMING MODE

The unit takes about 30 minutes to reach the maximum warming temperature.
For optimal warming, pre-heat your consumable items to assist the unit in reaching the highest temperature as quickly as possible.
Contents will stay warm for some time after the unit is disconnected or turned off. However, internal temperature will equalize to external surrounding temperature over time.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If the appliance does not operate, check the connection at the DC socket. Rotate the DC plug to make sure it is fully inserted into the socket. If the unit still doesn't operate, turn the unit off and unplug it from the power supply.
First, make sure the socket is clean, then reconnect the DC plug and try turning the unit on again.
If that still does not work, then check the fuse in the plug by unscrewing the tip.
Replace if necessary.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

warning Do not immerse in water. Do not use abrasive cleaners or scrubbers as this may damage the finish.

Turn the power switch off and unplug the cord from its power source.
Remove all contents and allow the unit to equalize with surrounding temperature.
Wipe the inside with a clean, damp cloth. Use a mild soap with water if necessary.
Place the power cord inside the unit to protect it from negligent damage.
Close the lid and store the unit in a cool and dry area.
